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

He deserves what will come his way, as will all of the sodomites and supporters. Not in this life, but there will be a surprise waiting.

It seems to me that tRUMP (irony intended) has made a choice to build a coalition among the same people who will never vote for him. You just CANNOT out pander the master panderers.

” At least he is still pro-life...hopefully. “

He is not and had never been pro-life in the way that Christian prolifers are. His reformed position is that abortion is bad because some of those babies aborted might have turned out to be financially successful human beings like he is (according to him). The rest of us don’t think anything like that. We believe in protecting innocent human life, totally regardless of any notion of success as adults. We value and protect the lives of God’s innocent children, period.

I do not know where that leaves me politically

John 15:18-19: If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Oh, boo! I love Trump, but same sex mirage is against the word of Hashem (Hebrew for G-d). They’re using the same sex mirage law to fight against Hashem and his people. Right now, all homosexuals with HIV are prematurely aging 14 years, which I presume means they’ll die 14 years early. HIV’s accelerated aging happens even if they’re being treated with antiretrovirals. Just proves that living a sinful life means you will suffer.
I wish Trump would declare same sex mirage is against the word of Hashem, as well as introducing children to sinful material in classrooms and drag queen indoctrination story hours. But not likely to happen soon.
