The Log Cabin Republicans — the homocon LGBT group — announced September 14 that Melania Trump would headline their annual Spirit of Lincoln gala and receive the group's Spirit of Lincoln award.
According to the LCR, the award is given to "honor those who exemplify a commitment to enhancing personal freedom, encouraging individual responsibility, and ensuring equality under the law for all Americans."
This year the event will be held at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
In their press release announcing the gala, the LCR hit new lows in their now customary toadying to Trump.
"During and after her time in office, First Lady Melania Trump has proven time and again her leadership" on equality issues, it said.
"Moreover, in the heat of the presidential election last year, the First Lady passionately reiterated her husband's commitment to LGBT Americans, supported diversity of thought, and made clear that we are welcome members of the Republican Party, a historic moment not just for LGBT conservatives but for the history of the GOP."
Despite the LCR's press release puffery, SGN readers will remember many highlights of Donald Trump's "commitment to LGBT Americans":
According to the Washington Blade, Melania Trump has collaborated with the LCR on many occasions. During the 2020 election, she appeared in a video for Outspoken, the media arm of the LCR, saying "nothing could be further from the truth" that her husband is against LGBTQ people.
