Following the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, unity was expected to be the hallmark of the Republican National Convention for the presidential candidate.
"I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America," Trump said.
But the message of unity rings hollow for some in the LGBTQ community, who say they have repeatedly been the target of Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee, and others on the national stage.
"It can be difficult to stay hopeful when anti-LGBTQ sentiment comes to town," said the LGBTQ group Fair Wisconsin in a post on X. It continued, "But Fair Wisconsin knows that this sentiment is not who we are. The majority of Wisconsinites support the rights of LGBTQ+ people, and with fair maps for the first time in over a decade, we’re hopeful about the opportunity to shift the tide on anti-LGBTQ+ legislation."
There has been a record number of bills targeting the LGBTQ community in state legislatures across the country -- including transgender youth care bans, restrictions on drag shows, and more -- topping more than 500 bills nationwide so far in 2024, according to the ACLU.
This comes as LGBTQ people, particularly transgender people, face higher rates of violent victimization, discrimination and bullying, according to the CDC and the Williams Institute.
Still, several RNC speakers, including Trump, openly and continuously took jabs at transgender and nonbinary people throughout the convention.

I just saw “ABC News / Disney” — figures.
Hey alphabet people! You’re mentally ill, perverted deviants, and despite your successes in woke marxist education system grooming of our vulnerable youth, the natural fact is you’re STILL only about one percent of the population.
Crawl back under the rock from whence you came. We sorely need to put this ungodly perversion BACK to what it used to be: “the (spit) ‘love’ that must not be named”.
To the alphabet community: Do whatever you want in the privacy of your home or at adult venues. I don’t want drag queen story hours (or hetereosexual male or female stripped story hours) for kids. I don’t want elementary schools talking to kids about sex of any type.
Back in the day, we were told what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their home is their own business. Agreed. But it hasn’t been kept in homes. I don’t want to see gay or heterosexual people parading nude at public functions.
You forgot 2S (”two spirit”). Whatever the hell that is.
Ignore the insufferable fools and perverts. They will NEVER be happy nor cooperate. They will NEVER be a friend of the GOP. Conservative gays are brutalized by the gay mafia.
It's not really news.
Wack trannies can take a leap.
Some in the community are out and out zealots in trying to corrupt children with their constant focus on genitals and sexual preferences..
And by some I mean too many
Set yourself apart, and then bitch about being “othered.”
A Canadian schtick. Something allegedly part of Canadian Injun culture.
In Canada, the official acronym isn't LGBT, it's 2SLGBT. Listed first because First Nations, see?
Nailed it! Since when is protecting children from radical and unnecessary surgeries and drug treatments and from propagandization in our schools and libraries and from obscene drag shows "anti-LBTQ"?
That hollow, ringing echo in their heads is caused by the one track mind in an empty skull.
I guess they’ll have to wait for the DNC to showcase and “celebrate” their deviancy.
Because the Pervert wing of the LGBTQA+++ doesn’t want “unity” it want dominance
So I’m hearing that the Republican Party is a “big tent”. The RNC had porn stars, gays, thugs, immigrants, Hindu prayers to Demons, etc…
That definitely sounds like a big tent party.
It is big enough for Christians who believe all abortion is murder, Christ is the only path to salvation, demographics is destiny and we need more white people and less brown people, Israel is not our greatest ally, etc…?
I didn’t see much of that at the RNC. I guess it’s only a big tent for some types of people. (whores, foreigners and gays)
All this LGBT stuff is going too far. Now they are pushing surgery and cross see hormone shots and puberty blockers for children. And the way the leftists look at this, if you oppose or question any of this, you are anti LGBT and thus a bigot and hater.
Any gays happy about the changes in recent decades in life for gays? We have same sex marriage , and there have been Court decisions which indicate that this whole gender identity or gay status is protected under civil rights laws.
any gay activists happy about progress that has been made, or are they just pissed off and moving the goal post to all this transgender business? Are they always looking for something else to be pissed off about and just ignore all of the positive changes that have happened on their behalf?
being against men competing in womens sports and men being allowed in womens dressing rooms and bathrooms, does not make the GOP anti fag.
ABC always manages to blow it when it comes to homosexuals.
There are no restrictions on drag shows, just venue choices.
You can’t have drag shows in the public library but then you can’t hold rodeos in them either.
