"Donald Trump would be the most pro-gay nominee the Republican Party has ever had," said Gregory T. Angelo, president of Log Cabin Republicans.

This is kind of a weird year for LGBTQ Republicans. On gay, lesbian and transgender issues, a lot of them are pretty hopeful about their nominee, but they hate their party platform.

"Ask the gays what they think and what they do, and then you tell me, who's your friend, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?" Trump said.
