Since President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding win on election night, we’ve seen nothing short of a full-blown, fear-driven meltdown from LGBT influencers about the very future of our community. 

Videos of LGBT Americans sobbing or screaming about their rights about to be taken away have gone viral over social media. One graphic provocatively states, “If you don’t know why your gay friend is worried right now, you don’t have a gay friend,” presumptuously assuming that unless straight Americans share in the LGBT panic, they can’t claim to support them. Trump-supporting friends or family have been declared canceled. A recent CBS story quoted LGBT voters who view Trump’s election as a “tangible affront to their basic human rights.”
