PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hundreds of guests in tuxedos of all styles — sequined, quilted, velvet — and colorful gowns sipped on Trump-branded champagne and martinis. Between courses of steak and bite-sized Key lime pie, they danced to “YMCA” and “Macho Man,” the disco anthems at Trump rallies.
Thursday night’s Log Cabin Republicans’ “Spirit of Lincoln” gala in the main ballroom of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago beachfront club was a joyous celebration of gay rights and — in a case of ironic timing — the historic same-sex marriage law signed by President Joe Biden days earlier.
The long-planned event in honor of the conservative LGBTQ organization’s 45th anniversary brought in Republican notables like former Ambassador Ric Grenell, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, who emceed the evening in a feathered turquoise gown, and former GOP gubernatorial candidate from Arizona Kari Lake, who was swarmed by guests eager to meet her and take a photo.
But the main attraction, obviously, was Trump. He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.
“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “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.”
Throughout the evening, speakers praised Trump for his embrace of the gay community. They credited him for his initiatives to combat the criminalization of homosexuality, his work pushing for public heath initiatives to combat the HIV

This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I am done with Trump. Time for someone else to jump in front of the MAGA parade and lead us out of the immoral morass that America has become.
If you expect God to somehow bless America through Trump's leadership, stand by to be deeply disappointed.
This needs to be fact checked, beginning with Trump.
Yeah, I am done with politicians bowing to the rainbow mafia.
I do not know where that leaves me politically
In an interview on Fox News earlier this week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — a Trump rival widely viewed as a top GOP hopeful in 2024 — said there was “no need” for the Respect for Marriage Act and called the right’s concerns over religious liberty “valid.”
Stand by for law suits over Biblically based religious organizations not "accomadating" gay marriage. Pandora's box is about to be opened and it's not going to be pretty imho.
Gala of faggots and faggot backers. Oh, wait will FR Ban me for a week for relating my opinion like the new Musk twit did last WEEK. Somethings never change
Not to worry, scripture says what will happen to these sodomites
super sad to read this.
When Reagan was asked whether to return his campaign contribution from the Log Cabin Republicans he said something like , No, I’m glad to see they’ve come around to my way of thinking.
And that casual attitude of not caring about morality is why it is now increasingly acceptable for parents to take their kids to strip shows and have them put money down the thongs of the strippers. You can’t start down a road and then decide “okay, that’s enough progression of immorality” - accept some, you accept it all.
I respect those like Dave Rubin who respect everyone’s right to completely disagree with him and his lifestyle and he doesn’t hate them for doing so, nor does he believe those people are “haters” for doing so, but people like him are far and few between.
If this is true, well then...no words.
The world is upside down.
The uniparty is going full tilt.
Change my mind.
Did he say the things Trump said here, though?
therefore, we should ALL get our eternal lives in order. This is the evidence that the one world government is real and upon us. Don’t put your faith in the world government; it will be defeated.
Certainly got the closet Trump-haters to crack their doors open...
I will not follow politics any longer. There are many pass times that await my attention. This country now belongs to the young; and, they have chosen to kill it and turn it into Sodom/Gomorrah. It will collapse soon. I'll be dead soon.
Trump is becoming a daily disappointment. Yesterday news was his steadfast endorsement of McCarthy. Today’s news is faggots. I’m done, but I won’t be readily supporting globalist DeSantis. He’s not running yet and he really needs to earn my vote.
Standing here with the rest of us going "WT actual F just happened?"... or keeps happening.
You're not alone.
...and the Trump worshipers to turn to page 33.
Disgusting.
