The Republican presidential nominee was overheard bragging about philandering and sexual abuse, and LGBT Americans took to social media to respond.
Donald Trump's latest, filthiest -- and possibly most overtly sexist -- scandal broke today, as a 2005 recording of a private conversation he had with then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush (now with Today) was leaked. In the recording, Trump can be heard crassly admitting to making moves on a married woman as well as bragging about being able to get away with grabbing women "by the pussy" because he's a star. LGBT Twitter had some things to say. (RELATED: Trump's Most Sexist Moments During the Presidential Campaign)
