Prospects for a Trump Victory and What it Means For Us

What would a Trump presidency mean for the LGBT community? Impossible to tell. Trump is more of a political opportunist than any candidate in recent memory. I fully believe him capable of supporting oppressive policies regarding bathroom use and discrimination if he thought it met his political ends. However, he is equally capable of suddenly seizing the standard of LGBT rights if that helped him shore up his popularity. Watching him and listening, I conclude he has no genuine caring about what happens to us, good or bad. True, Clinton also experienced an evolution of her views on same-sex marriage, but I see strong signs that she deeply cares about human rights.
