Aaron Carter will no longer support Donald Trump if the Republican candidate does not support the LGBT community.

Last week, the 28-year-old pop singer made a bold endorsement for Trump via Twitter.

The tweet led to an outpouring of negative reaction with Carter claiming he even received death threats. Carter responded to the death threats in a video for WhereAreTheyNow.buzz and was adamant about his stance. “I’ve had fans send me death threats, tell me people are gonna shoot me, stab me with needles at my show,” Carter told WhereAreTheyNow.buzz. “But I don’t care because you ain’t gonna do nothing to me.” Now, it appears the pop star is no longer supporting Trump because of his LGBT equality views. In a tweeting frenzy, Carter says he won’t stand by Trump if he isn’t for the LGBT community.

Trump has never spoken outright against LGBT equality legislation, but has said he would think about appointing Supreme Court justices who would oppose marriage equality.
