GAY NSERVATIV EXIST AND ARE HAVG A MOMENT THE US

Ever more homosexuals are movg away om the opprsive rabow-flag-wavg LGBTQ alphabet – and we’re jt gettg started. For far too long, beg gay or lbian has been tied to liberalism. Fally, that paradigm is shiftg as more of the gay muny ref to be lectured by Democrats that we MUST vote the way they do if we “re about our own terts.

” Those terts, turns out, are as diverse as the gay populatn self.

Homosexuals aren’t a monolh, and spe the Democratic Party’s prumptn to speak for all of , they most certaly do gay nservative movement has grown exponentially over the last several s, wh a major uptick sce Donald Tmp entered the polil scene 2015. By 2020, one survey found 45% of gay men planned to st their vote for the “mean Tweeter” that electn year. Perhaps wasn’t lost on them that Tmp appoted the natn’s first gay bet member, Richard Grenell, as Director of Natnal Intelligence that same year.

I WAS PART OF 303 CREATIVE'S CASE. I BACK GAY MARRIAGE—BUT SCOTUS IS RIGHT

But ’s more likely that they had simply turned off ’s not that gay Republins weren’t always around, or engaged. We’ve been active the GOP for a long time, and pecially sce the 1970s foundg of Log Cab Republins, the natn’s olst and largt gay polil anizatn. Des earlier, 1978, aid by Ronald Reagan, the anizatn managed to feat the Briggs Iniative, which would have prevented homosexuals om teachg public schools.

GAY HOLOT

But even wh this important work, gay Republins have for the most part been a mory wh a mory, often drowned out by the other si, and merely tolerated or ignored by our own party. Watchg gay men and women go on televisn whout beg expected to stick to gay issu is a signifint moment Amerin culture.

Rather than ‘otherg’ ourselv, we are simply Amerins who happen to be gay.
