I thought Trump was the most LGBT-friendly Republican ever?

You don't get to march around all pious like, telling people what they should or should not being doing, or what is right or wrong, judging them, when you don't even stick to your own principles yourself and sell out entirely when you think someone - anyone can deliver on your political agenda.

Kinda like the House of Saud, then?

Anyway, the Religious Right has always been a political movement, not a religious one (see: the 1980 presidential election) - although that's not entirely fair to the charismatic, manipulative, abusive megalomaniacs and hucksters who make up the "Prosperity Gospel" movement.  I suppose that they can be considered a sort of religion, to the extent that modern American cults in general are religions.

Note that many of these men - and they are mostly men - are serial womanizers (or worse) and embezzlers themselves, and project a domineering "alpha male" (read: bullying a--hole) image. Is it any coincidence that the Prosperity Gospel types were Trump's largest base of early political support among evangelicals?

Birds of a feather...

Why should laws be made on the basis of the Bible again?
