Donald Trump has brought a serious matter center stage which no American politician
has ever done. Not Carter, Reagan, Bush-41,Clinton, Bush-43 or Obama.
Ever since the gay movement became a political force several decades back fighting for
the same rights all other American have our nation has only addressed 'gay rights' within
our borders, ignoring that around the world gays are treated unfairly, jailed and even
murdered.
Yet, what have we done?
We may have 'polite conversations' with leaders of countries that consider homosexuality
a crime, often harshly punished. But this does nothing to help gays in these countries.
Such talk is 'filler' for public consumption, and does not seriously address the issue.
This election year that all may be changing, thanks to Donald Trump who has brought
the issue center stage.
While national media is fixated and openly opposed to North Carolina passing legislation
that only individuals of the same sex are allowed to use designated rest rooms and similar
facilities, the real threat to gays are ignored.
LGBT organizations publicly protested the law, entertainers have canceled appearances
in NC and media has been saying this is an affront that must end. Yet, no outcry comes
from the LGBT community, politicians and the media when gay men are tossed from
roof tops in Iran or beheaded by ISIS?
Where is the demand by our UN ambassador on the floor of the United Nations no member
nation should discriminate as many of the Arab states currently do? Where are the sanctions
against these nations as there were against South Africa for it discrimination against Blacks?
The answer is plain for all the see, there was none than, and there is none now!
Our country has no trouble accepting human rights abuses by our trading partners, has for
years and will continue to do so unless the LGBT make their protest go beyond our borders
and on the world stage.
Unlike Hillary Clinton who has claimed when speaking of the LGBT community, "I am one
of you". But, don't expect Hillary to join Trump, as she remains in the pocket of the
Saudis who have given her more than $20 million. Donald Trump could be the one person who
can do this.
