Unlike any previous Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump is casting himself as a champion of gay rights as he seeks to outflank Democrat Hillary Clinton’s response to the massacre at an Orlando nightclub.
Mr. Trump suggests he is a better friend to the gay community than Mrs. Clinton because his proposed ban on Muslim immigrants would block antigay Islamic extremists. The suspected shooter at the gay nightclub was born in New York to Afghan immigrants, and investigators are probing reports he used gay dating services.
“Thank you to the LGBT community!” Mr. Trump posted on Twitter on Tuesday, two days after the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, referring to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. “I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs.”
In an interview Tuesday on Fox News, Mr. Trump referred to Islamic State fighters throwing men they think are gay off tall buildings. “I’m much better for gays,” Mr. Trump said, comparing himself with Mrs. Clinton.
