Peter Boykin (Washington Blade/Lou Chibbaro via National LGBT Media Association)
Gays for Trump founder Peter Boykin is running for the North Carolina Legislature. He has no opposition in the Republican primary in a heavily Democratic district in Greensboro, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Boykin made news last week with controversial comments in the Daily Beast about the transgender community, supporting Trumps transgender military ban.
He said transgender are mentally challenged and would be our weakest link.
People already have enough problems with PTSD, I dont think its a good idea to give someone going through that type of change a weapon, he said in the interview. They might snap and turn it on their fellow soldiers.

(1,188 posts)3. Gays who support repugs are totally repugnant to me.
I had a neighbor who referred commented about the gay republicans who lived across from him and Log Cabin Republicans as "like being Jewish Strom Troopers." That's pretty clear and succinct, I'd say.
This creep will lose the general election and blame it on who? Democrats? Gays? Transgender people? Repugs are never at fault themselves...
