Vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine dismissed Donald Trump's attempts to court the LGBT community in his address at the Human Rights Campaign dinner Saturday night.

"Donald Trump is no friend to this community and he's no friend to the value of equality," Kaine said.

The Virginia senator asked the crowd if they believed Trump when he said he would support "the gays," to loud shouts of "No!"

Kaine also took shots at Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, and his role in passing a "religious freedom" law in his state that effectively allowed businesses to discriminate against gay people.

I think the role of Mike Pence should be highlighted, since he has been openly hostile to the LGBT community.
