During his acceptance speech, Donald Trump continued the convention-long ruse of attempting to have the GOP appear as a big, inclusive tent.

He attempted to appear protective of GLBTQ people by proclaiming the GOP must protect us.

As he declared,

“As your President, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.”

But the important words are “hateful foreign ideology.

He once again, as some speakers before him had, used references about Islamic countries that outlaw gay people and often kill them, not to speak in favor of Gay people, but to present an example of why we should not allow those evil Muslims, any of them, into our country.

He used Gay people as a tool.

And, why the need to specifically refer to foreign ideology?

Because the Republican Platform promotes violence and oppression domestically.

Along with various GOP politicians and evangelical pastors, evangelicals earning a big thank you from Trump, and spokespeople, having called for the deaths of Gay people, Trump has said he will nominate justices to the Supreme Court who would reverse the SCOTUS decision on marriage equality.

A lot cialis from canada has been said about appearance in literature.

The platform promotes “natural marriage”, the union of one man and one woman, and calls for a reversal of the 2015 Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The platform also opposes bathroom choice for transgender people.

As bad as it has been shown to be, the platform includes the promotion of conversion therapy which has been denounced by all leading medical organizations, and is based on the religious belief that  homosexuality is a choice and a sinful one at that.

The Q part of GLBTQ can be sent without any choice to religious therapists whose methods will not be regulated because parents should be allowed to seek whatever treatment or therapy they deem fit for their children. Considering the false information churches promote from the pulpit and their claims that God does not like Gay people because they are an abomination unto Him, pastors could have a strong unregulated influence on the parental decision.

They have, after all, been convincing parents to throw their Gay children out into the street and reject them for years now.

And parents have done that.

Religious freedom was also included which would allow businesses to refuse service to GLBT people. Anti-Gay discrimination is sanctioned by the GOP.

The Platform, ignoring studies, advocates discrimination against LGBT couples who wish to adopt children claiming that two-parent households, those resulting from natural marriage, account for more physically and emotionally healthier children.

Ironically the conventioneers cheered for Laura Ingrahm who opened her speech by announcing she is a single mother who had adopted three wonderful children.

How could that be?

So while Trump will fight to protect GLBTQ people from foreigners, he will support those who attack here at home.
