    Well, that didn't take long. I had a feeling that this was where Trump would be start to peel away whatever LGBT protections Obama had put into place.

    And I'm sure there's going to be more, where this came from. With Sessions in the Justice department, I can hardly see him doing anything to help LGBT people.

    As hard as the Trump era is going to be on LGBT people, I think the 'T' community is going to be dealt the harshest blows. But as the whole 'religious freedoms' thing blows up, I think we'll see a collapse of other rights, across the LGBT spectrum.

    This sucks. I wish the government would just leave transgender people alone!

    Caitlyn is a media whore and outside of spreading initial awareness about the trans community she has been useless and her support of this man sickens me.

    I cannot say that I am surprised by this. It really just gives me more fuel to be out there and trying to help those affected by this.
