Gays Against Groomers Official Resigns Over DeSantis Ad
"An official with the conservative group Gays Against Groomers (GAG) is stepping down from his board position over revelations that the founder of the group has ties to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
David Leatherwood announced his resignation from the board and his withdrawal from the organization on Wednesday, saying that he left on "good terms" and that he would "always" support the group's mission. GAG, which describes itself as an "organization of gay people who oppose the recent trend of indoctrinating, sexualizing and medicalizing children under the guise of 'LGBTQIA+,'" has been accused by critics of peddling homophobia and transphobia.
Leatherwood's departure comes three days after transgender Republican Caitlyn Jenner informed him over Twitter that GAG's founder, Jaimee Michell, is "on payroll for De[S]antis and so vitriolicly anti-[T]rump." When Jenner confronted Leatherwood on the social media platform, suggesting that he omitted "highly relevant" information, Leatherwood admitted that his resignation was "directly related to [GAG] Founder's outspoken support for DeSantis, in light of his recent ad that is extremely anti-gay.""
