I thought as christians, we are all sinners?
She asked for mercy for people that are scared. And they are rightfully scared based on the things Trumps has said he would do and has already done.
If they are illegal immigrants they are scared because they broke the law and entered the country illegally....also not sure why people should be that scared to be sent home to their own countries...but ok
If they are scared because they are LGBTQ then its a ridiculous thing to even say or feel.
Trump is actually one of the more pro-LGBTQ Republican Presidents we have had. He has never said anything bad about gays, has no personal moral problems with homosexuality, and only said that biological men and biological women should be defined as law. (something that was normal until the day before yesterday and something the vast majority of the American people believe in)
My issues wasn't with illegal immigrants. Yes, they are scared, but yes, they broke the law and should have known this might be coming.
LGBTQ people have not broken any laws. You can say they broke laws against christianity, and that's fine, but we are a secular state. Trump is one of the more pro-LGBTQ republican presidents, but he has made it very clear he is going to pass a lot of laws and executive orders that strips away some of their rights and protections. Some of them I think are reasonable (no trans athletes playing in womens' sports or no gender affirming care for minors as an example), but some will limit their civil rights protections, and those on those issues, the president of the United State of America should have mercy on the people that it will impact. It's still to be seen if he follows through with those, but many in the LGBTQ community are afraid based on what he has said he will do.
