Cher warns that Donald Trump will ‘turn back every clock’ on LGBT rights – WATCH
By Will Stroude
Cher gave some sobering words about Donald Trump, and the threat he poses to the LGBT community on Sunday (August 21).
The singer was speaking at a private rally for Democratic presidential candidate Hilary Clinton in Provincetown, Massachusetts, when she warned audience members that LGBT people will be “totally screwed” by Trump, who recently donated $100,000 to an anti-LGBT church.
“I’m here for multiple reasons,” Cher said. “But I’m here one out of love and one out of fear. Because I’m so frightened for what’s going to happen to this particular community. I know there’s going to be other people, other minorities that are going to be totally screwed as well, but I honestly fear for your safety.”
“I fear for you because I know what they will try to do – they [Trump and Pence] will try to turn back every clock, they will try to take back every one of your rights.
“He doesn’t mean we want to ‘Make America Great Again.’ He means: ‘We want to make America straight and white’.”
Summing up, she said “I just think he’s a f***ing idiot. I just wish he would fall off the face of the Earth.”
