Trump addresses Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago gala
The Los Angeles Blade ^ | December 16, 2022 | Christopher Kane

Posted on 12/19/2022 4:10:46 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Former President Donald Trump addressed an audience gathered at his Mar-a-Lago club and estate in Palm Beach, Fla., Thursday night for the Log Cabin Republicans’ Spirit of Lincoln gala, the conservative LGBTQ group’s flagship event.

“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” Trump said.

“Last night, we had over 450 LGBT conservatives and our straight allies join us for another amazing Spirit of Lincoln gala,” Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran told the Washington Blade.

“While the speakers and award honorees spanned the conservative spectrum, all of them, including President Trump, articulated a deep appreciation for our community and committed to our broader inclusion and support for gay rights,” Moran said, adding, “This is the bar we’ll be holding all GOP candidates to in 2023 and 2024.”

Last year, the Log Cabin Republicans honored Melania Trump with its Spirit of Lincoln award, citing her work combatting bullying in her role as first lady.

However, the group’s support of the former president, his family and his administration has not come without controversy — even among members of its own leadership, prompting Jerri Ann Henry to resign from her position as executive director in 2019.

I’m about 80% done with Trump. Defending the Religious Persecution Act is the final nail.

He’s giving MAGA the cheese grater treatment, CVA. MAGA is complaining. Not anti-MAGA.

If DeoSanctimonuoius ever became President ( 100:1 shot at best) he would be Mitch’s bitch. The FBI would control his a$$.

Why not re-run Cruz?

Since Trump loves this horribly destructive marriage act, I bet he appoints Buttigieg and Milo to his cabinet.

I think it’s safe to say we’re going to endure your Trump bashing posts for weeks and months to come. Reminds me of the Cruz and Bush bots here in 2016.

So there’s no point reading what your posting. Yiur mind is made up so is mind.

Trump deserves our support, because he was a good president and is the only one out there to save this country, probably the world.

Even though we disagree, I want you to Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Right. If you idoits pushing Deo think we are going to back him if the DOJ manages to "get Trump" you got another thing coming. I can't think of a more opportunistic weasel dick thing any GOPe type could do...

Wait until the MSM makes candidate DeoSaint denounce Trump and his "followers" and take the anti MAGA pledge.

Many “conservatives” attended this event, including Kari Lake. It’s disappointing to be sure, but modern conservatism is more akin to libertarianism (libertinism?). They are social liberals and fiscal conservatives, and they aren’t really all that fiscally conservative either.

Trump has a somewhat nuanced view of LGBT issues. He supports gay rights but he also strongly supports free speech and religious freedom. So even though he associates with and supports unrepentant homosexuals, he appears to back my right to speak out against immorality.

Homosexuality is a moral evil, and homosexuals are disordered individuals. They suffer from a naturally occurring but unnatural inclination (temptation). The promotion of homosexuality as something culturally harmless is extremely naive at best, but so is the promotion of all sorts of other sins such as the hookup culture and rampant drug misuse. These things tear down the civil society.

Trump deserves our support....

No, he doesn't. He needs to EARN and KEEP our support.

He EARNED our support and we voted for him in 2016 & 2020, but he has done nothing to KEEP our support for 2024.

We are not cultists or blind loyalists. Most of us wish Trump was not behaving like this, but that is his problem as he is self-destructing.

The FACT is that Trump has lost his edge, his charm and his political acumen.

You may be right...or you may be wrong.

That said, making a decision to abandon Trump at this point is foolish.

Thoughout the 2016 election and throughout his presidency, people were forever saying Trump has lost his edge only to see him keep on going.

As said, you may be right or you may be wrong.

History and Trump say you're wrong.
