President Trump misses LGBTQ Pride Month — again
NBC News, Jun 1, 2018, Tim Fitzsimons

This year alone, President Donald Trump has recognized January as National Mentoring Month, March as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and April as Second Chance Month. He has already declared the month of June to be National Homeownership Month, National Ocean Month, Great Outdoors Month and National Caribbean-American Heritage Month.

But one proclamation is — once again — conspicuously absent from the White House website: LGBTQ Pride Month.

At the 2016 Republican National Convention, Trump noted the Pulse nightclub shooting and became the first GOP presidential nominee to directly address the LGBTQ community from a convention podium.

“As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology,” Trump said at the time.

He never said he'd give the LGBTQRSPONZTY community a month of recognition.   ^-^

There's a difference between 'protecting LGBTJKGIXUHG from violence and oppression of a hateful ideology' and agreeing to be the Grand Master of the Pride parade.

Only "protect" them from violence. Like a certain Jew who said to the crowd ..."He Without sin, cast the first stone.". To the depraved person he saved, he said. Then..."Go forth and sin no more."

Probably should have added a trigger warnin' to that post... what was I thinkin'  fishing8888

Actually, I never celebrated or recognized the LGB whatever month to begin with.  I recognize Holidays such as Christmas, Easter, New Year's, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran's Day and Memorial Day.  The rest of the new-fangled 'recognized' months and bogus holidays don't mean squat to me, so I really could care less.

   This does surprise me.
   Seeing him on a campaign stage with the gay Flag, I figured the Trump GOP had all but surrendered to their corrosive agenda. 
   I know he'll turn back for political expediency before his re election, if he decides to run again, but this has been refreshing so far, some what.

Hats are the most popular giveaways for the teams.

Rainbow-colored hats are the giveaway of choice for 11 Major League Baseball teams that have LGBT Pride games this season.

The Blue Jays, Braves, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Orioles, Padres, Pirates, Rays, Reds,Marlins and Twins are all giving Pride hats to people who buy a ticket to their game. This is the first year the Reds are having a Pride night.

The Brewers, Cardinals and Dodgers have shirts with a rainbow theme, the Athletics and Mariners have wearable Pride flags and the Giants have a backpack. The other seven teams with Pride nights have not specified what, if any, their giveaway will be. ... Rest of story

My former favorite team.  **nononono*

Bill Clinton reneged on some promise to the 'gay community.' So he was speaking to some group when one gay guy began berating him for that. The gay guy ended with, "Slick...Willie!"

If there's a video clip of that then it's worth watching for the laugh.

Congrats, @corbe   The only problem is that you are not physically or mentally capable of posting anything even slightly favorable to Trump without the "so far, some what."

What is wrong with a little caution?  Last year directly after inauguration homosexuality was celebrated by the Trump administration in full.  Gay month and celebrations in the Pentagon.  It was an open display of Trump waving his gay flag on stage.  And former Sec. of State Rex Tillerson and the Boy Scout gay agenda.

I am taking a pleasantly surprised, but cautious approach also. 

Note:  Donald Trump did not recognize gay pride month last year.  But it was celebrated by Rex Tillerson and the Pentagon.

The second it gets more appreciative than cautious @Chosen Daughter, I will wrest that cup I gave @corbe from his grimy hands and give it to you.
