A gay couple who attended a rally for Donald Trump in Cincinnati, Ohio this week identified the economy as one of the main reasons why they're voting for the Republican nominee this election.

"I'm tired of the bullshit government," one of the men said.

"I work in the steel industry and I see it hardcore with the trades and stuff. It's time for a change, [and] Trump's the man for it."

His boyfriend added: "Plus I really feel like he would bring more jobs to the country. The system and everything could be a hell of a lot better."

The couple, who said they have "a lot of gay friends that support Trump," also said they felt perfectly comfortable showing affection in the middle of the crowd.

"Nobody's saying anything about it," they said.

"No one's stopped us or done anything, so it's pretty good."
