At least half of that enormous list of examples was not specific to transgender people. How much more evidence do you need? You keep saying that the right is beyond their homophobic past. You've just been given plenty of examples of things done by the current administration from the last three years that demonstrate the opposite. You somehow managed to hand-wave away the blatantly homophobic Vice President as somehow not representative of the right. Despite being a prime example of Republican 'values'. You've completely ignored last year's Pew poll where the majority of Republican voters did not support equal rights for gays (marriage).
Much of what you just said isn’t true or is misrepresented though, and yet for some reason you call me the troll. I said I’d read through that list Amused posted in greater detail later and that there probably were anti gay stuff in there, but you pretend that I didn’t. I said republicans don’t seem to be pushing for anti gay legislation from what I could tell, not that they were ok with homosexuality. This ties in with the comfort level post, they don’t like the idea of homosexuality but unless it’s maybe in Amuseds post and I’ll get to it later I don’t see legislation being pushed to restrict homosexual rights. I don’t really see Mike Pence being representative of the right, certainly not the younger members of the right. There’s a different forum I visit that is highly conservative and that’s my primary measuring stick as it’s the closest interaction I have with conservative politics otherwise and most of the guys there don’t agree with Pence's stance toward gays. And I don’t know that I’ve seen the Pew poll about gay rights, was that posted? Only poll thing I remember seeing was about "comfort" with the LGBT community (which also lumps in transgenderism).
So I think you may be misunderstanding me and what I’ve said and what my thoughts and positions are.
