Please give some evidence to support your assertions of stripping away of rights.
Just for starters... Pence's record of opposition to gay rights as a member of Congress, is sure to be a threat to any member of the LGBT community. That should outrage anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Trump appointing Bannon, who freely publicly refers to lesbians as "dykes"? I could give many, many more examples...
Care to defend those I just mentioned?
Mike Love should not rope the brand name in to be associated with that garbage.
I love how there have been tumbleweeds as a response to this.
And while we're at it: http://www.politifact.com/new-york/statements/2016/aug/14/sean-patrick-maloney/donald-trump-against-same-sex-marriage/
A fact-checked collection of quotes saying that Trump opposes the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage and wants to leave it up to the individual states.
He may of course completely flip-flop on this, but he's repeatedly opposed gay marriage across fifteen years.
Of course, in a Beach Boys context, this wouldn't necessarily be a dealbreaker for Mike supporting Trump or not; after years of their own various contradictory interview comments, I figure none of the boys expect there to be any connection between what someone says and what they actually end up doing. :-)

Trump said after the election that same sex marriage is settled and he's fine with that. I don't think he would say something like that *after* the election if he felt otherwise.
All that may be true, but trying to tell an LGBT person that they are being "over-emotional" (as claimed by others earlier in this thread) after the ilk of Pence and Bannon are in da house is a bit rich, don't you think? And to keep it on topic, telling one of those folks to not have BIG issue with any celeb playing the inauguration is inane to the max.
Good to know that LGBT folk aren't indicative of people in a general sense. That's probably because they continue getting marginalized by the people like the VP-elect. Are they chopped liver? And how about Latinos and Muslims? I guess on the topic of being overly-emotional, that Mike is supremely overly-emotional about people not liking him. Everyone is just a big crybaby.
