GOP Chooses 'Gay' Agenda to Its Peril

Despite the policy triumphs showered on America by Donald Trump, there remains a blind spot in his administration. And in the view of many of his supporters, it’s a big one.

I remain a cheerleader of so much of what the Trump people are accomplishing as they try to restore order and sanity to our nation. So it’s agonizing to witness a grotesquely disordered policy gain muscle on his watch.

The GOP under Trump’s influence is embracing open homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” and expecting that his base will not notice. Guess what? Plenty of us are noticing, especially when it comes down to this: faithful Christians who support authentic marriage are being fired by open homosexuals appointed by Trump.

Ric Grenell, named by Trump to lead the Kennedy Center, apparently just fired the Center’s vice president Floyd Brown over past comments Brown made supporting traditional marriage. Grenell is openly “gay” with a male “husband.” Brown, who is pro-Trump, refused when asked to recant past comments of support for biblical sexual morality and traditional marriage, revealed in a CNN post. So he was shown the door.

At the very least, where’s the religious liberty Trump promises? And would it be too much trouble for Republicans to ditch the love fest with allegedly “conservative gays”? It was not hard to predict that eventually there would be a showdown of values.

And here it is. The Ric Grenells, Scott Bessents, Tammy Bruces are ultimately going to choose their aberrant desires over religious liberty for traditional Christians. Homosexuals are too committed to the road they have chosen, which is living a life that is diametrically opposed to God’s design for healthy sexual function and marriage.

And as such, these folks are a danger to conscience freedoms and school policy initiatives rooting out pro-“LGBTQ” lessons and programs. They can stand up against gender distortion all they want—and that’s a good thing. But they and their GOP allies seem to draw a hard line at fighting the companion perversion of sodomy.

It’s highly likely the “gay-cons” look wistfully at today’s school climate where homosexuality is often openly affirmed. “If only...” they muse about their own adolescent years.

Media homosexuals like Dave Rubin and Guy Benson are similarly double-minded. Benson sent numerous scathing looks my way when I was interviewed in studio by evangelical Christian radio host Sandy Rios years ago, when he was her producer. I couldn’t figure out why this person I had never met was so rude until many years later when he announced his open homosexual identity.

My hope for all these people is that they grow up emotionally and spiritually,  realize they were not “born this way” and embrace the bodies God gave them (and their best functions) as they reconcile with their Creator.

Grenell and Benson profess to be Christians, but I am very skeptical that anyone so openly committed to sin and so ready to ditch the clear instructions of Scripture is a true believer. For a refresher on what Scripture says, go HERE.

But until they are overcomers, these are public figures who can mislead a lot of people as they stab faithful Christians in the back.

In another jaw-dropper, the GOP in Virginia is standing behind its lieutenant governor candidate, John Reid, a homosexual who also professes Christian faith. Trump expressed his support for Reid in 2024 at a rally in Virginia and even posed for a photo standing between Reid and his male lover, who regularly campaigns with him.

But would a true believer tuck dollar bills into the clothing of a drag queen performer, and smile for the camera, as Reid was pictured doing on an Internet site? Or allow himself to be photographed with a whole group of female impersonators? Reid, a former Richmond radio talk show host, is “engaged” to his much younger male lover.

His candidacy could spell doom for the GOP ticket in a state where Democrats are proposing a state constitutional amendment enshrining same-sex “marriage” and Reid’s own position seems squishy at best.

Some are predicting a solid GOP loss. Here’s what Virginia Christian Action reported:

“A 2021 study by political scientists Gabriele Magni and Andrew Reynolds found that Republican candidates perceived as LGBTQ+ suffer an electoral penalty of up to 14.8 percentage points among GOP voters and over 17% among conservatives overall. This so-called ‘identity penalty’ could drag not just Reid down, but any Republican linked to him by proximity on the ballot.”

And a 2025 Gallup poll tells the promising truth, that support for same-sex “marriage” among Republicans has dropped 14 points in the last three years.

Even Melania, a practicing Catholic, has expressed support for those who claim a “gay” identity and has held fundraisers for the ‘gay’ Log Cabin Republicans, one at Mar-a-Lago. Log Cabin members regularly and proudly join debauched “pride” celebrations.

To be fair,  this coziness by the GOP leadership with open homosexuals has been emerging for years. CPAC extended an invitation to the Log Cabin Republicans to exhibit in 2018 while denying an exhibit to pro-family Mass Resistance.

Let’s not forget former U.S. Senator Rob Portman from my state of Ohio who announced his backing of same-sex “marriage” in 2013.

Here’s what I wrote in 2021 about broadening Republican support for homosexuality:

“Mitt Romney. Marco Rubio, whose campaign was heavily backed by pro-homosexual billionaire Paul Singer and who famously said he believes homosexuality is not a choice. Lisa Murkowski. Susan Collins. The congressional representatives who voted for the ‘Equality Act’-- John Katko and Tom Reed of New York, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.

“Ric Grennell. CPAC. American Opportunity Alliance. Catalyst PAC. American Unity PAC. Big Tent Republicans. Log Cabin Republicans. The once-conservative Chamber of Commerce, now fully transitioned into a shill for the homosexual/ transgender agenda....

“In Ohio, we have our own troubling history on this. Former Republican Governor John Kasich surrounded himself with homosexual advisors and evolved into an open ‘LGBTQ’ advocate. Current Governor Mike DeWine has a checkered record that includes sporadic support for homosexual demands. Our current Secretary of State, Republican Frank LaRose, is a backer of Ohio’s version of the ‘Equality Act.’ Open homosexuals have served in key Ohio GOP party positions.”

And in 2022, four Republican Ohio congressmen—Mike Carey, Anthony Gonzalez, Dave Joyce, and Mike Turner— supported the pro-homosexual “Respect for Marriage” Act.

Friends, this needs to change, because we see where it leads. We look like the hypocritical fools we are when party leaders wail about the 13- year- old boy secretly counseled to become “trans,” but apparently have no problem with a 13- year-old boy being instructed in “safe” anal sex for his “dates” with another male, as “LGBTQ- inclusive” comprehensive sex ed encourages.

It's all perversion—we all know it - and stop pretending otherwise, even if there are seemingly well-spoken people in the “gay” camp. Until God gets a grip on their hearts, their venom and claws will emerge if they have authority over faithful Christians.

America is doomed if the most otherwise sane among us join hands with this movement. God is not mocked.
