>>I don't think Trump himself is particularly anti-LGBT, but Pence is.

Well, most previous POTUS and the other candidate this time was against gay marriage as recently as 2010. It doesn't matter: unless your belief is that Pence can trump everybody else including the Supreme Court to enforce his beliefs, it's a big "so what" surely. Certainly it doesn't justify the lying going on out there that Trump is anti-LGBT.

My own take is that "marriage" is a religious concept absorbed in history by secular state that granted privileges to support the family as they understood that term. Now that there are other sorts of family, the proper response is to uncouple "marriage" from the state so religious folk can keep it, and grant equal privileges under law by some other term if needed. E.g. defining "family" inclusively with all the privileges currently attached to marriage, is unlikely to draw opposition. Whereas you can predict a clash if people try to redefine a religious term to mean something different, especially when it's not actually needed to achieve the claimed goal- unless people are trying to create a furor and force others to change, of course.

Next comes the accusation of racism. What's the bet that's another lie promulgated by the Media Party as well.

And then there's the anti-woman accusation, ironically based on potty-mouthed boasting that he is more energetic(?!) with women than anybody else.

Can I make a suggestion? I suggest that out there in suburbia, women thought about Trump and his boasts and concluded you can handle sleazy gropers the same way women always have, by standing a bit further away and covering yourself when you bend over. Yes it's yuck, but it's easily avoided yuck. Now, what about getting food on the table, and how about food on the table for the black families and white ferals down the road where "the devil makes work for idle hands" is proven every day.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
