Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump has told LGBTQ+ Republicans that he and other conservatives will be “fighting hard” for them during his 2024 presidential campaign. Trump is widely considered the most anti-LGBTQ+ president of all time.
Trump made his pledge at the “Spirit of Lincoln” 45th anniversary gala of the queer conservative group The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR).
The gala occurred just two days after current-President Joe Biden (D) signed the Respect for Marriage Act, a law requiring federal and state governments to recognize state-solemnized same-sex marriages.
During Trump’s speech at the gala, he said, “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard. With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here, is incredible.”
Trump has more recently referred to LGBTQ+ people as “sickos” who “support the perverted sexualization of minor children,” a line oft-repeated by anti-queer activists who inspire violent attacks on LGBTQ+ people, allies, and gender-affirming medical professionals.
During his speech at the gala, Log Cabin Republicans president Charles Moran said, “I just heard a Republican candidate for president stand up and say he is willing to fight and I challenge every other Republican to make the same pledge Donald Trump made tonight.”
