For me it's watching a gay man grovel at the feet of one of the most anti-LGBT politicians, a day after Trump signed multiple executive orders that dehumanized Altman and the LGBT community. Every token thinks they're special until they're spent.

What is he so anti about? He is against adding other official genders than the biological ones we have at birth. But he isn't against people wanting to be called whatever they want in informal situations. And he is against trans surgery at young ages when children aren't fully grown and adult enough to make such drastic interventions. But he is not against adult people wanting to be whatever they want.

Besides what ImJamal said, as a wealthy playboy man-about-town hanging out at Studio 54 in the '70s and '80s, I guarantee Trump has known and been friends with more gays than 95% of Americans. Certainly there has been no shortage of gay people among his top-level appointees in either his first or second administrations.

Trump was the first president to come into office supporting gay marriage. Trump only has a problem with the "t" part of the community and only in bathrooms and sports, not in general.
