Everyone is desperate for a win. Conservatives are hurting, and they need to be validated. Trump gives them that. They would blindly worship anyone who gave them that validation.
The old testament says a lot of things (in ARAMAIC) that have been translated by fallible human hands a hundred times with implicit bias. It's a game of telephone that's been going for thousands of years. It didn't mean "gay people are bad".
