Key Trump aide, Ric Grenell, says ‘anti-gay’ Republicans now so unpopular they should be ‘run out’ of the GOP

By Peter LaBarbera, June 1, 2025

Dear Reader: As Center For Morality/AmericansForTruth.news resumes publishing after a long hiatus, we visit a little-noticed Rumble interview between Don Trump, Jr. and Ric Grenell, a longtime Trump loyalist who has become one of the most influential open homosexuals in President Trump’s political and governing sphere. This interview was posted more than a year ago, on May 2, 2024, but it is highly relevant to a new controversy involving Grenell: the firing last week of longtime conservative Christian activist Floyd Brown from a Trump-appointed position designed to reform the “woke” Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, D.C. In a May 29 X post, Brown claims that Grenell fired him as VP of the Kennedy Center for not renouncing his past strong opposition to homosexual “marriage,” and for criticizing “gay Republicans” for undermining the GOP’s socially conservative Platform. (We will have more on the Floyd Brown firing, which has outraged many Christian Trump supporters, in future posts).–Peter LaBarbera, publisher; on X @PeterLaBarbera

A key Trump aide, former Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell, says Republicans’ opposition to homosexuality has softened so much in recent years that “there’s no debate about [gay] “equality” in the GOP and being “anti-gay” could lead to people being “run out” of the party.

“I’ve watched how [conservatives have] changed on gay issues. … at this point, there’s no debate about [gay] equality,” the openly gay Grenell told former President Donald Trump’s son, Don Trump, Jr., in a May 2, 2024 interview on the latter’s show, “Triggered. ” “And now I really believe that you can’t be anti-gay in the Republican Party and not be run out of the party.”

“It’s really important for people to understand … that the [pro-gay] growth in the Republican Party has been enormous. Donald Trump has blown the doors off this process to really welcome gay conservatives in,” Grenell said excitedly, before tearing into the “gay Left.”

Grenell was appointed by then-President Trump (45) as U.S. Ambassador to Germany, before rising to Acting Director of National Intelligence, a cabinet-level position, in 2020. He is widely popular in MAGA world for his Trump loyalty and his strong defense of Trump’s “America First” foreign policy. In the current administration, Trump appointed Grenell as Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions of the United States. 

Grenell’s cocksure assertion about the unpopularity of Republicans who oppose homosexuality—in line with pro-homosexual-“marriage” and pro-“gay parenting” statements by other leading homosexual conservatives (also called “HomoCons” or “GayCons”) like Dave Rubin—signals a growing confidence, bordering on arrogance, among this tiny portion of the Republican “big tent.”

With a shared self-interest in rationalizing their disordered sexual lifestyle, the GayCons have skillfully exploited Trump’s social liberalism and apathy toward GOP “culture war” politics. Trump’s nonchalance toward homosexuality goes way back; in fact, he was “introduced to conservatives at the annual CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committee) conference in D.C. in 2011 by activists with GOProud, a splinter group for homosexual Republicans that is now defunct.

Most Republicans probably are unaware that Trump as a New York City businessman once strongly advocated for “gay rights,” as he did most emphatically in a 2000 interview with the homosexual magazine The Advocate, in which he proposed making homosexuality part of U.S. civil rights law.

“I like the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation. It would be simple. It would be straightforward. We don’t need to rewrite the laws currently on the books,” Trump told the Advocate, responding to the question: “What would you do to combat antigay prejudice?”

“But amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans—it’s only fair,” he said. “I actually suggested this first, and now I see [then-Democrat presidential candidate Senator] Bill Bradley has jumped on the bandwagon and is claiming the idea as his own.”

Twenty-five years later, with their legion of conservative media followers and allies, the GayCons make up a powerful force that could propel the Trump-dominated GOP to permanently abandon its longstanding Platform defending traditional marriage and opposing legal “rights” based on sex-and-gender aberrance.

If Grenell, other prominent homosexual conservatives and their libertarian allies succeed, they would effectively chop off one leg of Ronald Reagan’s cherished “three-legged stool” formula for electoral success in the Republican Party: 1) fiscally conservative tax-and-spending policies; 2) strong national defense and “peace through strength” foreign policy; and 3) traditional, pro-family and pro-life policies.

Surely, changing social attitudes, especially among Millennials and younger voters, are also driving the change in Republican approaches toward “gay” issues. But principled social conservatives and pro-lifers, mostly the biblically faithful evangelicals, traditional Catholics and religious voters who have long been considered the GOP’s voting base, find themselves increasingly alienated and ostracized by the gay-allied power-brokers in the GOP and conservative media.

Will the GOP go officially ‘gay’?

As a clearer picture emerges of Team Trump’s (including First Lady Melania’s) pro-homosexual-rights bent, and how unencumbered the President is by potential resistance from “the evangelicals,” as he calls them, it is time for principled social conservatives to come to grips with the real possibility that a President Trump 2.0 could transform the GOP into an officially pro-same-sex-“marriage” party.

A similar sea-change in core values occurred in the U.K.’s Conservative Party more than a dozen years ago under then-Prime Minister David Cameron, who bucked Tory social conservatives by advocating for legalizing “gay marriage” in the U.K., becoming an unlikely crusader for homosexual “rights.” The first legal homosexual “marriages” occurred in England in 2014.

In this scenario, a “modernized” GOP could officially sanction “gay marriage” (and gay adoption, etc.)—and even help deliver another public policy prize long coveted by LGBTQ+ activists (the “Equality Act”): making homosexuality, transsexuality and other “queer” lifestyles and identities the basis for federal “civil right” law, just like race.

EXCLUSIVE: Kamala Harris LGBTQ ‘Pride’ Video Features Cropped Photo from Pro-NAMBLA Event

Original “WE MARCH WITH NAMBLA” slogan from same pro-“Man/Boy Love” press conference cut out of Harris video

By Peter LaBarbera, Nov.4, 2024

AmericansForTruth.news/Center For Morality exclusive

A 2022 “LGBTQ rights” video on Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ YouTube channel features a photo from a 1994 pro-NAMBLA press conference in which leftist “gay liberation” activists proclaimed the message: “We March with NAMBLA.”

NAMBLA is the acronym for the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a much-despised group that advocates for sex between men and underage boys. In the early days of “gay liberation,” some prominent homosexual activists fought, ultimately without success, to include NAMBLA in the emerging “gay” coalition. The “Spirit of Stonewall” press event was called to condemn New York City’s homosexual “gay pride” parade organizers for banning the notorious pederasty group from their parade on the 25th anniversary of the “birth” of the modern, out-and-proud “gay liberation” movement.

NAMBLA’s website, in 2010, described “man/boy love” — its euphemism for (predatory) sexual “relationships” between men and boys — as follows: “It’s the love of a man for a boy, and of a boy for a man. Enjoyable, consensual, beautiful.” NAMBLA was allowed to march in early American “gay pride” parades before it was expelled.

The 1994 documentary “Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys” exposed NAMBLA by showing “the pedophiles discuss sexual relationships between men and boys below the age of consent,” according to a description on Vimeo of the film, which “has been screened for the FBI, university criminology departments and other law enforcement agencies.”

Kamala Harris, a longtime, ardent advocate of LGBTQ agendas, routinely touts her experience as a prosecutor prosecuting sex traffickers.

The photo included in the Kamala Harris video (see video at bottom starting at the 1:04 mark) shows pro-NAMBLA advocate Harry Hay and other gay activists speaking in front of a “Spirit of Stonewall (SOS)” banner. Two “Spirit of Stonewall” placards are shown in the photo, but the full images of the signs are not visible. What’s missing are the words, all capitalized: “WE MARCH WITH NAMBLA,” at the bottom of the signs. This is proved by an archived photo of the same “SOS” press event found in the San Francisco Public Library.

The SFPL photo, titled, “Spirit of Stonewall (S.O.S.) Press Conference at Stonewall Inn,” shows five “SOS” placards at the same event with the identical message, “WE MARCH WITH NAMBLA,” at the bottom. The digitally-archived photo documents the same event as the photo in the Kamala Harris “Pride Month” video, as evidenced by the identical clothing of the participants and other elements shared by both photos.

Left-wing “gay liberationists” including homosexual-rights icon Harry Hay held their own “Spirit of Stonewall” counter-rally and press conference to defend NAMBLA against what they perceived as the increasing assimilationist tendencies of gay activist leaders. In New York City and other major American cities, and across the Western world, gay/LGBTQ “pride” parades are held in June to commemorate the anti-police riots at a Mafia-run Greenwich Village homosexual bar called the Stonewall Inn, beginning in late June of 1969. LGBTQ historians have cast the anti-cop riots as a heroic “rebellion” and heralded them as launching the modern “gay liberation” movement.

Below is a larger copy of the San Francisco Public Library image of the “Spirit of Stonewall” press conference with its defiant “WE MARCH WITH NAMBLA” slogan:

Ironically, in the section of the Kamala Harris video showing the gay activists speaking at their pro-NAMBLA event, the Vice-President is heard saying a line from her speech to a major LGBTQ lobby group: “We are a nation that was founded on noble ideals.”

Below is a transcript of Kamala Harris’ narration of the portion of the video containing the “Spirit of Stonewall” photo:

:56 The fight for LGBTQ rights is a fight for civil rights.

And until all of us are equal, none of us are equal, and none of us will receive justice.

1:04 We are a nation that was founded on noble ideals. We’ve not yet met those ideals. We’ve not yet reached them.

1:11: But the strength of who we are is we will fight to get there, based on knowing that when we are in a fight born out of optimism, we win.

Harry Hay’s pro-NAMBLA advocacy

NAMBLA proudly documents the pro-“man/boy love” advocacy of “gay rights” icon Harry Hay, who died in 2002. Hay was the first American to envision homosexuals collectively as a “minority” deserving “rights.” He founded the Mattachine Society, the first successful “national” homosexual activist group, in 1950, when homosexuality was taboo. 

The left-leaning, pro-LGBTQ Wikipedia, in a lengthy entry on Hay, quotes Hay biographer Stuart Timmons, who describes Hay as the “Founder of the Modern Gay Movement,” and another source, the Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures, describing him as the “father of gay liberation.” 

On its website, NAMBLA gives the following as a transcription from a videotape of Hay’s remarks at the 1994 “Spirit of Stonewall” (SOS) press conference. Note how Hay, a former Communist Party USA member, recasts “child molestation” away from homosexual man-on-boy predation to the “outrageous coercion of gay kids into hetero identities and behaviors against their wills.” This is the same self-serving rhetorical tactic that would later be used by San Francisco “gay” activist Harvey Milk, who himself was victimized as a 14-year-old boy by homosexual predators, and who would go on to enter into a live-in homosexual “marriage” with a teenage boy when he was in his thirties. Hay said at the “SOS” event:

Sir Julian Huxley, the great English biologist, said, at the beginning of this century, no negative trait—and, as you know, a negative trait is one that does not reproduce itself—no negative trait ever appears, and reappears, millennia after millennia after millennia, unless it in some way serves the survival of that species. We gays and lesbians may embody, or have discovered, some things that you folks desperately need to know about.

I’m here today as a survivor, as well as the founder of the first ongoing gay organization in the United States, the Mattachine Society, first formed in 1950 in Los Angeles, and now, naturally, a member of SOS, the Spirit of Stonewall, because things we discovered about ourselves and principles we developed in 1950 to ‘53 are now being trashed by queers who don’t know their own history, all over the place.

We decided from the beginning that, first, because we were still discovering our parameters, we wouldn’t censure each other. If people like NAMBLA self-identify themselves to me as gays and lesbians, I accept them as brothers and sisters with love.

Second, when we decided to rejoin the social or political mainstream again, we would integrate as the group we saw ourselves to be, complete with our own set of values, or we would not integrate at all.

And third, we would no longer permit any heteros—nationally or internationally, individually or collectively—to tell us who we are, what persons our groups should or should not consist of. We assert our right to self-determination, we assert our right to collective self-definition. We queers will decide for ourselves who our members should be.

Members of SOS, notably NAMBLA, have been accused of child molestation. Insofar as child molestation is concerned, the most common form is the sexual coercion by which gay and lesbian children are bedeviled into hetero identities and behaviors. And this is practiced daily by the whole national and international hetero community—parents, family, teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers, and Indian chiefs, not to overlook U.S. senators and pooh-bah media.

This outrageous coercion of gay kids into hetero identities and behaviors against their wills is not only sexually abusive, it is spiritually devastating rape, because the child unbeknowingly is being led into developing self-loathing at the same time. For this gigantic criminal trespass against not only today’s children but against all of us also—all of us—since childhood, from the queers my age of 82 down through all the generations of queers assembled here in New York, to the gay kids still being bedeviled by sexual coercion against their wills, we the international gay and lesbian people here this week should unite to sue the whole guilty heterosexual community lock, stock, and barrel to within an inch of their lives, and for every nickel they’ve got, as a beginning of compensation. And while we’re at it, we should request our first-class citizenship as well. This could be the class-action suit of the century.

AUDIO: LaBarbera Explains to ‘Crosstalk’ Radio Why Most ‘Queer’ Activists Cannot Say NO to LGBTQ+ Perversions

‘Polyamory’ — multiple-partner ‘non-monogamous relationships’ — latest sexual deviancy to receive media promotion

Note to AmericansForTruth.news Readers:

The Christian radio network Milwaukee-based VCY America and especially its daily “Crosstalk” program, hosted by Jim Schneider, has been one of the most faithful ministries in the USA exposing radical “Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer-Plus” (LGBTQ+) agendas. It has been my privilege to have appeared on Crosstalk many times in the last couple of decades to disseminate truth, first with VCY founder Vic Eliason and then Jim. In my most recent appearance, January 31, 2024, Jim and and I discussed the further explosion of perversion under the Homosexual-Bisexual-Transgender (aka “Queer”) umbrella. — Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.news; X (formerly Twitter): @PeterLaBarbera

You can listen to the program on SermonAudio HERE or by clicking on the play button below:

The following is Crosstalk’s description of the program:

Increasingly, the push for full acceptance and promotion of the LGBTQ+ agenda is advancing.  In fact, According to one poll, 28% of Gen-Z adults are identifying as LGBTQ.  

The result?  Women’s sports are being decimated and dominated by men who are identifying as women.  Leading up to the Super Bowl, the NFL is committed to bowing to the diversity, equity and inclusion movement as it will be hosting the third annual, “A Night of Pride” with GLAAD during Super Bowl Week.  Politically, additional LGBTQ+ appointments to the federal bench are being made by the Biden administration, while polyamory is on the increase.

Are we fast approaching the days of Lot?  That’s a question to ponder as Crosstalk welcomed Peter LaBarbera back to Crosstalk.  Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth.  He’s a former reporter for the Washington Times and LifeSiteNews.com and a former contributing editor for Human Events.

The Public Religion Research Institute is the organization making the claim that 28% of Gen-Z adults (ages 18-25) are identifying as LGBTQ.  Peter doesn’t completely believe that figure because he contends that the PRRI is a liberal polling group and that it’s in their interest to promote progressive ideas in religion and Christianity.  Nonetheless, he found out from Gallop in early 2022 that based upon polling from the previous year, 20.8% of Gen-Z’ers were identifying as LGBT.  

Peter believes this crisis is the result of the “mainstreaming” of perversion toward young people and that this activity expands the list of perversions.  This broadcast demonstrates what recent history has shown us in this regard and that since homosexuality was normalized, in the name of diversity, you can’t say “no” to other perverse lifestyles such as transgenderism or polyamory.  

Peter’s concern is that the only way out of this cascading deviance is revival because we’re at the stage where young people simply see homosexuality as normal. In fact, they almost see it as “square.”  Instead the cutting edge thing is to be non-binary or gender fluid.  

From the LGBTQ perspective, mainstreaming through indoctrination is working and it’s hitting America like a flood because like an open dam, the boundaries have been removed.  The flood is hitting everyone, especially young people, and they’re being offered numerous identity options, all based upon subjective feelings, that go beyond the letters, LGBTQ.

NYC Taxpayers Paid for Perverted Film that Fondly Recalls Homosexual Orgies in Public Restrooms in World Trade Center Towers Before 9/11 Terror Attack

Short gay ‘cruising’ documentary funded by ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio arts grant celebrates “meaningful public sex encounters” in WTC bathrooms, stairwell

 :

WARNING: Contains graphic, offensive and crude descriptions of male-on-male sodomitic acts.

By Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.News exclusive, November 16, 2022 [reprint information at bottom]

STORY ESSENTIALS (full story is after jump):

• A New York City government arts program launched in 2021 by former Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a $5,000 grant to a homosexual filmmaker for a salacious short film, “Trade Center.” The film [see full transcript below] fondly reminisces about secret gay men’s orgy spaces in the World Trade Center, e.g., public restrooms and staircases before the twin towers were destroyed by Islamic terrorists on September 11, 2001.

• The eight-minute “documentary” by homosexual filmmaker and pornography site writer Adam Baran gives an oral history “sex tour” of the pre-9/11 WTC complex. It fondly remembers gay “cruising” sites at the twin towers where men would meet furtively to engage in deviant sex acts with other men. Creator Adam Baran writes: “our five subjects describe their memories of meaningful public sex encounters in each [orgy] location.” The film’s narrator speculates that men who were “cruising” for anonymous sex in the buildings perished when the towers were hit.

• The taxpayer-funded “Trade Center” was released on Vimeo September 7, 2021, coinciding with the 20^th anniversary of the Al-Qaeda terror attack targeting the twin towers that took nearly 3,000 innocent lives in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.

• “Cruising” for homosexual, impersonal “public sex” in restrooms, parks, etc., predates the modern, post-Stonewall-riots, political gay-rights era. It is less common nowadays with the rise of digital phone apps like the GPS-assisted Grindr that efficiently cater to horny homosexual men seeking instant, anonymous, sodomitic hook-ups with other men nearby.

• This libidinous, hyper-promiscuous side of male homosexual sub-culture is rarely covered by the dominant, “mainstream” media, which focuses primarily on the cultural visibility and political “rights” aspects of the LGBTQ+ movement. Historically, high-risk, anonymous sex has been downplayed by “gay” activists trying to mainstream homosexuality. Nevertheless, it is linked to rampant STDs and health maladies among “men who have sex with men” (MSM). For example, the recent monkeypox viral outbreak, which overwhelmingly affected gay and bisexual men, is specifically linked to men who had “multiple sex partners” with other men, often at orgiastic gay sex parties accompanying LGBTQ “pride” festivals. 

• The pro-pornography Baran views “Trade Center” as an important historical work covering a segment of “gay” life. What he calls “meaningful public sex” is part of the Left’s “sex-positive” agenda, which eschews any moral limits to sexual behavior. The film’s raunchy subject matter did not stop it from receiving plaudits from “woke” film groups and the video streaming company Vimeo, which bans Christian ministry’s and church videos that oppose homosexuality. Another short film by Baran features a 14-year-old boy who is spurred on by a gay porn star in his quest to secure homosexual pornographic magazines.

Dr. Michael Brown: Don’t Forget the LGB (Homosexuality) When Pushing Back Against the T (Trans Agenda)

Folks, this is an important piece by my friend, Dr. Michael Brown, who has been one of America’s most fearless “Culture War” defenders of biblical sexual morality in the last few decades. Mike is right on here. It saddens me that so many conservatives have become “moral relativists” of sorts who, even as they push back strongly against the radical “trans” agenda, have largely gone silent against what most on the Right used to call “the gay agenda.” (Conservatives love patriotic God-talk but it seems many would follow a “GOP” version of the Bible, which, if it existed, would give a pass on the Sin of Sodom to Republicans and Libertarians.)

The emergence of “gay”-affirming “conservatism” is intellectually dishonest and morally/spiritually craven. The truth is: the Bible unequivocally proscribes homosexuality as sinful. Moreover, deviance begets deviance, and there would be no Big Trans and Big LGBTQ+ (beware the “+”!) agendas without the media-driven triumph of the “Gay” revolution. Stay principled, even if that means defying the present zeitgeist, because ultimately it’s God’s Truth, not ours. — Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.news; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera (PS. Sign up for Dr. Brown’s weekly updates HERE; you won’t regret it!)

Let’s Not Forget the LGB When Pushing Back Against the T

By Dr. Michael Brown

Reprinted from the Ask Dr. Brown website, Sept. 19, 2022

It is not just Christian conservatives who are pushing backing against transgender activism these days.

Prominent liberals, along with well-known gay and lesbian activists, have also been raising their voices, especially when it comes to transitioning Schildren. Together with conservatives, they are protesting the insanity of biological males competing against biological females or against putting young children on puberty blockers and performing sex-change surgery on minors.

But that is only one side of the coin.

The flip side of all this is that homosexual practice has become more and more accepted to the point that fewer and fewer conservatives will tackle it head on.

VIDEO: ‘Detransitioner’ Chloe Cole’s Nashville Speech: Calls Pro-Trans-Surgery Doctors and Therapists ‘Butchers and Liars’

“I fell victim to the idea that I was actually a boy trapped within a girl’s body.”

The following is “detransitioner” Chloe Cole’s speech at the Daily Wire-sponsored ““Rally to End Child Mutilation” rally in Nashville October 21, 2022. I was deeply moved by this speech, and which everyone could hear it. As if this young woman wasn’t already brave enough, as she spoke she was heckled by crazed, pro-trans protesters trying to drown out her and other speakers by yelling things like “[F–k] you, Fascist.” (Like fascists and communists everywhere throughout history, American leftists routinely try to shout down, or shut down, speech they do not like.) This rally at the state capitol was part of a GOP-led effort in Tennessee to ban so-called “gender affirming transition care”–mutilations masquerading as trans “surgeries” and cross-sex “hormone therapy”–for minors. You can donate to Chloe Cole HERE.

Video: Ex-‘Gay’ Doug Mainwaring on the Quiet Rise of LGBTQ Influence in Christian and Conservative Circles

Folks, this is an important presentation by my good friend Doug Mainwaring, who is as brave and principled a pro-family advocate as I’ve ever known. Doug, who is ex-“gay” and writes for LifeSiteNews (where I once worked), has been a leading, albeit lonely, voice in urging the Right not to abandon the traditional, age-old conservative defense of Judeo-Christian morality. In this case, that means NOT latching on to a newfangled, libertarian brand of “conservatism” that not only tolerates, but celebrates homosexual unions–you know, the Republican ones (think Dave Rubin, Rick Grenell, Guy Benson, etc.)–ostensibly for political gain.

Last I checked, there was no “GOP exception” in Romans 1 and other passages of the Bible proscribing homosexual behavior as sinful. Moreover, among the many reasons to oppose legalized same-sex “marriage” (no matter what the courts rule) is that it provides a launching pad for the inevitable pleas to recognize “gay unions” in the Christian Church, always in the name of compassion. Normalizing sexual perversion is not and never will be a “conservative” value, nor a compassionate one. 

You can find links to many of Doug’s excellent LSN articles on his bio page, and the LifeSiteNews description of this video is at bottom. We’ll have much more to report on this issue.–Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.news; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera 

LifeSiteNews description of video:

The ascendancy of LGBT values into mainstream conservatism and Christian beliefs did not occur overnight. In his talk given at the Henkel Conference held in Nashville, TN from August 22-23, LifeSiteNews U.S. Bureau Chief Doug Mainwaring, a formerly pro-gay libertarian, talks about his personal conversion, the way the LGBT agenda has gained a strong foothold in politically-right communities, and the threats to children and families posed by this dynamic.
