Gay Republicans speak out on why they’re backing President Trump: “I don’t base my vote on my being gay.” - NBCOUT

Kazmierczak called Trump a “staunch supporter of gay people and their rights,” but he said he makes a distinction when it comes to religious groups.

Trump made a halfhearted effort to court the LGBTQ community in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. He called the massacre of 49 mostly LGBTQ people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that year an"assault on the ability of free people to live their lives, love who they want and express their identity."

And two days before Election Day, he grabbed an upside-down Pride flag inscribed with"LGBT for Trump" at a rally in Colorado and waved it around.

NBCOUT Because your ignorant? Get with it people. The man can't stand any of you and he 'said' your all disgusting and it grosses him out to touch any of you. Yup, I want to stand by someone like him. Regardless of what he is doing to our country.

NBCOUT Ah. Here it is. Brandon Straka launched WalkAway because he saw a business opportunity.

NBCOUT LOL, I really don’t believe this, when you have Trump trying to take their rights away😢🇺🇸

NBCOUT Any great policy out there for LGBT once in Those 4 years?

NBCOUT

NBCOUT He’d sooner have you all locked up you fools

NBCOUT

NBCOUT They should start

NBCOUT the idea of being gay and republican is the equivalent of a slave being pro master and pro slave trade

NBCOUT They're going to be really happy when ACB takes away their right to gay marriage.

Yeah, this is bullshit through and through

NBCOUT White gays

NBCOUT ( The gay community) Must realize that trump is here to win over anyone at this time, just to stay in office. Not because he genuinely cares about you it’s all a political advantage to win the election.

NBCOUT Idiots come in all shades.

NBCOUT They probably hate being gay. Sad.

NBCOUT Idiots. Complete ignorance. Trump would absolutely take your rights away if he did not live in a democracy. He is not on the LGBTQ side with anything!!

NBCOUT They speak the truth. The issue is not being gay, but what Trump has given our country. He resuscitated our dying country from Obama! Our middle class was pinned down to the gutter and revived again. We are the champion under One God.

NBCOUT Despite the popular democratic belief, gay people are strong, intelligent, and don't need a bunch of sympathy. They also want safe communities, and have seen their investment accounts explode over the past 4 years.

NBCOUT People are not monoliths. Claiming they were 'paid' supporters cheapens their opinion and thus everyone else's. Individual life experiences cannot be duplicated and thus bring people to different conclusions. They have a reason to vote this way. Think for yourselves.

NBCOUT They also don’t base their vote on being smart either

NBCOUT Time to wake up, folks. Trump is not anti-gay but pro-freedom. As he tries to stop the riots, your lovely leftist leaders want to strip away the 2A right for all people, including LGBTQ+, to protect themselves from harm. Remember, Hitler disarmed and then eradicated. Dems disarm.

NBCOUT This is Russian propaganda!Trump hates gays,lesbians and trans.He’s desperate at only 15days to elections!He’s called on the outlawed so called proud boys neo-Nazi hate groups to try to intimidate citizens as poll watchers!But,governors banned all weapons at or around poll areas!

NBCOUT Shameful!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT This cannot be real?!

NBCOUT Maybe they are just not sure if their “sexual preferences”.

NBCOUT “I base my vote on being stupid.”

NBCOUT If you don’t vote Biden you ain’t gay.

NBCOUT So many straight people telling gays how to vote. I’m Gay and will 100% vote to drain the swamp. A second time !

NBCOUT Lol it's ok most won't have ins for their 'partners' b4 too long under trumpy

NBCOUT Lol a lot of democrats going bsod. What, you don't think gay people have diverse political views?

NBCOUT That's unfortunate for them because he can't stand you!!

NBCOUT SMH

NBCOUT Oh great, so they're just willfully ignorant.

NBCOUT They are paid actors!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Fake news

NBCOUT 'Trump has been very clever in doing the absolute least [for us] but making the most of it,' he said. 'He's giving people a sense that he's doing much more. By giving them a shred, he's allowing them to make the case that he's gay-friendly.'

NBCOUT There are stupid people in every group.

NBCOUT We're surprised that gay people can vote for Trump but nobody wonders about 'nodding lady'?

NBCOUT I will say regardless of anyone's political views/spirituality/religion/orientation/Ethnicity/Race/Educational background/income level etc. Almost not all but most can come to the same conclusion that Kamala Harris is who's holding Joe Biden back as she herself is an Extremist.

NBCOUT I think it more or less has to do with the Extremism that has hijacked the Liberals, it used to be Right Wing Nut Jobs were Radical & Liberals thought w/more of a level head, now Conservative's are more level headed & Liberals have become Radical there is no more balance.

NBCOUT Every1 has the right to vote the way that they want. Based on this article, I have follow up questions for those that participated. But just because a handful of people vote 1 way doesn’t mean every1 else will. Good luck 2 them.

NBCOUT The way Donald Trump is treating gays in the military I wouldn't think there is 1 gay person who would vote for him. A lot of selfish people around. Hope there is no married couple in that bunch

NBCOUT Bitcoin price is going to go to the 🌙! Grayscale, Micro-strategies, Square, and StoneRidge bought more than is being mined. So if this continues, all new bitcoin bought will have to be by people willing to sell. But as price 🚀 goes up, less are going to want to sell. Demand=$🙃

NBCOUT Trump already has the PROUD BOYS, THEREFORE WE KNOW Trump appeals to GAYs! Trump talk so ugly about women; we have all figured out how he feels about women! I think Gays are following their Proud Boys!

NBCOUT Apple don’t fall far from the tree

NBCOUT A spokesman continued, “that would be identity politics. No, I base my vote on being stupid and selfish. And I know there are millions more, closeted and straight, white and off-white, who agree with me.”

NBCOUT They want their rights taken by Amy. Weird kink.

NBCOUT Reason why he's getting my vote it's because he's done so much in this 3 and 1/2 years almost 4 years for this country than any other president before him especially Obama and by God's not going to do crack for us he's going to do the opposite

NBCOUT Gays for Trump funny haha just wait until he cut all the rights that Obama allow you guys to have

NBCOUT I guess the want of white supremacy is greater and out weighs the right to be gay .

NBCOUT Do they not realize trump is taking away their rights?

NBCOUT LGBTQ activist have attacked more rights of strait people then anyone has gay rights! Rights come with responsibility to accept and respect those of others or we degenerate into a Nation of none!

NBCOUT No, they base their vote on being stupid

NBCOUT

NBCOUT The statistics they get about low unemployment and black unemployment is all residual from Obama’s administration.

trment2015 NBCOUT I know what they don't base their vote on. Good character and integrity. I hope it still exist. What can we teach our kids without it? These will be the only things you take to your grave that's worth anything.

NBCOUT Pure ignorance....Those who haven’t yet married their same sex partner will never get the chance because the scotus will overturn the same sex marriage decision as soon as possible once ACB is confirmed !

NBCOUT On being racist? Hypocrites? Double standard? What?

NBCOUT To each is own. But when he overturns gay rights we will see how they stand.

NBCOUT I still try to understand any logic to a trump supporter and national security. Not only are we not safer as a country nationally, but her in the states extremism and crime is up 15 percent and only getting worse

NBCOUT Got_It 👊🏻

NBCOUT Just a heads up, non-traditional Republicans...the GOP wants the black, LGBTQ+, women, Hispanic, Latino, etc, VOTE, but they sure don't want to hear what you have to say and they definitely don't want to have you over for dinner...get a fucking clue!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Sad group of gays that they would support someone taking away their rights. Hope none of them are married. They won’t be in the next 4 years if he gets re-elected

NBCOUT Trump gas done everything to stifle gay rights and they are going to vote for him. Well they will reap their rewards if he wins and they better not complain!

NBCOUT A bunch of ignorant self loathing queens. This is just like Jews For Hitler.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT

NBCOUT One supporter said he's voting for Trump bc of the economy and natl security. What? Trump has tanked the healthy the economy with tax cuts for corps and his negligent handling of covid and he threatens our natl security. Not to mention he has consistently opposed LGBTQ rights.

NBCOUT Just dumb.

NBCOUT Nah

NBCOUT They back him because they are stupid

NBCOUT SAD!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT

NBCOUT This looks staged. More paid people to do this?

NBCOUT “I don’t base my vote on being gay” Has a “Gays for Trump” sign.

NBCOUT He will gladly take your votes and then vote your rights away.

NBCOUT So fucking stupid.

NBCOUT There were Jews that supported Hitler, too. It's a free country. For now.

NBCOUT They base their vote on self-hate.

NBCOUT idiots...every single one of them

NBCOUT Some Jews also liked Hitler?

NBCOUT A LOT of cognitive dissonance going on within this group

NBCOUT That’s like Jews for Hitler 🤦‍♂️

NBCOUT I'm not Gay so I'm not saying anything......Yes, I am. These people are fucking out of their minds with stupid.

NBCOUT Why vote against your interests 🙄, a 2$ taxt cut and racial divide is not worth voting for this guy.

NBCOUT Well, I'm sure these folks will be all for ACB as the new SCOTUS prepared to dissolve same sex marriage.

NBCOUT Uncomprehending idiots

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Well you should base your rights on civil liberties

NBCOUT 'BEES FOR MURDER HORNETS!'

NBCOUT Cool, so you vote for the party that wants to treat you like a third class citizen and take away your rights.....

NBCOUT As it should be. They’re smart! MAGA!

NBCOUT Turkeys for Thanksgiving.

NBCOUT These people have a brain unlike the BLM folks

NBCOUT whole lotta white people in this picture

NBCOUT no, it seems that lot bases it on being racists above all other things

NBCOUT C'mon man, if you ain't votin for me, then you ain't gay!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT hmm?

NBCOUT

NBCOUT And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for what they have earned, He would not leave upon the earth any creature. But He defers them for a specified term. And when their time comes, then indeed Allah has ever been, of His servants, Seeing.

NBCOUT Just like heterosexual trump voters it’s not sexuality that votes for trump it’s moral bankruptcy that does

NBCOUT

NBCOUT He’s putting in judges to discard our rights

NBCOUT That is exactly what many of my gay friends said to me. “LGBTQ does not speak for me; I can make up my own mind; I voted for Trump”.

NBCOUT That’s interesting because the Supreme Court will absolutely base it’s votes on you being gay.

NBCOUT How about basing it on voting for the best candidate? And it sure isn't Donald Trump.

NBCOUT I doubt they are gay. Trump is nothing but lying con games.

NBCOUT Even gays need to be safe - Law and Order - That’s Trump

NBCOUT

NBCOUT wow. then they won’t understand why their rights have been stripped away.

NBCOUT Give me break!

NBCOUT My eyes can’t roll as largely as needed here.

NBCOUT Gays for Trump is like Chickens for Nuggets....

NBCOUT

NBCOUT I’m here for the ratio

NBCOUT Well, no one said the gays were the sharpest tools in the shed.

NBCOUT So I see you got your monthly check from the Russians.

NBCOUT Talk about voting against your interests

NBCOUT Turkeys voting for Christmas.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Wait wait wait I grantees this is a fake group with fake identities. Trump is anti LGBT there should some assholes to support him and do self destruction

NBCOUT “I don’t base my vote on my being gay.” YOU Should!

NBCOUT The Republicans will remove your rights as gay people to exist.

NBCOUT Idiots- what do you base your vote on? His honesty? His decency?

NBCOUT The Democrats have always relied on sowing dissent among groups to ensure reliable voting blocks, but identity politics has finally jumped the shark—people are getting sick of their entire self being reduced to a single defining characteristic. Our complexity is our strength.

NBCOUT Oh I don’t know maybe because they actually like our country unlike the Democrats

NBCOUT Has anyone told them,that a recent nominee to the Supreme Court thinks camp is a place you go to on the weekends, oh and that small matter of marriage can only be between a man and a woman ?

NBCOUT Like Jews for Hitler

NBCOUT Bless your heart

NBCOUT I’m gay and Trump is a complete threat to me and my marriage. These people are fake gays.

NBCOUT I will never understand this Never

NBCOUT Now I am really laughing!

NBCOUT Surprise, gay people may also be racists.

NBCOUT Just as well because being gay won’t be easy if he gets back in

NBCOUT Chickens for Colonel Sanders!

NBCOUT Couldn't find any more obscure diners to kiss Trump supporters asses?

NBCOUT The Trump family must have the highest state power to cover up allegations of tax evasion. If he loses this presidential election, the trump family will be arrested by federal agencies. The trump family will be very scared now, because he will lose the presidential election.

NBCOUT I'm not going to even read the dumb article. It's your right to back h i m I guarantee if this Supreme Court nominee gets in. Your rights will be gone

NBCOUT And make a list of human rights given to LGBTQ Americans under Republican leadership? Ok go....

NBCOUT They want a sugar daddy, a big time bugarron'

NBCOUT Are you getting paid by the Trump campaign to write this garbage?

NBCOUT If he wins, they’ll get what they deserve.

NBCOUT How convenient for them

NBCOUT It's not surprising, unfortunately. There are many who, due to their social status, will vote against the good of the community. They feed off the work done by others, thinking their social status and their wealth will keep them safe.

NBCOUT If you are in Asia. You will find a lot of advertisements from Chinese Communist Party manufacturers on facebook and twitter. This is why they support the CCP even if they are rejected in the Chinese market

NBCOUT Stop

NBCOUT Good because if he is re-elected and OfBarrett confirmed all you’ll have is the identity you wanted... trump supporter. Not American, not individuals, just.. a fan.

NBCOUT 🙄😏

NBCOUT Or being particularly bright. Vote Biden. Harris.

NBCOUT Gays for Trump is like Slugs for Salt

NBCOUT Why any gay person would vote in such a way that directly serves to defeat their own self-interest is unfathomable to me. This is true of Blacks, women, veterans, the disabled, etc. Trump has proven his disdain for all of these groups, either in speech, deed, or both.

NBCOUT 25?

NBCOUT Cursed creatures on the planet😏😏

NBCOUT I think looking at the Trump supporters... Putin implemented and activated an amazing sleeper agent program in the US... There's no any other rationale to explain this...

NBCOUT So you’ve just gone full blown Trump now? I’m going to miss dateline but I’m done with

NBCOUT The difference between a Trump or a Biden supporter is Trump supporters think for themselves while Biden supporters don’t trust their own intellectual ability and rely on corrupt media to tell them what to think. Just another way to say Biden supporters are dumb

NBCOUT They will get what they deserve if he wins..0 rights, no right to marry and who knows, they could become 'enemies' and done away with. No pride, no rainbow, no nothin

NBCOUT Some 100% but most 49%

NBCOUT

NBCOUT AND “”GAYS”” ARE NOT PRO TRUMP..

NBCOUT They are just stupid ...very simple explanation no need to dig deep.

NBCOUT “”STRAIGHT UP DELUSIONAL”” TRUMP IS NOT PRO GAY OR PRO TRANSGENDER “”

NBCOUT He could at least base his vote on being human.

NBCOUT Literally the dumbest think I'll read all night.

NBCOUT What’s it like to hate yourself that much?

NBCOUT The effects of internalized homophobia on display for the world to see. How sad.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT It's fucking sad to see when oppressed groups, when they get a chance, are voting against their own interests and argue how important it is for others to tell you who to love...🙊🙉 That is some rock bottom self esteem and worth... 😭

NBCOUT Wealthy trump fans.

NBCOUT What?

NBCOUT All together now....'WGAS!'

NBCOUT It looks like Jason Rogers may be in have been so busy counting his digits bump in his 401K acct, business tax bennies that he may want to read up AP on 45s actions irt 🤷🏽‍♂️ -national security -public safety -foreign policies -equal, civil right esp. irt minority 🇺🇸groups

NBCOUT It’s like everyone else. Only the stupid support trump

NBCOUT I know....that's the problem.

NBCOUT Is not ”Gay Republicans” is this few Republicans happen to b gay, now I love the fact I can enjoy a little small part of this straight world privilege like marriage and create a family and been gay, next time interview the properly gay ppl

NBCOUT Well probably they realized Biden was against same sex marriages

NBCOUT Remind me of this!

NBCOUT Trump's Base == Least Self Aware

NBCOUT Sadly there is a small percentage of white elitism in the gay community. They think trump will protect that and their wealth. Visit Palm Springs.

NBCOUT Good people 👍🏻🇺🇸

NBCOUT Lots of people in the south have been voting against their best interests for generations...so yeah 🤷‍♂️

NBCOUT Nazis in tutus?

NBCOUT So vote in, again, someone who won’t improve equality, will continue to write in religious bills to oppress LGBT’s and will no doubt remove hard won rights if he gets a second term! Lambs to the slaughter. Idiots, and an absolute disgrace to the LGBT+ community!

NBCOUT Gays for Trump = Chickens for KFC.

NBCOUT Like cattle for slaughter

NBCOUT You can’t seriously suggest that trump is protecting the LGBTQ community when one of the first things he did was ban trans from military service without any regard to any other criteria. Explain that one to me. Or the return to putting gay marriage under attack again. So wrong!!

NBCOUT Pffft.

NBCOUT he's lying to you guys please cross reference your in danger

NBCOUT Paid Actors....AGAIN🤦‍♀️

NBCOUT Gay republicans are the same people who would line up first for trump to execute them

NBCOUT Says 'Martin Smith', who's hobbies include shooting himself in the foot and kicking his own ass..

NBCOUT Maybe you could base your vote on being a good and responsible human, then?

NBCOUT People with confidence in their intelligence think this way; but the majority of folks don't have this; though they claim to; but in the end they make the SAFE vote for the guy who seems most like a school principal over the risky vote for a guy who seems like a 'character'.

NBCOUT They base their vote on being white....

NBCOUT They’re paid to hold those signs.

NBCOUT They base their vote and ability to lie and pussy grab?

NBCOUT Don’t base my vote on being gay and your holding up signs that say gays 4 trump

NBCOUT so why campaign as gay

NBCOUT Trump literally is stripping away the LGBTQ rights, I don’t know how some people think. I’m straight but I care about LGBTQ and their rights more than gay for trump.

NBCOUT trees 4 wildfires! I dont base my vote on being a tree, the mainstream media is just unfair to wildfires

NBCOUT There’s a significant segment of the gay community who are racist. Just hop on Grindr and you’ll see it. They forget how we were treated.

NBCOUT Apparently neither is it based on empathy, kindness nor truthfulness.

NBCOUT Fools

NBCOUT There’s a lot of gay for pay out there. Just some cash and they do whatever the client wants

NBCOUT Idiots!!!

NBCOUT Is he gay too

NBCOUT Forgive them Ole Lord Cher, for they know not what they do. ✝️ Actually, on second thought, Smite the holy living sh*t out of them. 🤬🤬🤬 Pride JoeBiden LBGTQ

NBCOUT Jews for Hitler!

NBCOUT I don’t vote 4 candidate simply for LGBTQIA reasons GaysForTrump But I am gay and I my decision to vote for JoeBiden is because I am looking at all the issues. POTUS has failed on all those levels. Not sure what absurd reasons u have GayRepublicans 4 still voting 4 him

NBCOUT This just illustrates that a tiny percentage of gay people are sociopathic or stupid.

NBCOUT If you’re gay and pro trump....you’re basically trump. Enjoy your cancellation 💔

NBCOUT They aren't gay. They're just lying. Like the white people wearing the Blacks For Trump shirts.

NBCOUT Any gay person that votes for Trump is a self hating gay.

NBCOUT It's a known fact hate virus melts brain cells.

NBCOUT If you don't vote Biden then you ain't Black.

KassandraKitson NBCOUT NBC... you tried hard. Now do the hunter things and tell me it's true or not.

NBCOUT TurkeysForThanksgiving!

NBCOUT WhitePrivilege

NBCOUT OKIE DOKIE ... give him 4 more unhinged years & you can say good-bye to any civil rights & protections you have. You understand that VP thinks your an abomination, right? Trump & his WhiteHouse has never once acknowledged gray pride & ACB thinks 'gay' is a preference.

NBCOUT It’s amazing that people think the economy - based on record debt, is actually sustainable. Trump should have been paying down the debt when handed a good economy. Instead he was obsessed with the stock market - spending hundreds of billions to artificially stimulate it.

NBCOUT trump, his evangelical christians and most Republicans abhor LGBTQs. That would be like a woman voting for Otto Weininger. 🙄

NBCOUT I’m gay, a woman and white. These people are voting based on their white interest.

NBCOUT Takes all kinds to make the world go round. Takes a Trump lover to mess it all up.

NBCOUT Thank you for this report - it reported facts, polls with sources, and acknowledges uncertainty in reporting. Somehow being proud of being different became a a negative stigma. Be your own person, do your own research, don’t be a label.

NBCOUT Some people just don’t read the news anymore

NBCOUT I’m done with trying to figure out why trump voters support him. These stories can stop any time now.

NBCOUT Then maybe you shouldn’t be holding the ‘gays for Trump’ sign?

NBCOUT Ah yes .... those 12 angry queens who couldn't get laid in a dimly lit Roman orgy!

NBCOUT Undateable

NBCOUT Everyone is free to base the own vote on what they want, of course. But - if you don’t want to do it on being gay, signs with the slogan gays for Trump seem odd.
