Log Cabin Republicans Tear Apart Ron DeSantis For 'Homophobic,' 'Desperate' Anti-LGBTQ Ad [View all]

A conservative LGBT group took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday, arguing that a wild ad about his efforts to pass anti-LGBTQ legislation “ventured into homophobic territory.”

Log Cabin Republicans, which calls itself the country’s largest organization “representing LGBT conservatives and straight allies,” spoke out against a video shared by “DeSantis War Room,” a Twitter account describing itself as the 2024 hopeful’s rapid response team. The clip surveyed DeSantis’ support for laws targeting LGBTQ+ people in Florida.

“Today’s message from the DeSantis campaign War Room is divisive and desperate. Republicans and other commonsense conservatives know Ron Desantis has alienated swing-state and younger voters,” Log Cabin Republicans tweeted.

“Conservatives understand that we need to protect our kids, preserve women’s sports, safeguard women’s spaces and strengthen parental rights, but Ron DeSantis’ extreme rhetoric goes has just ventured into homophobic territory.”
