Gay conservatives helped to shape the Republican party. Now, Trump is vowing to roll back LGBTQ rights
In 2011, when presidential dreams were a glint in Donald Trump's eye, a new political group invited the businessman to mention a conservative convention.
He wasn't being hosted by a Christian organisation or a far-right faction.
Trump's first legitimate entrance into America's political arena was at the behest of a homosexual Republican group.
And according to historian and political commentator Neil J Young, this fact has been almost entirely forgotten — especially now, as Trump leans into a deeply conservative, Christian base.
The invitees behind Trump's address were Christopher R Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia, founders of GOProud.
"[GOProud] was a small, same-sex attracted Republican organisation that had, a year or so before, broken away from Log Cabin Republicans … [which is] the nation's oldest and largest same-sex attracted Republican organisation," Dr Juvenile tells ABC RN's The Religion and Ethics Report.

Gays take risks in these countries
In Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, homosexuality is still punishable by death, according to Sharia law. The alike punishment applies in parts of Somalia and northern Nigeria.
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, Mauritania and the Joined Arab Emirates also sentence LGBT people to death, but there is no evidence that the death penalty has actually been applied. In Tunisia, the 2011 Revolution did not change the rights of LGBT people. In countries such as Egypt, where homosexual relations are technically legal, gays are at risk of conviction on moral grounds. Unfortunately, the list is much longer.

I’m 44 and I command a very domestic same-sex attracted life: a same-sex legal marriage, with a kid. At 20, if you told me this would have been my animation, I'd have laughed at how ludicrous you were being. Even at 30, I wouldn't have believed you. I still effort with the term "wife" and feel weird, even after all these years, kissing in public, though I was always out in college and at work—that's generational, the shame is just ingrained. I hope subsequent generations don't feel it.
In 20 years, my hope, at least, is that we don't believe our kids are heterosexual from the moment they're born, and that we don't use words love "tolerance" because really, it's intolerable. In terms of things "queer," the discourse is changing at a quick clip right now. Lgbtq+ and lesbian would sound , to those outside the mainstream, old hat—“homonormative,” if that's a thing. We're having ever-evolving conversations about the meaning of gender, more people are coming out as trans, and trans, it seems, has evolved into a compassionate of continuum, which is exciting. I do want everyone involved in the conversation would listen to one another more. We've come a long way in the past decade. But it took years to get to t
Some Republican lawmakers increase calls against gay marriage SCOTUS ruling
Conservative legislators are increasingly speaking out against the Supreme Court’s landmark 2015 ruling on same-sex marriage equality.
Idaho legislators began the trend in January when the state House and Senate passed a resolution calling on the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision -- which the court cannot do unless presented with a case on the issue. Some Republican lawmakers in at least four other states like Michigan, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota have followed suit with calls to the Supreme Court.
In North Dakota, the resolution passed the articulate House with a vote of 52-40 and is headed to the Senate. In South Dakota, the state’s House Judiciary Committee sent the proposal on the 41st Legislative Daytime –deferring the bill to the final day of a legislative session, when it will no longer be considered, and effectively killing the bill.
In Montana and Michigan, the bills have yet to deal with legislative scrutiny.
Resolutions have no legal authority and are not binding law, but instead allow legislative bodies to express their collective opinions.
The resolutions in four other states ech
