ya but the thing is,
it wasn't a muslim ban, u can call it that but it wasn't. It was TEMPORARY ban on countries who made a list: Most likely to support/ have Islamic extremist (ISIS). So it was the top 7 countries on that list, where there was a high number of refugees, and a known way where extremist were infiltrating Europe and other western countries. It was done for national security reasons, nothing more. You should honestly be thankful that a president would take action to protect you.
If it was "Muslim Ban", then why were countries like Indonesia left off the list? Where the population is majority Muslim. Because it wasn't a muslim ban, and a action taken for national security. simple answer.
Again, facts are irrelevant when dealing with supporters of the current POTUS. The ban was put in place by executive order. It temporarily banned travel from 7 Muslim majority countries, all of which made no fucking sense. The ones where attacks had come from in the past have oil and because of that, they were not banned lol. You can dance around it all you fucking want, but it was put in place to keep Muslims out of the country. It was an idiotic show of power and a gimmick to make his nutjob base LOVE HIM for disparaging against brown people. Again, banning countries for no reason other than the religious majority within those countries is against the constitution. You can keep lying to yourself all you want, but please explain to me why only Muslim countries that have no major monetary impacts on the US were banned, even though the ones with monetary ties posed much more of a threat than the ones he banned....
Again, this is just one example. I'm sure you're also fine with his admitted collusion with a foreign government to win an election but hey, there's no evidence other than him and his lawyers admitting to it.....

Gays are represented in Hollywood at about triple the rate they occur in reality
You sure about that? Less than 5% of Hollywood movies feature LGBT members in them and last I checked, movies have more than one person in them. As 5% of all people in the United States fall in the LGBT category, the representation of LGBT in Hollywood is far less than in reality.
I don't give a shit one way or the other. We'll probably see an increase and it'll eventually be disproportionate to reality, but it's not and it hasn't been and all people's bitching about something that isn't even true is what gives these movements power.
People just need to get the fuck over shit that doesn't matter. It does not mater if gay people are in movies and it's absolutely fucking insane that it's even a conversation.
e: The FARRRR left complaining that there needs to be LGBT representation in 20% of all movies is absolutely fucking insane, but again, it's people that say shit like what you just did, that give these movements momentum.
