Gay Republicans plan ‘Shoot Back’ convention party for Trump



While prominent Republicans continue to come out in favor of anyone but Donald Trump for president, GOProud founder Chris Barron appears to believe the candidate when he says he’s good for “the gays” and is throwing his support behind the presumptive Republican nominee.

Barron’s fledgling group, LGBTrump, is even hosting a party in conjunction with the Republican National Convention called “Shoot Back.” The event popped up on Monday, according to Joe.My.God, and hasn’t gained much traction yet, with just two people invited and four “interested” in attending on Facebook.

The event is free to attend and promises “unity through defiance (and cocktails!):

#ShootBack is a party taking place during the GOP Convention. Organized by a coalition of gay Republicans who — like all Americans — were shaken by the tragic massacre in Orlando, our vision is to bring together the GOP community in a show of unity through defiance (and cocktails!) in support of Donald Trump.

That is as absurd as Black Republicans
as absurd as Republican Women and anyone else other that white male heterosexuals because that is the only group that the GOP thinks is deserved of any service provided.

The mere thought hurts my soul. Atleast the Repukes(Disclaimer below) don't use religion to denigrate Us...well, not in the last 50 years.

Disclaimer: By Repukes, I mean modern-day Conservatives. Dems were the conservatives during Lincoln's(Republican) era. Lincoln couldn't win a city council Repuke primary now.
