Last week, New York Times Magazine published a much-talked-about profile of the LGBT Right in the Trump era. The article is a roller coaster of a read, painting vivid scenes of drunken failed flirtations at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, transgender women aiming to win hearts and minds at the colorfully eccentric Conservative Political Action Conference, and even a gay cowboy politician campaigning at an Oklahoma country bar.
The feature is unquestionably worth the long read for entertainment’s sake alone. However, as a gay libertarian professional and current executive board member of the DC Log Cabin Republicans, I feel that the article is light on articulating what the future of the LGBT Right will look like. That is to say, what policies, if any, will unite us as a political group moving forward?
