This would be a stark departure from his previous stances on LGBT issues.



If Pence is as big of an influence in his administration that some have lead us to believe, I would guess this will be Pence's baby.

Further, most of his EO's so far have been an attempt to undo whatever he can to undo Obama's legacy. Gar marriage is one, even though it was a Supreme Court decision that got it done.

How is this relevant to my position?

Women having abortions don't affect me either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree with it or support it. Some things are simply bad.

Nope. Can't lambast the "conservatives" on the Supreme Court and still give Obama credit for this. They screwed up that ruling hardcore.

ETA: He couldn't possibly undo this with an executive order. Bringing it up here seems silly.

This will be pro gay, IMO. I can't wait to see the rationalization.

This is great. (still literally hitler tho)

They're foaming at the mouth to protest, so I actually hope it's pro gay so that the leftists are left disappointed. They want to be victims so bad so they'll be angry if Trump does something they like.

abortion is the bigger fight for him, IMO. And that fight seems to be full steam ahead.

This is throwing the opposition a bone on a topic Trump agrees with them. It's, essentially, negotiation for future terms.

IMHO

You know damn well that will not be acceptable to the left. There will be protests, probably a march.

Can someone help me understand what part of adoptions the executive office is involved in? I don't understand how he can constitutionally issue an EO here.

Oh I know he can't do anything on gay marriage with an EO. But accurate or not, history will show gay marriage became legal under Obama's tenure. Trump's EO's have been an attempt to undo Obama's legacy. They can't touch gay marriage, so they'll go for something related to it.


Just my guess here. He could go the other way. I don't think Trump really gives a rip about gay marriage/adoption. Pence on the other hand does.

I hope to god this is something in favor of LGBT.

A) I tend to support LGB issues to a certain degree.
B) The level of consternation and probably silence emanating from the left will be hilarious
