In case you needed further proof that “representation” is not liberation.

    I don’t see any spinning heads. Obviously the person has other terrible qualities that Trump likes more than he hates gays.

    He has hired black people and Trump hates black people. He still thinks the Central Park 5 are guilty despite the actual perpetrator being found and the five being exonerated.

        White people would pay to see black performers in the 50s, but wouldn’t let them use the same water fountains or building entrances.

        You can be a bigoted prick while still employing people you’re bigoted against.

            What don’t you like? It’s an example of “having a black friend doesn’t make you not racist” in the same way that “hiring a gay man doesn’t make you a friend of gays”. Trump has already indicated that he will (again) disallow trans people in the military.

            You ever hear somebody use the phrase “he’s one of the good ones?” Because I get the feeling trump uses it quite a bit. Besides - it’s obvious Trump cares more about loyalty than he does ideology. Even Hitler had a homosexual in his organization at the start.
