      Their views and feelings( and lack of them) are racist. It is a part of living in a racist society.

      Firstly, sexual orientation is not a race, and therefore not racism.

      thanks but that's not what I'm speaking about. I'm talking about racism. Good old racism is what it is

      I'm confused. We were talking about LGBT and the GOP. There are racists in both parties. Trumpkins disproportionately.

      The non Trumpkin wing, absolutelt. Ryan, Rubio, the Bushes, almost every decent elected GOP. Correct. Not racists.

      Pretty sure there is a revolt called Never Trump with no issues calling out racism when they see it.

      i call on you to read about racism. I suggest "Blood done sign my name" by Timothy Tyson. It will expand views

      The real GOP has moved on, just as the Democrat party mostly has, minus the identity politics component.

      That's why a majority of Republicans are birthers & GOP supports policies to make it harder for blacks to vote.

          Again, I concede there are racists, and some like Trump who aren't but play to racists.

          But the vast majority of GOP elected officials are not and have serious policy proposals.
