We have one here, I'm not sure if they would agree with lgbt issues. Don't get me wrong 4 is a good start, but really what is the impact?

I don't know if the majority of TRT Holdings income is from Gold's Gym or not. I imagine that most of the income they get from GG comes from franchise fee's rather than directly from membership fees. Of course, that is paid to the franchise via membership fees at the local level.
My issue with the whole thing is this implication that he doesn't have the right to support who ever and what ever he wants to support. The donation was not made in the company's name. It's very different from Target making a corporate donation to a right wing group but the media is comparing the two and people are all up in arms about it.
