Trump confirmed as keynote speaker for anti-LGBT conference

[Flicky]

[quote]President Trump is confirmed as the keynote speaker at the upcoming Values Voters Summit in D.C. hosted by the anti-LGBT Family Research Council, marking the first-time ever a sitting U.S. president has spoke at the annual event.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, announced late Tuesday in a statement Trump would speak on Friday at the conference, which is taking place over the weekend at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.

“Values voters have waited eight years for a leader who puts America’s mission first and respects the values that made America into a great nation,” Perkins said. “Values voters are coming to our nation’s capital thankful to hear from a president who is fulfilling the promises that he campaigned on. Since the early days of the campaign, President Trump allied himself with values voters, promising to put an end to the 8 years of relentless assault on the First Amendment.”

Other speakers at the event are a virtual who’s who of the conservative movement — many of whom are known to have anti-LGBT views. They include House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), RSC Chairman Mark Walker (R-N.C.), “Duck Dynasty’s” Phil Robertson, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore and former White House aide Sebastian Gorka.[/quote]

Lock him up

[Flak]

"But he supports LGBT!"

I will still never understand why anyone ever believed that. From day one it was known he didn't.

[smallpants]

Holy SHIT this is hilarious

[Curls]

Imagine being LGBT and voting for Trump

[Pascall]

100% disgusting

[theIndiekid]

I hope people see how much holding a flag really means. He held/hugged the Star-Spangled Banner as well.

Absolutely no-one should be surprised.

His use of lgbt was never anything more than an anti-muslim dogwhistle.

this image will never not be disgusting[/QUOTE]

Just a reminder that not only is scribbling on the flag disrespectful to it, but he's also holding the flag upside-down.

of course they didn't believe that

from day 1 the strategy was just to convince people that he might not be explicitly anti-lgbt.

If you still think [I]any[/I] of the pre-election arguments we had on here were actually in good faith, you're being delusional

The real question is who scribbled that upside down?

I'll never fucking forget the rabid defense for this man because of him holding the flag. Never.

[BelatedGamer]

Ahahaha every single time I think his thoughts on the LGBT community can't be any more blatant he pulls something like this.

I almost can't believe it. The dishonesty in this administration is unreal.

[Judas]

I wouldnt at all be surprised if the first major legislation tgat this admin passes is some huge sweeping anti-lgbt bill. On top of that, his SC pick will almost certainly rule against LGBT rights at every opportunity.

can you imagine

[New Cidem]

I'd feel like just about the stupidest motherfucker on Planet Earth right now if I were LGBTQ and voted for this dribbling idiot. Jesus Christ.

EDIT: Actually, forget the LGBTQ part, I'd feel like that if I voted for him period.

[paindoc]

this kind of news is just dismaying

i'm pretty sure we're not going to go full chechyna (horrifying as fuck, that is), but I'm having a hard time dismissing the possibility of reversal on laws or even possible prosecution based on sexuality. especially if Justice Kennedy retires

[QUOTE=LaughingStock;52770076]are they really claiming this is a triumph for first amendment rights[/QUOTE]

Rights do not matter unless they may in some way apply to traditional christian families.
The only proof of this that you need is with all the "religious freedom" phooey. People want to enforce Christian doctrine on others, but if you so much as even hint at "sharia law" they'll immediately flip their shit.

[QUOTE]In some countries, however, flying a flag upside-down is conventional protocol to indicate an emergency or problem[/QUOTE]

It's almost poetic in a way

[QUOTE=Flicky;52770102]Just a reminder that not only is scribbling on the flag disrespectful to it, but he's also holding the flag upside-down.[/QUOTE]
Flying a flag upside down is an internationally-recognized sign of critical distress involving imminent threat to life or property. It can also be a sign of flagrant disrespect, depending on context.

I feel that both meanings apply to that photo of El Manos Diminutas. Look at that shit-eating smug expression on his fucking face.
