A prominent group that represents LGBTQ+ conservatives known as the Log Cabin Republicans, says a video shared by Ron DeSantis′ presidential campaign that slams rival Donald Trump for his past support of gay and transgender people ventured into homophobic territory. The “DeSantis War Room” Twitter account shared the video last week that features footage of Trump at the Republican National Convention in 2016 saying he would do everything to protect our LGBTQ+ citizens. The video also highlights “LGBTQ for Trump” T-shirts sold by the former president’s campaign and his past comments saying he would be comfortable with Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic decathlete who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, using any bathroom at Trump Tower and OK with transgender women competing one day in the Miss Universe pageant, which Trump owned at the time of those remarks. The video then suddenly veers in a different direction, accompanied by dark, thumping music and images of DeSantis, promoting headlines of DeSantis signing the most extreme anti-trans laws in modern history. The Log Cabin Republicans’ Twitter account posted a message criticizing the video saying young votes and swing states might alienate him after the campaign. The post said the rhetoric, “has just ventured into homophobic territory.”
