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.
Homosexuality is a perversion. A sexual perversion.
You don’t have to agree. The Bible says it is.
My kids also have friends who are homosexual and one a trans, female to male. It’s still a mental disorder and sexual perversion even though we love them and they are practically family.
And yes our birthrate is down due to taxes/finances but mostly because our Churches no longer preach the Gospel.We have had a cultural shift the last few generations. No amount of tax cuts will change that.
Well said.
Of course Jesus accepts homosexuals. He accepts all sinners.
We have to try to stop our sinning. We can’t keep committing the same sin and just say oops.
If people don’t believe a sin is a sin, is wrong, and try to stop committing that sin, then I guess theres that.
I’m glad God is the final judge of me, my sins. He is all that matters.
The Holy Spirit wrote “the book” and there’s that. Either you believe it or you don’t.
The Holy Spirit didn’t misquote God since they are one in the same.
Sigh.
Gays know that if Dems win, Muslims will get the right to kill GAYS. You may not like gays, but that is your freedom. I support them.
LOL
Most of the 2%?
Well, 99% of that 2% seem to control our culture now.
Wonder how that happened?
LMAO
Correct. Thank you. Mrs Deplorable and I have gay relatives and ConservaTeen has his friend who is. 99% of gays are hard working and they want America to be great.
You know 99% of the homosexuals or those who identify as such?
Wow.
Churches are not preaching the gospel. They is why we don’t go to church. We need churches to talk about families and birth dates, but most are talking BS.
As I said. 99% gays DO WANT America to be the best nation on Earth.
I do NOT find Jesus accepting of what the Father called an abomination... after all Jesus said ‘’’’’ Remember Lot’s wife’’’’.... play with fire plan to get ‘hot’.... Lot’s wife was not a participant, but she sure looked back longingly when told NOT too... every one makes a ‘choice’...
Apparently. Not a great example of the love you posted.
I’m glad I never had to titillate like that.
Honestly, at times it's enough to gag a maggot!!!
I would note that I didn’t say anything about God’s love, only his forgiveness of the repentant... :P
Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”And I posted about the example. I mean... taunting a widow like that over a plot of land she and her husband sold to make a donation before her dropping dead - Sheesh.At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Seems some Old Testament hung around.
Didn’t say it didn’t, but to be fair, this was not what Jesus Himself said to do.
Good we agree.
