Why do you support trump if he opposes gay marriage
Donald Trump's Newfound Admire for LGBT Voters
— -- Donald Trump is now catering to a diverse group of voters in light of the deadly Orlando nightclub attack: LGBT voters.
Even though he has repeatedly said throughout his campaign that he is against same-sex marriage, that hasn't stopped the presumptive Republican presidential nominee from saying he thinks he would be the better candidate for the homosexual community.
His argument is largely based around his efforts to curtail what he calls "radical Islam," which he blames for the Pulse nightclub shooting which left 49 people dead and 53 others injured.
"I'm far better for the gay community than she is," Trump said of Hillary Clinton.
"She talks a lot about it, and yet she'll allow people in [to the U.S.] that want to kill people from the community, from that community, and I think it's terrible," he told Fox News on Monday, the daytime after the Orlando attack.
How His Position Has Shifted Over the Years
In 1999, Trump sat down with Tim Russert for an interview on "Meet the Press" in which he said that while he hadn't "given lots of thought to" ga
Trump Says He's 'Fine' With Gay Marriage in '60 Minutes' Interview
In his first on-camera interview since last week's election, President-elect Donald Trump proclaimed he's "fine" with same-sex marriage.
“It’s irrelevant because it was already settled. It’s law,” Trump said in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday night. “It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done. These cases own gone to the Supreme Court. They’ve been settled. And I’m fine with that.”
These comments appear to contradict statements Trump made during an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace in January, where he said he would "strongly consider" appointing Supreme Court justices who would repeal same-sex marriage.
Trump's stance on LGBTQ issues has been unclear, though he has made a number of overtures to the collective since clinching the Republican nomination. During his speech at the Republican National Convention, for example, he proclaimed, "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."
He also held up a Pride flag at one of his rallies during the last weeks of

Donald Trump's prevail in the 2024 presidential election was unsettling for many in the Diverse community.
Trump campaigned with anti-transgender rhetoric, and at least one LGBTQ+ organization saw a sharp uptick in people reaching out to their crisis services in the days following the election.
Concerns that same-sex marriage could be under threat began to surface as well, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court, including Trump-appointed justices, overturned the federal right protecting abortion in 2022.

It's a strange moment to be one of the roughly 25 percent of LGBT Americans who lean Republican. Liberal media and Democratic politicians are making apocalyptic pronouncements about the supposed fascist dystopia that awaits America under a potential second legal title for Donald Trump, like the Biden campaign tweeting images from The Handmaid's Tale. Yet at the same second that all this hysteria is going on, the Republican Party's latest platform includes a monumental win for homosexual rights.
For years, a key goal of gay Republicans and their allies has been the removal of the GOP's anti-gay-marriage plank from its official platform. While Trump made history as the first president to take office accepting gay marriage, the Republican platform he formally ran on in 2016 explicitly endorsed "traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman" and specifically denounced the Supreme Court cases enshrining gay marriage as the statute of the area. And in 2020, Republicans essentially recycled the 2016 platform and ran on it again, rather than produce a new one, citing the pandemic's disruptions.
In the new 2024 platform Republicans just released, this language is nowhere to
