Mel Gibson supported Trump’s idea to ban LGBT+ symbols in U.S. schools

Many Hollywood stars celebrated Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential elections, and among them was Mel Gibson, who has openly expressed his sympathies for the Republican Party. The actor was one of the first to support Trump’s idea of banning LGBT+ symbols in U.S. schools.

Trump conducted a poll on the social media platform X, asking whether LGBT+ flags and symbols from the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement should be banned in U.S. schools. The post quickly garnered attention, with Mel Gibson being the first to respond. The star of *What Women Want* commented, “As soon as possible.”

The 78-year-old Republican Trump defeated Democrat Kamala Harris to win the presidency. His inauguration will take place on January 20, 2025, at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

However, not all celebrities in the U.S. supported Trump’s victory. Some were disheartened by the results, including singer Billie Eilish, who was visibly emotional and teary-eyed during a concert in response to the election outcome.

(Note: The abbreviation «LGBT» stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, and the reference to the *extremist* designation is specific to Russia, where the LGBT movement is legally banned.)
