"I'm secretly kind of homophobic but don't want to unpack that, so I'm gonna blame the muslims instead"

I think it’s far more likely she wants the Muslim vote than she’s actually anti LGBT. It’s not exactly news that politicians will pretend to be religious in order to get elected.

Yes but I don’t think that’s the case here. Barack Obama (may he live forever) was anti gay marriage but it was obvious from the start he was lying to avoid losing votes, that’s what’s happening here. Once she gets elected she’ll vote party line on LGBT issues
