After reading this article, I am becoming very wary of Trump. No and I mean no one whos just been elected as the President of the US should ever conduct himself in this manner! It totally degrades the office and everything that it and we as Americans stand for.All hail king donny

Troubling times, they have come.  Tomorrow will be filled with talk about the President Elect and his, and his nominees', ties to Russia, as well as Russian hacking.  My Twitter and FB feeds are alive with theories and accusations.  Not a pretty sight.

Hi Everyone,

This is indeed disturbing and sobering. The implications of this could be very detrimental to our community, which has been for the most part critical of him. If he continues stirring up miscontent amoung his more violent supporters, it could make it much more dangerous for us in society. This shows an extreme level of amaturism. I hope for everyone's sake, including his own, that someone he is willing to listen to might take him under thier wing and teach him proper ediquette for a president. This behaviour is unbecoming of his new office.

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

I was reading that it might be important and smart to take actions NOW on name changes and whatever else that Trump and his team may try to make harder for us to do.

No this mess is not a pretty sight, especially if you're old enough to rembember the 1960s all the way through, the asinations , fires, protest against the Vietnam war, battles on college campous' . The history books that students read today do not the 1960s and their  effects upon our generation and resulting one.

My concern is because "I like, have a pretty good brain" he will not entertain or otherwise consider other's opinions even when they are in positions of knowing more information than he.  His comment (rant) about "how do they know?" when told there has been hacking during the election irks me.  He treats it as if it's a personal attack.  Leaders from both parties are raising the flag on that point.  There is credible evidence that election related websites (candidates, party office) have been hacked during previous election cycles.  It's going to be a rough four years.

I didn't even read the article yet, but if you're just now realizing that Trump is a very scary person, you're a bit late to the party. LOL.

I and many others have been petrified that he would get into office and create a dream-team of hate, and it's happening. At this point, all we can do is cross our fingers and hope that someone keeps control of him, even a little.

I think the thing that has been most disturbing to me is how fast Hilary supporters became violent hateful and potentially dangerous after flying the flag of peaceful voice of reason. It tells me everything even "peace and love " is a mask that is quickly dropped when things do not go their way. The electoral college is a good example of this. The electors had their personal details leaked making them a target for the " love trumps hate " army. Receiving 10s of thousands of emails phone calls and letters many in the form of death threats. If they do not change their vote to Hilary. Social media absolutely buzzs with calls for his murder. And plenty of noteworthy news stories of trump supporters being attacked. One a 73 year old woman was assaulted by a 34 year old man because she supported Trump. My supervisor at work is a Hilary supporter... she had to take 3 days off work after the election. And since she has returned has made the lives of anyone there that voted Trump as miserable as she possibly can. So if that is the Love Dems have to show.... I can do with out it.

What scares me however is not particularity Trump. Trump, if he Effs up can be impeached. BUT what you get in return is Mike Pence as POTUS. Now while Donald Trump really hasn't said any thing against the LGBT. Mike Pence on the other hand HATES us. There is a reason Indiana ( The state I was born raised and started my transition in ) is considered one of the reddest states in the union. Mike Pence since elected gov of IN has done nothing but bolster this hate of the lgbt at every turn and has since made it extremely difficult to transition legally in Indiana. That is just  one state now imagine he has control of every thing with a R congress and house... really scary stuff.

Or an even worse case senario The EC does not choose Trump/Pence but instead choose another more suitable republican... ( sorry to dash any ones dreams but they will not choose Hilary Clinton) They would likely pull from the primary election pool and the two runners up there. Marc Rubio or Ted Cruz The worst case Ted Cruz is a religious Zealot who staunchly supports aggressive conversion therapy and hates us likely more than Mike Pence if that is at all possible. So, while many of you might have your fears of Donald Trump far as I can tell we are not even on his radar. But if we keep up with the pitch forks and torches we may end up with a president whos personal and spirtual mission in life is to personally pisson every single one of us.

Fiona, No, I'm not late to the party at all. I pretty much knew what he would try to pull and it looks like he's right on course.    I posted this so that if anyone wasn't sure of what was going on, they would be made aware of it.

Personally I know that the 2016 elections were a bad mammy-jammer; especially to us as a community. Let's see if any of Trumps friends in Hollywood can get him to support us.

You are right, Pence is a hater for sure.. You know the old saying, when a man hates  the LGBT as much as he does; there's be a latent reason behind it.   And you're right, the peons below Trump are even worse in their hateful attitudes. At least he isn't known as a hater. He has employed the LGBT in his biz.

Does not matter what side you are on, right, left, up, down, or neutral.

Don't we all deserve the best elected people of good character ?

The people we entrust to run this country should be held accountable for their actions.

Nope, I'm not late for the party. I've been following it since  this night mare on the White House began. I just haven't said much. But my opinion is that it's going to be a terrible time for the  LGBT community..We must remain strong because only in strength will we be the victors.
