    I don’t know why republicans as so obsessed with it either, always seemed like a non-issue compared to the other things we are facing.

    Wow, I just clicked the link inside the made up source, it took me to the same place.

    Old racist tactic, would that be like Lester Maddox appointed more blacks than Jimmy Carter, as reported by Cynthia Tucker's rag? Here's the thing, we haven't killed homosexuals in like...I don't know, my history teacher in the seventies was Gay, I went to the Gay barber near the Officer's quarters instead of the straight enlisted one, because the Gay guy could actually cut hair and I didn't look like Alfalfa.

    Of course it's a racist tactic, only "brown" people's countries currently kill homosexuals worldwide, and that must be racist because we had a Mooslem president, or so said Madonna...and Trump just wants to attack Mooslems.

    Consistent messaging isn't exactly this Admins strong suit.

    Then perhaps you'll vouchsafe us a glimpse at the metric by which the sixth commandment could possibly be something other than a religious value.
    You're misusing the phrase.
    Then society has the right to legalize murder. Right?
    What the hell that has to do with anything I ever said I have no idea.
    That makes one of us.

    Gays oppose Trump's push for gay rights
    [​IMG]

    How sad are these clowns?
    Seems that like environmentalism isn't really about the environment.
    Socialism isn't really about disparity.
    and now for this clown, gays rights isn't really about gay rights.

    Point out where Mathew Rodriguez "calls Trump racist for telling Iran to stop killing and jailing gays".

    Do Trump supporters just read headlines from articles that have an agenda and not bother with facts?

    Trump apparently not familiar with his administration's push for global decriminalization of homosexuality

    Looks like the media rushed to get this story out without checking with Trump first. Grenell should probably be fired for speaking "on behalf" of the administration without having the authorization to do so.

    This may be the most ignorant stance on homosexuality ever written.

    Claiming something that you don’t understand as a mental illness is extreme ridiculousness.

    I am willing to bet that Trump is perfectly aware of the plan, but does not want to publicly endorse it as it would alienate a key component of his base.

    Which is the exact opposite of what Obama did. He kept African Americans on food stamps and destroyed just about everything he touched. He was good at wire tapping though.

    You think a man who likes his briefings drawn in crayon is aware of what his administration is doing?

    You give him too much credit.

    Murder is illegal because it intersects the rights of anther, not because some religious belief.
    Morality is completely subjective
    Yes they could, murder is already legal under several pretenses
