I can't believe that's true, for one it would be blatantly unconstitutional, for another it'd be politically moronic- a pro LGBT EO could fracture or weaken the opposition what you're showing would be another step to losing the entire Pacific Coast to secession.


You're saying this would be true if he issued an executive order that let groups exclude same sex couples from their adoption services?

You are such a chicken shite pussy for ghosting this board for months after talking so much shite about how Trump would completely bomb the election in a landslide.

If that's true, then shite is about to hit the fan. I know that they aren't protected in every state and they aren't a part of it, but this like stripping Title VII rights away blacks. It will be a shite show.

Also I think sexual orientation should be added to Title VII if all those other groups have it as well.

Dude is going to town with the EOs. On pace for about 30,000.

I agree with you on Trump. I don't think he really cares about the gay issue. Pence does, and from most of what I've read Pence has influential voice in this administration.


There's also the Bannon angle. He's on record as saying he'd like to see the entire system blown up. He loves chaos, and an anti-gay EO would cause massive chaos.

Again, just my hunch. And if I'm right, I'll know it wasn't all Trump.

Oh now if this is the order then he should definitely do that.

Why are we assuming that "Connor Sheets" of @lgtbqnation has any access to Trump WH?

It's a distraction. They'll drop it. Watch what other moves they make at the same time. Senate procedural rules maybe?

You must be one of the many pre-2017 small government advocates on this board?

And anti-gay EO is just a giant tactical miscalculation.

It would be pretty disastrous.

This is kind of where I sit on it, too. I'm still not convinced it's a great solution, but sometimes there just aren't great solutions.

This is funny, it's like we just ignore how many kids growing up with a mom and a dad that are just completely dysfunctional and a "great solution"

I would def. predict that he simply reverses whatever action Obama took that forced nuns to place children with gay couples.

And yes, the morons who watch Modern Family will cry about it.

Which actions has he taken so far, in your opinion, that do not align with small-government principles?

It would be beyond stupid. Outside of the religious right, who the hell would even support this?

My theory is that this will be very pro-LGBT.

I think Trump is also going to announce a pro-life candidate to the supreme court and this EO will work to counteract that backlash. He could frame the discussion that less abortions could coincide with more adoptions, playing up the idea that all life, gay&straight, born&unborn, has tremendous value and should be treated with respect.

At least that's what I hope the play is. Sounds like a pretty damn strong platform to me.

Far far less, statistically, than in any other household type. You can ignore statistics if you wish.

This wouldn't have been leaked if so. This is going to be pro-LGBT. He is mind-fricking them at an astonishing rate.
