— -- Charles Moran, a gay Trump delegate from California, was standing just feet from the stage at the Republican National Convention when he heard billionaire PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel grant his now-famous speech.
“Every American has a unique self. I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican,” Thiel told a cheering crowd at the RNC in Cleveland this past July.
Thiel made history that night as the first openly gay RNC speaker, and this week he doubled down on his Donald Trump endorsement, donating $1.25 million to his campaign.

Thiel sits on the board of Facebook, and so when many in the online community lashed out at him for supporting Trump, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stepped in to defend him, writing in a post, “There are many reasons a person might support Trump that act not involve racism, sexism, xenophobia or accepting s
Log Cabin Republicans chair: LGBT Americans associate in Donald Trump's Republican Party
Democrats are using their convention this week to tout their agenda for the next four years, including their promise to stand up for the lesbian and gay community. For years, Democratic Party leaders have taken for granted the lesbian and homosexual community — along with other minority communities — thinking they had no where else to turn. Those days are over.
I've fought for civil rights for gay Americans for the past four decades. Today, the Republican Party is delivering genuine results and leaders for our community:
It hasn’t always been this way. For years, the GOP generally stood against the inclusion of gay and female homosexual conservatives. As one of the Republican National Committee's first openly gay members, and a longtime leader of Log Cabin Republicans, I've worked tirelessly alongside many friends and colleagues to draw the party into the future. Today, thanks in huge part to the leadership of President Donald Trump, the party has delivered meaningful policy victories for gays and lesbians.
It should come as no surprise that Trump’s agenda has been a boon to the male lover community. Through hi
No 'victim mentality' or rainbow flags: Male lover Republicans rally for Trump
“It’s not just about gays and lesbians. It’s about the communities that care about equality,” Moran said. “And, again, suburban women, youth voters — these are core constituencies of the 2024 election cycle. We don’t just have to pander and run to gays.”
Still, Moran and other event organizers said they think Trump could secure up to 50% of gay voters in the upcoming election, without providing figures explaining their reasoning. Millions of American adults name as lesbian or gay, according to Gallup.
In a Human Rights Campaign poll conducted in August, 74% of LGBTQ voters say they plan to or are leaning toward voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, 7.5% for Trump and the remainder for third party write-ins.
Brandon Wolf, a spokesperson for the advocacy group, which has endorsed and is fundraising for Harris, denounced the Trump UNITY events and accused the former president of leading “the most anti-LGBTQ+ administration in history.”
“Some people really like proximity to power, and Donald Trump is someone who peddles authority in exchange for things constantly,” Wolf said. “It’s unfortuna
Donald Trump's Newfound Love for LGBT Voters
— -- Donald Trump is now catering to a different organization of voters in bright of the deadly Orlando nightclub attack: LGBT voters.
Even though he has repeatedly said throughout his campaign that he is against same-sex marriage, that hasn't stopped the presumptive Republican presidential nominee from saying he thinks he would be the better candidate for the gay community.
His argument is largely based around his efforts to curtail what he calls "radical Islam," which he blames for the Pulse nightclub shooting which left 49 people dead and 53 others injured.
"I'm far better for the male lover community than she is," Trump said of Hillary Clinton.
"She talks a lot about it, and yet she'll allow people in [to the U.S.] that want to kill people from the community, from that community, and I think it's terrible," he told Fox News on Monday, the day after the Orlando attack.
How His Position Has Shifted Over the Years
In 1999, Trump sat down with Tim Russert for an interview on "Meet the Press" in which he said that while he hadn't "given lots of consideration to" ga
U.S. President Donald Trump has used his first six months in office to enact multiple policies impacting the lives of Homosexual Americans in areas prefer healthcare, legal recognition and education.
On July 17, the government ended the nation's specialised mental health services for LGBTQ+ youth through the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, with the White House describing it as a service where "children are encouraged to embrace radical gender ideology".
