Donald Trump's latest, filthiest -- and possibly most overtly sexist -- scandal broke today, as a 2005 recording of a private conversation he had with then-Access Hollywood host Billy Bush (now with Today) was leaked.

LGBT Twitter had some things to say. (RELATED: Trump's Most Sexist Moments During the Presidential Campaign)

"Grab her by the pussy" is the new "nuked the fridge" is the new "jumped the shark" and now I wanna die.
