LGBT influence in conservative and GOP circles is growing. Here’s why that’s deeply problematic by Doug Mainwaring for Life Site News
Conservative elites, whether members of the political, academic, media, or corporate classes, need to once again relentlessly pursue intellectual honesty and integrity regarding creeping LGBT influence within their ranks.
On Saturday, major LGBT events on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts served to highlight the substantial rise of the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism in institutions that were once regarded as bastions of conservatism.
Donald Trump hosted a huge black tie gala for Log Cabin (LGBT) Republicans at his Florida Mar-a-Lago Atlantic resort home where former First Lady Melania Trump was honored with the organization’s “Spirit of Lincoln” Award.

Earlier that day at a San Diego shipyard, the U.S. Navy launched its newest ship, named after homosexual pederast Harvey Milk. The Secretary of the Navy and assorted admirals watched as a middle-aged transgender Navy veteran — a man who presents himself as a woman — christened the vessel. Two weeks earlier another gender-confused male was made a 4-star admiral.
Last weekend also capped a month of important national conservative gatherings where men “married” or “engaged” to or otherwise sexually and romantically partnered with other men were featured speakers.
During the previous week, billionaire Paypal founder Peter Thiel, talk show host Dave Rubin, and author Douglas Murray shared the stage with conservative Catholic luminaries Sohrab Ahmari, Mary Eberstadt, Michael Knowles, Patrick Deneen, Jay Richards, Rusty Reno, Robert Royal, and Austin Ruse at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando. Leading conservative Christian U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Josh Hawley (R-MO), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) also shared that stage.
Conservative hero and current Ohio U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy, announced last week that “married” homosexual Peter Thiel is playing an active role in his campaign.
Earlier in October, conservative podcast host and The Daily Wire writer Spencer Klavanwas featured at a summit focused on the importance of classical learning for high school students alongside Princeton Professor Robert George, University of Dallas Professor Jessica Hooten Wilson, and other legendary conservative Catholic educators. Klavan is “engaged” to a man who also works for The Daily Wire.
Then on Monday, the founding of a new institution of higher learning, The University of Austin, whose core purpose is “the intrepid pursuit of truth” aimed at “human flourishing,” was publicized to much fanfare. While the school will boast a stellar conservative and Christian faculty, it also counts two famous gay commentators — high profile males “married” to males — among its ranks: Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan Rauch. Both played huge roles in the promotion of same-sex “marriage” in the years leading up to the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision.
This raises the question: How will The University of Austin teachers and influencers inspire “the intrepid pursuit of truth” when the very public personal lives of its charter staff display a defiant, outright rejection of the most basic of observable, immutable truths: complementarity?
And how will “human flourishing” be promoted when LGBT influence has only served to disassemble the nuclear family, robbing children of life with both a loving mother and father?
What’s going on?
All of these recent landmark events, whether wittingly or unwittingly, give the appearance of approval of homosexuality and same-sex marriage within conservative, Catholic, and Christian circles.
