The Republican National Committee announced its first ever "RNC Pride Coalition" over the weekend, partnering with the Log Cabin Republicans to invest and mobilize LGBTQ communities ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
The announcement came during the Log Cabin Republicans' "Spirit of Lincoln Gala," which took place Saturday night at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and attracted a high-profile group of attendees, including former President Trump and former first lady Melania Trump, who was the event’s guest of honor, and other prominent Republicans, including former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who was given the "Majority Maker" award, said the RNC is "committed" to working with the Log Cabin Republicans — the country’s largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBTQ conservatives and allies — calling the organization "a partner to fight for our country’s future."
"Conservatives in Log Cabin don’t just share our vision for a free, secure and prosperous America — they enrich it by adding unique perspectives to our party and recruiting even more diverse candidates and supporters to join our cause," McDaniel said.
"The RNC is launching our first-ever RNC Pride Coalition," she continued, adding that RNC Pride will "work alongside our other coalition groups to invest in communities and mobilize support for the upcoming midterms."
President of Log Cabin Republicans Charles Moran said the organization was involved in both the Virginia and New Jersey governor's races last week, and plans to "play an even bigger role on the ground in the midterm elections next year helping Republicans win back the House and Senate."
"When LGBT conservatives are included in Republican campaigns, we win," Moran told Fox News.
Grenell, who was the first openly gay U.S. Cabinet official in history, reflected on the evolution of the Republican Party, calling the progress "phenomenal."

BARF!!!!!
Lots of people punching above their weight class. The last I heard, Peter still has the keys…
Wrong answer.
That which is not explicitly Christian is anti-Christian, or have you not been following the news.
Lincoln weeps
*So we should kick Richard Grennell out of the Party?*
It’s good he’s one of us. At least he’s not Rachel Levine.
Taking it up the butt is not a disqualifier.
Saddling up to the pink mafia is not the road to go down.
Take note of Dem position today, because those will be the Rep positions 10 years from now. That is somehow conservative.
The Reprobate Party. No thanks.
re: “I am always stunned when I hear someone tell me—out of the blue, no context—that they are gay or lesbian.”
Attention getting mainly. A ploy. Some however would seem to take it a bit further (poor impulse control, etc.)
Conservatism was thrown under the bus long before this abomination. I finally left the Republican Party a couple of decades ago. Long after they left me in the dust.
With this move which ultimately endorses LBSTQURSTVism they can kiss any chance of support from me goodbye. Of course to be honest I quit supporting them other than my vote long ago.
How many bedrock values will they toss out before people will quit holding their noses and stop voting for the lessor of two evils.
They continually count on that vote.
Haven’t given them in a dime in ages. God will not be mocked.
Sodom and gomorrah
Still not one reply noting Trump’s role in this.
It seems Mr. Trump is learning how to be yet another two faced “politician”. I really tire of him more and more.
Homosexuality is both unnatural and morally evil. Tolerance and respect for fellow humans who are homosexual is appropriate, but pride? No way! Republicans who embrace homosexual pride, including Trump, are on the wrong side of this issue. Oh, and gay marriage is not marriage either.
I guess the meaning of “conservative” is sort of like what the definition of “is” is.
Good for you. However, with this move the RNC not only approves of their lifestyle but it is an ipso facto endorsement.
Getting in bed with gays never ends well.
Wow. That is really pithy!
Your pic of Trump holding the flag means nothing. We all know who Trump is. He’s one of those rarest politician who doesn’t check a box. I w
