Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te 2016 Republican National Convention
I kii a Donald Trump "Hei perehitini, ka mahia e au nga mea katoa e taea ana e au ki te tiaki i o taatau taangata LGBTQ, mai i te tutu me te tukino i nga whakaaro kino o nga iwi ke". I te huihuinga pakanga i te Oketopa 29, 2016, i mau a Trump i te Rainbow Flag i runga i te atamira i whakairihia "LGBT mo Trump". I te Noema 11, 2016, i tohua e Trump a Peter Theil ki te komiti whakahaere o tana roopu whakawhiti perehitini. I te Whiringa-a-rangi 13, 2016, i roto i te uiui ki a Lesley Stahl i runga i te "60 Minutes", i kii a Trump he pai ki a ia te whakatau a te Kooti Nui "Obergefell v. Hodges" ana kaore he mea nui mena i tautoko ia i te marena takirua takirua, kaore ranei, na te mea kua whakatauhia te ture. Ko nga whakataunga a Trump hei perehitini kua whakaarohia te pono o ana korero hei kaitono. I te Oketopa 13, 2017, ko Trump te perehitini tuatahi ki te korero ki te Values Voter Summit, he huihuinga a-tau e tautokohia ana e te Kaunihera Rangahau Whanau, e mohiotia ana mo tana whakahee i nga tika tangata LGBT.
