Gays For Trump to March on Washington

By Jeff Taylor · Friday, March 3, 2017

After the Women’s March on Washington, everyone is eager to take the idea and make it their own. Scientists will have their turn on April 22, and there is a National Pride March planned for June 11 for the LGBTQ community to tell President Trump that we will not go backwards.

Now another group of gays is planning to descend on Washington, but they are a distinctly different brand altogether, because they, for some reason, still support Trump, the guy who appointed the staunchly anti-LGBTQ Cabinet, supports the First Amendment Defense Act that would take away our rights, and who won’t stand up for transgender students.

The North Carolina based Gays For Trump group, lead by Peter Boykin, plan to rally at the Washington Monument on Saturday at noon, before marching to the White House, reports the Washington Blade.

“It is for everybody but you will see a lot of rainbow flags,” Boykin said. “D.C.-area Gays for Trump will definitely be attending.” Boykin said similar marches will take place on the same day in other cities, including Virginia Beach, Va.; Raleigh, N.C.; Las Vegas and Reno, Nev.; Berkeley, Calif.; and New York City.

a single picnic table will seat the expected March turnout with enough space to sit the "Jews for Bannon" support group that will also be marching on Saturday.

Wouldn't that be similar to "Jews for Hitler"? Sorry, but I can't get my head around this.
