Jim Hoft, founder of the Gateway Pundit, a\u00a0leading conservative blog, has come out publicly as gay. \u00a0That was his response to liberals\u2019 defense of Islam after the Orlando shootings. \u00a0He believes that Donald Trump, with his tough stance against ISIS and Islamic immigrants and his long-time friendly relationship to gays and their causes, is the best choice for LGBT voters, many of whom (20% according to the latest poll) are rallying to the Trump banner.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s gay supporters are staging a party at the Republican convention designed to highlight the man who, according to one gay activist, is \u201cthe most pro-gay candidate in American electoral history.\u201d<\/p>\n

From\u00a0<\/span>Pamela Geller, Milo Yiannopoulos and Geert Wilders to Headline Historic \u201cWAKE UP\u201d LGBT RNC Event<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Pro-Trump gay conservatives are hosting a \u201cWake Up\u201d party next week at the Republican Convention in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

Conservative champions Pamela Geller<\/strong>, Milo Yiannopoulos<\/strong> and Dutch Party for Reform leader Geert Wilders\u00a0<\/strong>will rally the crowd for Donald Trump for President. Music will be provided by Cleveland DJ Mike Filly. The event will be held from 10 PM until 1 AM on Tuesday night July 19th at Cleveland State University.<\/p>\n

Pamela Geller<\/strong> says she is honored to support the pro-Trump event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Republican Party is the party of individual rights and the equality of all before the law. I am honored to appear with a group affirming this \u2013 especially as the forces of hate and violence are gathered to try yet again to destroy our freedoms. We need a big tent to defeat the Leftist\/Islamic machine.<\/strong> As Ben Franklin said, it\u2019s time to hang together, or we will all hang separately.\u201d Now is the time to put aside our personal differences and stand in defense of freedom for all. Hillary must be defeated. That is the goal \u2013 the only goal if this country is going to survive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Milo Yiannopoulos<\/strong> says he\u2019s glad to support a candidate who does not take funds from regimes that kill homos.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome LGBTQQUIA \u201cfolk\u201d are quivering with outrage and fear over the possibility of a Trump presidency. Idiots! Personally I think we need to add an S to that ever-expanding abbreviation \u2014 S for STUPID. Donald Trump is the most pro-gay candidate in American electoral history. He\u2019s also, unlike Hillary Clinton, not funded by countries that execute homos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats make all the right noises but do nothing for gays \u2014 or any other minority really, besides the tiny number of far-Left loons who still describe identify as \u201cfeminist\u201d (or \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d). It is time for the fag community to wake up and join the smart, handsome and courageous trailblazers (I\u2019m talking about myself) that I am calling L-G-B-Trump! . . . .<\/p>\n

The party takes places as LGBT voters are beginning to give Donald Trump a second look following the Orlando shooting. A Reuters poll<\/a> earlier this month showed 20% support for Trump among registered LGBT voters, up from 14% in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump has a long business record of excellence when it comes to gay people, and in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Orlando, Mr. Trump has made an impassioned case for defending the LGBT community from radical Islam,\u201d said Barron. \u201cHillary Clinton is happy to have gay people serve as an ATM for her campaign, while taking tens of millions from Islamic regimes that brutalize and murder gay people. She is happy to use gay people as political props by marching for a couple of blocks in a pride parade, but refuses to stand up for us in the face of Islamic terror. The bottom line is that Donald Trump is a far better choice for LGBT Americans \u2013 and indeed all Americans \u2013 than Hillary Clinton.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
