Catholic First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has come out in support of the GOP LGBT group, Log Cabin Republicans.
In a video which has been seen over 250,000 times in less than 24 hours, Mrs. Trump explained that her husband, the president of the United States who is now vigorously campaigning for reelection, is “the ultimate outsider, and that earned him many enemies in the political establishment.”
“I was shocked to discover that some of these powerful people have tried to paint my husband as anti-gay, or against equality. Nothing could be further from the truth,” asserted Mrs. Trump. “Donald loves helping people, and he loves seeing those around him, and his country, succeed.”
“As leader of the Republican party and president of the United States, Donald has been clear that gays and lesbians will be treated as he has always treated them: equally,” she continued. “Donald is the first president to enter the White House supporting gay marriage. Donald is also the first president to appoint an openly gay official to his cabinet.”
“Today we see free-thinkers and independent voices — like gay conservatives and Log Cabin Republicans — silenced, censored, and bullied by cancel culture mobs,” she said.
“I’m First Lady Melania Trump. I support the Log Cabin Republicans, and I am unapologetically outspoken,” she added, incorporating the name of the Log Cabin Trump campaign site, “OUTspoken.”
Mrs. Trump’s expressed support, while firmly stated, focuses not on specific issues popularly associated with the leftist LGBT juggernaut, but on the right of gays with libertarian or conservative views to not have their voices silenced, and to not be ignored by mainstream media.
In recent weeks the Trump campaign has shifted into high gear regarding its outreach to voters that identify as “LGBT,” a group which the GOP had essentially ceded to the leftist Democratic Party.
While clearly having brewed behind the scenes for a long time, the Trump campaign’s outreach to the LGBT world exploded into the public square in August when Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump’s former acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and Ambassador to Germany who identifies as a homosexual, proclaimed in a video ad that “President Trump is the most pro-gay president in American history.”
That video quickly garnered millions of views.
Since then, the outreach to homosexuals has remained at a high level of visibility, with Brandon Straka, the gay founder of the “Walk Away” movement joining with Grenell and members of the Trump family at “TRUMP Pride” — events which have been held at cities across the country, including Nashville, Tampa, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Saturday evening in Pittsburgh.
Earlier this month, at a debate titled “LGBT Throwdown,” right-leaning Straka, Blaire White, and Mike Harlow easily crushed the tired arguments and long-held Human Rights Campaign pretensions of their three leftist debate adversaries.
Full transcript of Mrs. Trump’s ‘unapologetically outspoken’ pro-gay remarks:
America is a place where you can be anything you want. Your opportunities are endless because our country provides so many chances to succeed.
As First Lady of the United States, I know how much my husband loves the American people and I know his passion in life is to see all the citizens of this great country do well and prosper.
Donald is the businessman who never worked in politics. The ultimate outsider, and that earned him many enemies in the political establishment.
I was shocked to discover that some of these powerful people have tried to paint my husband as anti-gay, or against equality. Nothing could be further from the truth. Donald loves helping people, and he loves seeing those around him, and his country, succeed.
As leader of the Republican party and president of the United States, Donald has been clear that gays and lesbians will be treated as he has always treated them: equally. Donald is the first president to enter the White House supporting gay marriage. Donald is also the first president to appoint an openly gay official to his cabinet.
The story of America is one of trailblazers and fearless underdogs. Today we see free-thinkers and independent voices — like gay conservatives and Log Cabin Republicans — silenced, censored, and bullied by cancel culture mobs.
This is not the America any of us want to live in. America was founded on God-given rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of expression. We are a nation that celebrates and protects diversity and we condemn those who bully and intimidate people.
We do not want to live in a place without freedom, where everyone is forced to think alike.
My husband sees the promise of America and all her citizens moving onward as we recover from many challenges. Even if you don’t agree with my husband about everything, you have the right to say it. That is the American way; let’s protect it.
I’m First Lady Melania Trump. I support the Log Cabin Republicans, and I am unapologetically outspoken.
God bless you all. And God bless our beautiful nation.
Re: Post #25: True. My friend agree with that! Who wants the government in your bedroom? I’m straight and I don’t want them in my bedroom!
What do gays marrying each other upset you? If my friend wants to marry his boyfriend, they don’t need your permission. Why do you want GOVERNMENT in people bedroms? That is not a conservative idea. Should white people not marry other races?
God’s Word:
“For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one,
And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another—men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)
Buddy....we won’t have a nation if we don’t make babies! Our congress has promised 100 trillion dollars of freebies to future Americans. Our birthrate is at its lowest point ever. Where are we going to find tax payers to fund these programs? You need to quit virtue signaling and start learning how to think. Somethings are more important than others. Nothing that I said is bigoted...grow up and go back to school
Because homo is abnormal, and bringing up private stuff brings up sexuality, which is also inappropriate in public. If a child shouldn’t discuss it, then it shouldn’t be public.
That is what “marrying” does, as well as PDAs....it brings up the whole thing of sexuality.
Besides that, it is abnormal in that it does not procreate the species. Thus, there should be no marriage, which is what it is meant for.
Many would ask why is government in the marriage business at all? Ok. Church only.
Race is not nearly the same as abnormal behavior. Former is normal, latter is not.
So what. My cousin is gay...but she’s one amongst some 36.
That’s fine. Just don’t need it shoved in my face, nor in children’s faces. They do not need to discuss sexuality. Our society was much better before all this immoral sexual revolution went on, culminating in celebrating abnormality.
Are retarded people celebrated? Or just helped?
And are you going to judge gays? AIDS, my friend and his boyfriend won’t get it. He and his boyfriend are monogamous. I’m defending my gay friend and if you judge me as a RINO, I bet am more CONSERVATIVE than you.
God’s Word:
“Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns committed sexual immorality and perversions, and serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.”
(New Testament, Jude 1:7)
Well said.
Sorry, my friend is not mentally wacked out. Maybe your friend is, but not my friend.
“Excuse me,”
OK.
Make NO mistake, if you uphold God’s values He will uphold you. Mock Him by deliberately disobeying his law, and He will destroy everything you are....Including your family and our nation.
WHO should we obey....man/woman or GOD.
I choose GOD.
1 Samuel 2:30
“Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.

Be cautious Republicans.
How do you know that Jesus won’t accept gays? Do you have a cell phone number for Jesus? I believe Jesus will accept gays.
Amen....
God has already declared in His Word that homosexuality is wrong and sinful in His eyes.
He has already judged it. People here on this thread are only saying what God has spoken about it.
God is the Judge. And He has already declared that it is wrong. It will never be right in His eyes.
God loves and wants to help the sinner. And we are to love the sinner also. But we are never to say something is right when God has said it is wrong and sinful.
It is NOT our place to judge them that is Gods job all I know is that there are a whole lot of wonderful hard working people that are gay and working VERY HARD to save our country!!!
Sorry, I graduated. I’m voting for Trump November 3. So are my friends - including my gay friend. Yes, our birthrate is at an all time low, but it isn’t because of gays, it is because of the tax rates killing families. If we had a tax rate that would give tax breaks to families and stay at home parents, the birth rate might go up.
Just because someone wrote it in the book, maybe the author misquoted GOD. Again, man wrote the Bible. I’ll let GOD decide if my friend sinned or not...
I’m sure there are conservative people who live the gay lifestyle and want this country to prosper.
My ONLY point is to let it be known what Almighty God has DECLARED already about homosexuality — HE says it is a sin and wrong.
It doesn’t matter what anyone else says about it...GOD Himself has said it is wrong and HE is the Judge.
The Bible is the Word of God.
If you don’t believe that, then I challenge you to pray and ask God to show you the truth — ask Him — is the Bible really God’s Word or not?
I promise you...God will answer your prayer and give you His answer.
