Trump will address anti-LGBT group on anniversary of Pulse shooting

Both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio will address a radical anti-LGBT event on the two month anniversary of the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando – and they’ll do it blocks away from where it happened.

“In attending this vehemently anti-LGBT event, Trump continues to show he is truly a danger to the LGBT community,” said Eliel Cruz, Executive Director of Faith In America. “He isn’t savvy enough to understand how he’s being manipulated by the organizers of this conference. It is reported organizers of the event want to ask Trump about how he plans to combat ‘homosexual totalitarianism.’ Trump will probably nod his head and say ‘yes’ to any anti-LGBT requests made at the conference as his campaign is driven by his ego and he’ll do anything, including courting the most anti-LGBT voices, to become president.”

Former presidential candidate Marco Rubio will also speak to the group. Rubio is currently running for the Senate and has been under fire for his decision to attend.

The “Rediscovering God in America” event is sponsored by the American Renewal Project, a group that advocates for pastors to run for political office and mobilize conservative Christians. The founder, David Lane, is well known for his outrageous and offensive statements about LGBT people.
