Protest of Donald Trump outside Trump Towers

From the Huffington Post:

Supporters of LGBT, Muslim, and Latino rights gathered outside Trump Towers in New York to protest the presumptive Republican nominee. “Donald Trump continues to advocate discrimination against peaceful [M]uslims while meeting with anti-gay and anti-transgender hate groups,” gay rights group ACTUP said Tuesday.

The group also criticized the former reality TV star’s “use of the recent massacre at a gay bar in Orlando to polarize Americans.” Advocates organized a “die in,” where protesters laid on the ground and simulated corpses, to speak out against recent acts anti-gay acts of violence.
