“As a gay American who leads an organization of LGBT conservatives that supported Donald Trump and his campaign, let me assure you: this rhetoric is nonsense. The fear campaign stirring LGBT voters into a panic around Trump’s second term is absolutely unjustified. No one’s ‘basic human rights’ are being taken away, nor is anyone at risk of physical danger.”

Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran pushed back Thursday on the “full-blown, fear-driven meltdown” from Democrats and Leftist LGBT influencers around President Trump’s election in a new op-ed at Washington Examiner:

“As a gay American who leads an organization of LGBT conservatives that supported Donald Trump and his campaign, let me assure you: this rhetoric is nonsense. The fear campaign stirring LGBT voters into a panic around Trump’s second term is absolutely unjustified. No one’s ‘basic human rights’ are being taken away, nor is anyone at risk of physical danger. 

“Where are they getting this stuff? It’s being peddled by well-funded, Democrat-connected LGBT interest groups who most effectively fundraise and mobilize voters in a climate of LGBT terror. Many LGBT influencers on the front line are all too eager to take part in the campaign. Others have blindly bought into and internalized the alarmist talking points.

“Attempts to explain or reason are responded to with further emotional outrage or accusations of anti-LGBT hate, but let’s set the record straight for those genuinely looking to understand.”
