Three months ago, Brandon Straka was a New York City hairstylist and aspiring actor with a small social media following. Now, he's a frequent Fox News contributor with nearly 70,000 Twitter followers, whose posts have been shared by Donald Trump Jr. and Sarah Palin.

His ascent to conservative-media darling began on May 26, when Straka posted a now-viral video describing why he fled the Democratic party.

“Once upon a time, I was a liberal,” Straka says in the six-minute video, looking directly toward the camera. “For years now, I have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, ill-informed, un-American, hypocritical, menacing, callous, ignorant, narrow-minded and, at times, blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric.”

Actor James Woods used the #WalkAway hashtag on June 25, and then Sarah Palin shared a story about Straka on June 30.

“When she tweeted it, then I think people were able to connect the dots that this was more than just a trending hashtag, it was actually a campaign,” Straka said. The next day, Donald J. Trump Jr. posted a tweet using the #WalkAway hashtag, and then things really started to take off.

Article is from a year ago. Straka now is now about to hit 250,000 Twitter followers and the movement has since expanded. It incorporates all kinds of former liberals, not just LGBT but #WalkAway recently held LGBT Townhalls in NYC and LA, stirring much buzz.

Great interview between him and Mike Huckabee avail for view on Youtube as well.

Brandon’s movement is so important. It would be awesome for it to catch fire over the next 12 months. His videos and messaging has continued to get better.

I'm glad he kept it short. A full accounting of the leftist's character would take too long.

Personally I don’t see why any gay person would support a Democrat Party that is someday going to voluntarily bend over and submit to Sharia.

I would have no desire to get tossed off a building.

The Conservative movement needs every member it can get, homosexual or otherwise.

Glad I'm in before the bashing begins.......IBGBB........

I agree. Also the Blexit movement. And I like what Candice Owens/Charlie Kirk are doing with the young folks. Prager also has good stuff as well as Breitbart and Free Republic.

I’m telling you guys, there are a lot of good people doing a lot of good things to combat the evil that is trying to take over our Ten Commandants and our Constitution. We are all doing our part. Those of us who are elderly or limited in income...pray.

...and that’s pretty much what Brandon, himself, has said...
I’ve been a supporter for over a year now.
