Melania to Host Repub LGBT Group Fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago

Melania Trump is set to hold her first major political event of the year at Mar-a-Lago later this month: a fundraiser for Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBT Republican organization.

More

The Log Cabin Republicans fundraiser will take place amid some of the GOP's fiercest attacks on LGBTQ rights yet.

Comments

"The Log Cabin Republicans, which bills itself as "the nation's largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives and allies," occupies an awkward position in the conservative movement.

The organization has publicly clashed with the anti-LGBTQ stances of various factions of the GOP and prominent Republicans, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Yet it has also, at times, avoided discussing the GOP's assault on trans rights and tried to align itself with anti-trans outrage, as it did when it objected to the coincidence of Easter and the Transgender Day of Visibility.

The April fundraiser will take place amid some of the GOP's fiercest attacks on LGBTQ rights " including from Donald Trump " as Republican lawmakers enact anti-LGBTQ book bans, push anti-trans legislation in their states and escalate transphobic rhetoric."

aka having your "cake" and eating it, too.

@#1 ... "the nation's largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives and allies," ...

I can only wonder how long MAGA will tolerate such supporters?

imo, likely until November, after which MAGA will no longer need their votes.

This is impossible. According to those in the know on the Retort, she moved out and left him months ago, again. Never forget the photoshopped picture that Twin posted, and others fell for hook, line and sinker. The UHAUL truck at the WH moving her out because she was divorcing the president when he lost reelection. MTS looks just like DTS.

An honorary "log", yes.

I don't believe transgender people support today's GOP.

They'd be crazy to support people who want to erase them from society.
