When most people think of Donald Trump, the words “pro” and “gay” typically do not ever enter their minds. Unless you are a Log Cabin Republican, then, evidently, he’s the most pro-gay president in the history of all presidents who ever existed!
A weird new video by the self-hating gay conservative group featuring none other than out former U.S. ambassador to Germany/Trump surrogate Richard Grenell claims Trump is “the most pro-gay president in American history.”
The video, set to patriot-sounding, royalty-free music, makes all sorts of patently false claims, including that Trump is the “strongest ally that gay Americans have ever had in the White House,” that he spearheaded some non-existent global initiative to decriminalize homosexuality planetwide, and that he was the first president in history to be “pro-gay marriage from his first day in office.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In reality, Trump has spent the past three and a half years chipping away at LGBTQ equality and appointing antigay judges, he’s embraced some of the most homophobic leaders in the world, including Vladimir Putin and Jair Bolsonaro, and he spoke out against same-sex marriage while on the campaign trail in 2016.
Oh, and let’s also not forget that he picked one of nation’s most homophobic governors to be his Vice President.
But sure! Donald Trump is the most pro-gay president America has ever seen! …So long as you don’t look at his record, his tweets, his allies, or listen to anything he’s ever said about LGBTQ people.
Watch. Or don’t.
Grenell: Donald Trump is America's most pro-gay President.
President Donald J. Trump made history for LGBT Americans — and nobody knows that better than Richard Grenell. #GetOUTspoken

The most predictable thing is, if Republicans lose big, this guy will have a sudden “revelation” since he won’t be able to get a job and will suddenly talk about how wrong he was, etc…
Just like all of those people who used to run the ex-gay ministries.
calpoidog
Like most ambassadors, he was a major donor to RNC campaigns and thus doesn’t need a job. I don’t see how guys like this get themselves laid if people know who they are.
Chrisk
His job isn’t to convince gay people that Donnie is pro gay. They already know it’s BS. This message is for the straight moderates only. It show’s Donnie isn’t bigoted because even the gays love him.

Isn’t anti gay legislation STILL in the Republican Party Platform???
Toofie
Yes, unfortunately. When your party platform still decries gay marriage years after it’s legalization, gay Republicans need to move on.

Can someone pull this guy’s head out of his a**?
WSnyder
Isn’t it laughable that these Homos who are ostracized by the LGBTQ+ Community turn around and fraudulently claim they’re speaking on our behalf? Trump is the ‘Best Pro-Gay’ President ever, because you claim he is? Is there ANY prominent LGBTQ+ group endorsing this Dumpster Fire for President? Yeah can count them on a single finger [guess which one] and not sure the Log Cabin Repubs count since like half their staff quit 3 years ago.
Kangol2
He’s batsh!t crazy, like most Trumplikkkans. Just ask Germany’s government; they breathed a sigh of relief when this nutcase Grenell was finally withdrawn from his post as ambassador there.

Cam has become that problematic commenter who has something awful to say on every post and who gets into personal squabbles with other readers. If you’ve been around a while, as I have, you’ll remember how that guy Estabon1985 (something like that) basically burned Queerty to the ground with the same tactics. Multiple comments on the same post, commenting on every single story, personalizing, getting into individual wars with others, creating a vortex which is *all* about and *only* about him. This guy is creating a very inhospitable environment here and dedicates way too much of his time to this site. Something’s wrong here. Queerty editors please take note, save yourselves, save your site.

Yes, Cam is generally very toxic. But in this case, he’s not wrong about this douche canoe.
Heywood Jablowme
Oh yes, you are remembering Giancarlo85 – a Colombian immigrant, lived in L.A., claimed to be trans (but probably just a drag queen), an enthusiastic Democrat who however had a weird hatred for marijuana and didn’t want Calif to legalize it. I like to think he needed to be committed to a mental hospital after Calif voters ignored his advice and legalized pot.
As for Cam/DC Guy, he has this idea that there is only ONE gay guy who voted for Trump but for some reason, the one pro-Trump guy has multiple “accounts” on Queerty and uses them all to troll poor Cam! Poor Cam/DC Guy is getting more and more paranoid about this.
About 15% of gay men voted for Trump (down from about 30% for GWB in 2004) so it’s likely there are several pro-Trump commenters here on Queerty. I don’t know why anyone would just assume they’re all one person. You’d have to be even nuttier than a gay Trumper to believe that.
Taiyoken
@Heywood. Cam’s issue isn’t gay Trump voters or paranoia, it’s pure toxicity. I did not, nor would I ever, vote for Trump. But, during primary season he relentlessly attacked me as a Russian paid right wing bot and troll for daring to disagree with him, as he did with everyone who disagreed with him on the candidates no matter how polite we were about it. I took a break from Queetry to just so I wouldn’t be tempted to post anymore so I could de-stress.

1. 99% of comments on this site are negative
2. If you can’t take the heat then don’t engage. Simple really

Lol. Cams like a broken record…. Everytime I read Awwwwww cute, Sweetie or Nice try it makes me cringe. Or the constant “multiple accounts” accusations and need to be right…..like ALL THE TIME. Lmao and WE’RE THE TROLLS…… Nice try Cam. NICE TRY!!!
Heywood Jablowme
@Taiyoken: Cam did that to me too at one point (I’m a hardcore Trump-hater & like you, I’ve never once written anything pro-Trump). Cam is just too lazy to keep track of who anybody is here. Apparently it’s easier for him to believe “they” are all one person!
@iggy6666: Yeah – “Sweetie” makes me want to barf! And of course, all that stuff is Cam’s projection. He must be retired since he has unlimited time to post here every day on seemingly every story. So maybe he thinks it’s “logical” that his imaginary multi-account opponent is similarly retired/bored, or being paid by Russians.

what a PUKE
montegutdude
Well. What do you expect? He learned from the master. If Trump has taught us anything, it’s that if you tell a lie and repeat it enough, eventually some number of saps will believe it.

It would really be great if us gays could just call balls and strikes………….Richard Grenell is just not “self hating” and instead an incredibly successful administrator, in a loving relationship with a long term partner and a cancer survivor. Why would Queerty feel the need to slam this man? Oh I forgot we all must be on the same page politically or you would take away our pink patches. The Trump administration has a complicated record on gay rights but should we not give credit where credit is due? Trump with RG spearheading, launched a global campaign to end the crimminalization of homosexuality. This is very important as 72 countries still identify same-sexual orientation as criminal, including eight where it is punishable by death. “Orange Man Bad” it should be noted appointed the first openly gay Cabinet member in USA history. In 2019, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced that pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences Inc., would donate pre-exposure prophylaxis medication for uninsured, high-risk HIV individuals. As part of the president’s “Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America” initiative, this medication, which could run up to as much as $20,000 per patient, per year, would be distributed to up to 200,000 individuals each year through at least Dec. 31, 2025. The Trump plan is focused on communities most in need and has received support from those who have been involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Shame on the haters who are so blinded by partisanship they cannot even recognize progress when it happens.

I choose not to watch this drivel. I don’t understand any gay or Black person wanting to endorse this man. It makes my skin crawl.

Cam is a loser. He is an overweight, unattractive, middle-aged man with no friends.

Translation: The original owner of this screename already pointed out that a troll account stole it, and now it’s trying to deflect from the topic. As it normally does.

What Rich Grenell says IS true and Brokeback Patriot is a great guy. Lots of people in Florida are like him who support the republican party along with others who have seen the light #walkaway. Too many leftist gays have become too intolerant and that is what has ruined Wilton Manors which is why my husband and I moved out.
