Trump
Flip Flops on Gay Rights. Stays Against Same Sex Muttrimony
New York, NY, August
1, 2016: We are
discouraged to report that the presidential contender for the
Republiphants is more against gay muttrimony than for it. That is,
one day he's sort of for it. The next day, he's vaguely against it.
But his overriding opinion seems to be against.
Our intrepid
reporter, Brunhilda Bulldog, has been sniffing out The Donald's
confusing stance on this issue ever since the man declared he was
going to run for the highest office in the land. He has issued a
number of conflicting responses on the topic all during this period.
Just last year, he said on Meet the Press
that gay workers should not be fired just because of their sexual
orientation.
However, Trump has
not remained clear on this issue either. He came out in support of
the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), introduced by anti-gay
Republicans in Congress last year. FADA will permit all sorts of
exemptions to enforcement by religious organizations. When he speaks
to their members, he stresses he's against same sex rights,
especially in muttrimonial matters. When he speaks to the public at
large, he's all for gay rights.
And,
all along, while
claiming publicly he cares for LGBTQ rights, he offers no plan for
legislation to back up the rights of members of the community. Not
certainly in muttrimony, and not in the workplace. There is no plan
to keep LGBTQ critters from being fired from their posts pulling
sleds or carriages in places like Central Park, or protected from
unkind humans in charge of man-critter operations across the land.
And more telling,
Trump has said he will appoint Supreme Court Judges who will support
him in re-writing the laws permitting same sex NIPtuals.
Brunhilda will be
nipping at his heels throughout this campaign. At her own peril. Mr.
Trump does not take well to reporters who challenge him, as we know.
So do send our brave bulldog your heartfelt wishes for the strength
to keep dogging this man's campaign.
