Republican. Then I was the target of racial and homophobic harassment by MAGA Trump supporters last winter. I was harassed by Far-Right Republicans inspired by White Supremacist Nick Fuentes in Phoenix, Arizona in an incident that received international attention.
The harassment and the realization that the GOP has no real interest in neutralizing its extremist elements led me to leave the Republican Party—a decision I stand by.But my support for Trump is a different story.I'm still voting for Donald Trump this November.Trump is and has always been what I call a "New York City Republican." He is fairly liberal on social issues, including gay and lesbian support.
He made Ric Grennell the highest-ranking gay man ever to serve in a presidential cabinet in history when he was appointed the Acting Director of National Intelligence in early 2020.
I went on the campaign trail as a part of the "Trump Pride" Coalition in 2020.Still, my vote for Trump in the 2024 election was not guaranteed.
