We feel absolutely sick. That evil, orange Oompa Loompa is back at the podium and spewing even more hate than ever. For a man that once tried to convince the LGBTQ+ community he was an ally (unsuccessfully) by dangling around a pride flag and having his daughter do a pride speech – our stomach just prepared itself to make a dhiarrea. Trump took the podium for a bizarre speech where he made up stories about trans women with 30-foot-long arms and described LGBTQ+ people as “sickos who are pushing sexual content in kindergartens: [via queerty]
“Federal, state, and local government should aggressively enforce existing statutes to stop the perverted sexualization of minor children,” he said. “You have the statutes.”
The “sexualization of children” is a phrase that the right has been using this past year to refer to any discussion of LGBTQ identities and children. The expression has been applied to discussing LGBTQ people in school or having LGBTQ books like And Tango Makes Three – which is about a baby penguin with two dads – available in school libraries.
It also gets used when supportive parents who don’t force their children to follow gender rules around clothing, or parents who support their transgender kids’ identities.
“The society that refuses to protect its children is a society that soon will not be able to protect anybody,” Trump said. “This is a hallmark of cultural and social decay against which we should fight back very hard and very soon we don’t have time to wait years to do this.”
“The sickos who are pushing sexual content in kindergartens or providing puberty blockers to young children who have no idea what a puberty blocker is – neither do I, by the way, neither do most of the people in the audience as you smile,” he said. While he was at least honest about not knowing anything about health care for transgender youth, he took a strong stance against it.
“Let’s just say they’re not good – are not just engaged in acts of depravity in many cases they are breaking the law and they should be held fully accountable,” he said.“By the way, we should not allow men to play in women’s sports. So crazy,” he said.
Find his full, hate-filled speech after the jump. If you are LGBTQ+, OR cis for that matter, and still supporting this fascist loser, you really need take a long hard look in the mirror.
