Log Cabin President 'Outraged' with Charlotte Pride, Wants Money
A week after remaining silent over Trump's decision to break eight years of tradition by not proclaiming June "National LGBT Pride Month," gay conservative mouthpiece Gregory T. Angelo, president of Log Cabin Republicans is finally speaking up. Only it wasn't White House officials who awoke Angelo. It was decision of Charlotte Pride in North Carolina not to include a pair of conservatives to march under the banner of "Gays for Trump" in the city's pride parade this August. And now Angelo is asking for money.
According to local news station Fox 46, Brian Talbert and a fellow gay Republican sent in an application to Charlotte Pride so they could have a float in the city's Pride parade this year. In mid May, he received an email from Charlotte Pride informing them that his application to march would not be approved.
All of this, prompted Angelo to break silence.
"Prepared to be enraged," Angelo wrote in an email to followers Thursday.
"There is a grand irony that in�the state of North Carolina�- a hotbed of LGBT politics since the passage of�discriminatory�anti-transgender legislation�last year�- Charlotte Pride Parade organizers who claim to espouse the 'diversity' and 'inclusion' in�the LGBT community�have shown that they are�driven by blind liberal ideology�rather than the fight for equality," he said.
Angelo was quick to blast other LGBT organizations.
"Don't hold your breath waiting for any organizations on the LGBT Left to speak out against this," he wrote.
True to form, Angelo's outrage turned to a money grab.
"That's why it's more important than ever to support our work. Please give�today, and give generously -�$500, $250, $100, or whatever you can afford�will help us continue to call out the haters, stand up for free speech, and push against�liberal activists becoming more�unhinged by the day," he concluded.
