| The LGBTQ community will be voting for equality, fairness, & to send a message to these Trump evangelicals. |
Those of us who will be voting blue will be voting for honesty and the integrity of our country. We will be voting to send a message that our leaders need to do better and not cower under the nonsense that Trump spews. We will be voting to say that Trumpism is vile poison.
And we won't forget the enablers of Trumpism, i.e. the right-wing evangelicals. The so-called Christian and moral leaders (James Dobson, Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council, Franklin Graham, the Alliance Defending Freedom, Robert Jeffress, etc. etc.) who traded the religious integrity they were supposed to uphold for power and White House access. Those leaders who weaponized the Bible and twisted it with ease to make excuses for Trump or give him "mulligans" for his un-Christian behavior.
The LGBTQ community know these Trump evangelicals much more than we would like to.
In the 50s and 60s, they said we were perverts who ought to be jailed.
In the 70s, they said we recruit children.
In the 80s, they said we were diseased freaks who run around catching AIDS.
In the 90s, they said we wanted "special rights."
In the 2000s, they said we wanted to redefine marriage.
Now they claim we are trying to put Christians out of business and jail them.
And in the two years in which Trump has been in the White House, he has given them the power to make policy and has basically done their bidding to make our lives hell. From attempting to steal LGBTQ tax dollars and award them to entities which would still be allowed to discriminate against us to attempting to ban transgender men and women from serving in the military to attempting to erase the trans identity to attempting to erase all of us from the Census, Trump and his allies have done the LGBTQ community dirty. But on Tuesday, we can begin to collect the dues and pay back the attacks. We've always had power to stop them and tomorrow, we need to begin exercising that power by voting.

Bias and prejudice-motivated fee speech is something #FRCdc is well known for. Hostile, aggressive bullying free-speech that contributes to an already hostile, dangerous environment.
There is concern about a harmonious future for all of mankind, yet we can count on the fact there will always be deeply intolerant organizations with a savage opposition to LGBT people.
On social media Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Questioning encounter bullying, trolling, scams, hate speech, and more. Fact: there is a wide range of discriminatory practices. A failing by authorities to adequately protect LGBT people world-wide.
Perkins assert that they promote traditional family values, but their words are contradictory to the teachings found in the Beatitudes, as well as the work of The Christ.
Members of FRCdc eyes and ears are tightly shut... none will hear or see but what they want to hear and see. But in their eyes LGBTQ people will always be seen as demons or monsters. Monsters of their own creation.
Tony Perkins: “If you must be afraid of something, then be afraid of turning into a hateful bigot. Be afraid of being a blind follower to dogmas. Be afraid to become a deluded monster beneath the skin of a human being.” Abhijit Naskar
As persons of spiritual faith it is our responsibility to promote mutual trust, respect and friendship… as a person of faith we should provide the tender warmth of familial love that has been denied to so many — familial love that so many have never known.
