US presidential Candidate Donald Trump says that if he becomes the president of America he'll protect gays and lesbians from violence. It's an overture to a group that doesn't often get mentioned during a speech at the Republican National Convention.
Trump is bemoaning the attack in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, that killed 49 people. He says the shooter was an "Islamic terrorist" who was driven by a "hateful foreign ideology."
Trump says he's going to prevent such attacks against the LGBTQ community. Trump's use of the phrase is notable for including the 'Q,' which stands for queer or questioning and is less common.
“Only weeks ago, in Orlando, Florida, 49 wonderful Americans were savagely murdered by an Islamic terrorist. This time, the terrorist targeted our LGBTQ community. No good. We’re gonna stop it,” Donald Trump says at GOP convention.
“As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology”
Following cheers from crowd, Trump says: “And as a Republican, I have to say it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said”
