‘The View: Joy Behar Predicts Trump Will Try to Kill Gay Marriage Rights (VIDEO)
Sex and the City and And Just Like That… star Mario Cantone was the featured guest on Friday’s (June 20) edition of The View, and he had a message to share with fellow members of the LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month.
“My message is just, ‘Get your rock climbing gear on and keep climbing that rocky mountain. ‘Cause they are just continuously trying to drag us down — especially this administration,” he said. “You’ve got to be a bulldozer and just keep going. You’ve gotta keep going. That’s all you can do.”
He also shared a more chippy message for younger generations, saying, “By the way, to the young LGBTQIA-ers, know this: You didn’t invent gay. There’s so much stuff that came before you. Ask questions, be respectful to your elders, and know that as a youngin, it’s much better to be interested than interesting, as Jane Fonda would say… I’ve been doing this for years, the fight, the jobs I’ve lost over this in the ’80s, people [were] like lepers.”
Joy Behar then weighed in and said, “Now, it’s getting a little scary… They’ll take away marriage rights… They’re going to try.”
“I know,” he agreed. “They’re going to do that, and they’re taking away trans rights… It’s like, what is it to you? What are we doing that’s bothering you? It’s mind blowing.”
“People do not mind their own business, that’s the problem,” Behar said.
The actor went on to detail his thoughts on the history of LGBTQ+ rights in America, saying, “In the ’70s, we were really making strides. I’m old. In the ’70s, we were making strides over a lot of movies about gay people, TV movies. I mean, it was just, it was moving on, and then AIDS happened, and it slapped it back about 40 years. And ever since then, it’s been like this.”
“So maybe the people [should] be out on the street,” Behar offered.
“Yeah. ‘No Kings’ is right,” he responded, referring to the previous weekend’s anti-Trump protests all around the country. “I don’t want any kings. I just want to see queens.”

I wonder if these absolute Idiots even realize that President Trump appointed a gay man who is married to another man to a key position in his cabinet ? By the way the man Trump appointed used to be a Democrat !! 🙄

Be Assured the Liberal Ladies of The Spew and Most other Lib Dems and Some RINOS will be on full attack against President Trump for taking out the nuke sites in Iran. But most Reasonable and Sane people know or Should know that there is No negotiating with the Iranian Regime. These people are insane fanatics. NOT talking about the typical Iranian citizen. I’m talking about the so called Supreme Leader and his Regime. President Trump tried Very hard to negotiate peace with this Death Cult. But all they did was chant Death to Israel and Dearh to America !! Hopefully the people of Iran will rise up and tear down the evil regime !! President Trump had No Other Choices as the Iran Regime was only days or maybe weeks away from having Nuke Weapons which they would Gladly use against our great Ally Israel then against America !!This was a Must Do !! But it gives the Lib Dems and RINOS free shots of propaganda at our President. President Trump had a very tough call to make and he made it !!

If it's in Project 2025, he'll do it. The overgrown orange man-baby likes to think he's in charge, but his handlers tell him "what he thinks" and he goes from there.

No you’re obviously confused. It was Biden who had handlers. Biden’s people had to tell him where he was at most of the time he didn’t know. All he did know was what time was Ice Cream time !! 🤣🤣

With respect, gay is an orientation, not a preference. It's not a choice. I don't know about trans.

Being gay Is a choice hence a preference. No one is born gay and certainly not trans. Using the word orientation makes me think of the word indoctrination. In both cases another person would have to orient you or indoctrinate you.
