Gay former Trump official shocked by Republican Party’s latest antiLGBTQ+ move
"“The Texas Republican Party bans Logcabin, the gay conservative group with 80 chapters across the US,” Grenell tweeted. “Texas is the only state that bans us from their state convention.”
It’s hard to understand how anyone could be surprised that the GOP isn’t very considerate of LGBTQ+ people. The party opposes same-sex marriage, saying that marriage is “between one man and one woman” in its current national platform. The party’s current leader – Donald Trump – mocks LGBTQ+ people at his speeches and spent years in the White House attacking LGBTQ+ rights. The Republican-controlled House has passed several anti-LGBTQ+ bills this year, bills that won’t become law because the Senate and the White House are controlled by Democrats.
The replies he received from his fellow conservatives were less than supportive, with many of them just being homophobic."
