Are terrified about what's going to happen under Trump. My guess is that "Emma" doesn't want any of those things to happen to her either but is oblivious to the fact that whatever Trump said or didn't say about LGBTQ persons during the campaign, he won't have our backs when Congress and statehouses go after LGBTQ persons. Hillary Clinton, like Barack Obama, definitely would have.
