A gay man says he lost 90% of his LGBT friends when he expressed his support for Donald Trump. LGBT for Trump campaigner, Chris Mulvihill, 45, argues the President has done nothing to harm the rights of LGBTQ Americans but says most of his gay friends nonetheless find his views unforgivable as he prepares to vote Trump again at the November 3 presidential election.

Chris, from Chicago, Illinois, voted in a presidential election for the first time in 2016 and voted for Donald Trump, citing the Presidents love for America. He says Trumps focus on American values and the US economy are his main reasons for becoming a devoted Republican a conservative, Christianity-focused party not always known for its LGBT-friendliness.

Chris said: They saw a lot of propaganda about Trump being anti-gay but I can see that Trump is not against gay people. People are very unfair with their views and I was made to feel like I should vote a certain way because I am gay. After I voted for Trump in 2016 and came out as one of his supporters I lost 90% of my friends, they found it unforgivable.

My support for Trump eroded friendships, a lot of people have an unhinged hatred for him and they cant accept my views. I dont even feel like a part of the gay community anymore. I dont want to be seen as a gay person, I want to be judged as just a person.

He added that he avoided voting until the age of 41, in 2016, because he was disengaged with politics and didnt care. Four years later and in the run-up to this years hugely anticipated election, Chris proudly parades the streets wearing a LGBT for Trump T-shirt on the campaign trail, urging more gay Americans to feel to stop seeing President Trump as evil.

Chris, who works as an IT consultant, said: I voted in an election for the first time in my life in 2016, and I voted for Trump. My friends saw him as evil and thought I shouldnt support him as a gay man I dont like that people use the fact that I am gay to judge me or my views. Chris, who is engaged to 27-year-old Jack Hartman, also a Trump supporter, argues that President Trump has been used as an anti-gay scapegoat by the media and Democrat Party supporters in a bid to cover up the reality of the Presidents successes.

Whilst he confesses he cant recall what Donald Trump has done to benefit the gay community, Chris said he believes the 74-year-old has not nothing to harm the rights of gay Americans either. His comments come four months after the Supreme Court ruled on a decision to provide workplace protections for gay and transgender people.

But it came under the leadership of a president who has overseen the Justice Departments move to end protections for transgender people in federal prisons and a ban on transgender servicemen and women in the military. Meanwhile, last month the Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed allowing homeless shelters the option to deny transgender people access to single-sex shelters. And this month, the Education Departments office of civil rights publicly moved to block transgender girls from joining female track squads in Connecticut high schools. But Mr Trump has been hailed as the most pro-gay president in American history by top White House aide Richard Grenell. Earlier this month Grenell became the first openly gay person to serve at a Cabinet-level in the US when he was nominated as acting Director of National Intelligence by the President.

Trump said he didnt support gay marriage while campaigning to become president, but then said he had no problem with same-sex unions after being elected. He has twice tweeted in support of LGBT pride month, and wrote a glowing blog supporting Sir Elton Johns civil partnership to David Furnish when the couple wed in 2005. He did however became the first republican presidential nominee to ever mention supporting LGBT rights at a 2016 campaign event, claiming hed offer gay Americans better protection from violence than his Democrat rival, Hillary Clinton. Chris and Jack attend car parades in their 4x4 which is decorated in pro-Trump stickers and flags Chris and Jack attend car parades in their 44 which is decorated in pro-Trump stickers and flags Since he (Donald Trump) came into the White House he has promoted gay marriage and he has also appointed two homosexual men into his cabinet, said Chris. He added: The main reasons Ill be voting for Trump again is because he is for America.

The left seem to hate our country and our constitution, whereas Trump loves our country. The economy has done very well under Trump too, thats been a big thing for him all along. And I think Trump has done fine with how he has handled coronavirus, he has done what he had to do. Some people dont like how he calls it the China virus but it did come from China. He says it to get a reaction and I enjoy that immensely. I think hes got a great sense of humour, too.

Chris is open about his support for the president and enjoys attending Republican Party rallies in Illinois, he said. Earlier this week Chris and Jack attended a car parade and attended in a decorative 44, which they have kitted out in LGBT for Trump flags and stickers. But Chris has said it took him a while to feel confident enough to show his support for the Make America Great Again (MAGA) campaign publicly, and even feared being attacked because of his political allegiance.

Chris said: I was afraid of violence to begin with and it got to the point where I was scared Id get attacked for wearing a Trump T-shirt. I was afraid of expressing my support for him in public. I am one of the only gay people I know who supports Trump. Gays are embarrassed to show their support and fear theyll be attacked for not toeing the line with what other people want.

Not what "Successes" Trump has had that the media is ignoring... But there's some real irony in an LGBT group turning on their friends and ostracizing/mistreating them for being different and a minority.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees

Theres actually no irony in an LGBT group turning on someone who supports a president who is actively working against the civil rights of the LGBT community.

Erm yes?

Otherwise you're just going to declare everything you don't like as 'nonacceptance'

"I don't hate gays, I just disowned my son because of his nonacceptance of his hetrosexuality."

I mean what? 100+ million people in the US support Trump, about 1/3rd of the population. Are they all gay hatin' bigots or are they just people with different political idealogies....and some gay hating bigots?

Even if they don't themselves harbor any bigotry or hatred against minority groups, they are enabling the continuation of racist and sexist policies and encouraging people to share these perspectives in public by supporting someone like Trump.

But don't you think it's bad form for a group that will suffer from people "Choosing not to engage" with them their entire lives to turn around and so the samething?

I'd say hating someone for being Republican is no less absurd than hating someone for having sex with a man. They're both dumb reasons to hate someone.

Except you can't really compare being a member of a political association (entirely free will dependent on your own personal values and choices) and having a specific sexual orientation (which is not something people choose).

I agree they're not the same thing.

But I wasn't saying they were, I was saying they were absurd things to hate someone over.

Hating someone for having black hair and hating someone for wearing a black shirt is absurd too. That's also choice vs nature.

You'd think people who promote tolerance and are used to abuse would be the first to comprehend that rather than reciprocate it

Trump has rolled back protections for LGBT people at every chance he's gotten, in employment, healthcare, education etc.

He's appointed anti gay judges

He straight up banned trans folks from the military

As a black person, I wouldn't interact with a black person who was in favor or repealing the Civil Rights Act or the Voting Rights Act. That's not hypocrisy, that's basic self respect.

None of you people hand wringing would tolerate a white dude that was fine with taking away rights from white dudes.

basically that

: The main reasons Ill be voting for Trump again is because he is for America.

The left seem to hate our country and our constitution, whereas Trump loves our country. The economy has done very well under Trump too, thats been a big thing for him all along. And I think Trump has done fine with how he has handled coronavirus, he has done what he had to do. Some people dont like how he calls it the China virus but it did come from China. He says it to get a reaction and I enjoy that immensely. I think hes got a great sense of humour, too.
