Catholic First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has come out in support of the GOP LGBT group, Log Cabin Republicans.
In a video which has been seen over 250,000 times in less than 24 hours, Mrs. Trump explained that her husband, the president of the United States who is now vigorously campaigning for reelection, is “the ultimate outsider, and that earned him many enemies in the political establishment.”
“I was shocked to discover that some of these powerful people have tried to paint my husband as anti-gay, or against equality. Nothing could be further from the truth,” asserted Mrs. Trump. “Donald loves helping people, and he loves seeing those around him, and his country, succeed.”
“As leader of the Republican party and president of the United States, Donald has been clear that gays and lesbians will be treated as he has always treated them: equally,” she continued. “Donald is the first president to enter the White House supporting gay marriage. Donald is also the first president to appoint an openly gay official to his cabinet.”
“Today we see free-thinkers and independent voices — like gay conservatives and Log Cabin Republicans — silenced, censored, and bullied by cancel culture mobs,” she said.
“I’m First Lady Melania Trump. I support the Log Cabin Republicans, and I am unapologetically outspoken,” she added, incorporating the name of the Log Cabin Trump campaign site, “OUTspoken.”
Mrs. Trump’s expressed support, while firmly stated, focuses not on specific issues popularly associated with the leftist LGBT juggernaut, but on the right of gays with libertarian or conservative views to not have their voices silenced, and to not be ignored by mainstream media.
In recent weeks the Trump campaign has shifted into high gear regarding its outreach to voters that identify as “LGBT,” a group which the GOP had essentially ceded to the leftist Democratic Party.
While clearly having brewed behind the scenes for a long time, the Trump campaign’s outreach to the LGBT world exploded into the public square in August when Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump’s former acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and Ambassador to Germany who identifies as a homosexual, proclaimed in a video ad that “President Trump is the most pro-gay president in American history.”
That video quickly garnered millions of views.
Since then, the outreach to homosexuals has remained at a high level of visibility, with Brandon Straka, the gay founder of the “Walk Away” movement joining with Grenell and members of the Trump family at “TRUMP Pride” — events which have been held at cities across the country, including Nashville, Tampa, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Saturday evening in Pittsburgh.
Earlier this month, at a debate titled “LGBT Throwdown,” right-leaning Straka, Blaire White, and Mike Harlow easily crushed the tired arguments and long-held Human Rights Campaign pretensions of their three leftist debate adversaries.
Full transcript of Mrs. Trump’s ‘unapologetically outspoken’ pro-gay remarks:
America is a place where you can be anything you want. Your opportunities are endless because our country provides so many chances to succeed.
As First Lady of the United States, I know how much my husband loves the American people and I know his passion in life is to see all the citizens of this great country do well and prosper.
Donald is the businessman who never worked in politics. The ultimate outsider, and that earned him many enemies in the political establishment.
I was shocked to discover that some of these powerful people have tried to paint my husband as anti-gay, or against equality. Nothing could be further from the truth. Donald loves helping people, and he loves seeing those around him, and his country, succeed.
As leader of the Republican party and president of the United States, Donald has been clear that gays and lesbians will be treated as he has always treated them: equally. Donald is the first president to enter the White House supporting gay marriage. Donald is also the first president to appoint an openly gay official to his cabinet.
The story of America is one of trailblazers and fearless underdogs. Today we see free-thinkers and independent voices — like gay conservatives and Log Cabin Republicans — silenced, censored, and bullied by cancel culture mobs.
This is not the America any of us want to live in. America was founded on God-given rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of expression. We are a nation that celebrates and protects diversity and we condemn those who bully and intimidate people.
We do not want to live in a place without freedom, where everyone is forced to think alike.
My husband sees the promise of America and all her citizens moving onward as we recover from many challenges. Even if you don’t agree with my husband about everything, you have the right to say it. That is the American way; let’s protect it.
I’m First Lady Melania Trump. I support the Log Cabin Republicans, and I am unapologetically outspoken.
God bless you all. And God bless our beautiful nation.
We are witnessing a foreshadow of the end-times. Some people just don’t get it, nor do they understand the urgency of getting right with God now. He is in charge of everyone’s next breath and no one is guaranteed a next one.
The main thing is the main thing . . . . a personal relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This world is not our home. It is appointed for us to die . . .and then judgment. We decide where we will spend eternity. . .we all have a choice. Here on earth our problems begin when we don’t depend on the Holy Spirit to direct our path, our actions, our thoughts, our words, our deeds and our choices. I know that from personal experience through my many years on earth.
Good for her. Love her.
Walk Away Campaign. They are the best.
Maybe that’s how they swing in Slovenia.
Soooo.... Trump conducted political theater for the position of DNI for two and a half years and magically made the prior 37.5 years’ occupants of the office incompetent just to make a gay Republican appointee look good?????
Do you really believe that? What are you smoking?
Well, apparently God decided that maybe they should have disclosed their commission ahead of time and strenuously objected.
Nice...Gays are not all Liberals...Some are businesspeople...
God will sort us all... some just do not believe He means what He said. Each and every soul will get their own personal face to face... man/woman since the Garden Party makes a choice.. To be a conservative is to take personal responsibility. The pop in Rome has made a deal with the devil...
I said ‘heal yourself’ flippantly and I apologize....
....but I agree with Bramps that we shouldn’t be cavalier about homosexuality......or adultery.....or any sin, for that matter.
We all sin and fall short of the glory of God
We are called to repent from sin, not embrace it.
If Melania is calling for all people to be respected and treated kindly, I heartily agree.
But I don’t agree with gay marriage.
Amen
I trust Scott Presler, Brandon Straka and Milo Yiannopoulos more than I trust you.
Now, take your hatred and slink back into the cave you dinosaurs live in.
its not hatred
but its convenient to warp it this way so you can dismiss it
nice try
you would make a lovely communist with those skills
Thank you, Melania! I support Gay, since my friend is. Today’s youth are not as religious, we believe in GOD, but not organized religion. (Just like the government, why should we give 10% of our hard earned money to build more buildings ..).
Yeah, sure. Whatever you gotta tell yourself.
Youths do not care if their friends are gay. I'm glad gay Republicans are being recognized!!
Why? Organized Religion is a dinosaur. I believe in GOD, but GOD doesn’t care if you pray in your bedroom or in a church. GOD doesn’t care if you are gay...
you are such a Biden and Pelosi
either you have to endorse and embrace it or you’re a hater
you’re no better than the libtards for people opposed to what you believe
and its clear from your posts, you’ve typed the evidence thinking you’re so enlightened and open
all you’ve shown is poor jugdgment and close mindedness to those not believing what you do
Gay youths hate people like Desmond is Amazing. He doesn't represent GAYS!
Amen...
