The queer community’s widespread anger boiled over in the aftermath of the Trump administration’s removal of a Rainbow Flag from the Stonewall National Monument, but many leading LGBTQ Republicans are not speaking out about the issue at all.
The national branch of the Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of LGBTQ conservatives, did not respond to Gay City News’ request for comment about the flag’s removal on Feb. 17 — and the group’s New York City chapter also did not respond. The flag’s removal came less than a year after Log Cabin Republicans hosted a party at Trump Tower and less than two years after the group’s Palm Beach chapter donated $237,500 to Melania Trump before she spoke at their fundraiser.
