The Republican Pride Coalition, officially known as the Republican National Committee Pride Coalition, is an American organization created in 2021 intended to be the official affiliated wing for LGBT conservative members of the Republican Party. It was first announced in 2021 by Republican National Committee chairperson Ronna McDaniel, in preparation of the 2022 elections.[1]
It is closely affiliated with the organization Log Cabin Republicans.[1][2]
History[edit]
The Republican Pride Coalition was first announced during a 2021 meeting of the Log Cabin Republicans. During the event, McDaniel stated that LGBT Republicans "don’t just share our vision for a free, secure and prosperous America — they enrich it".[3] Other attendants included Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and Richard Grenell.[2] Shortly after it was announced, the organization was criticized by certain evangelicals within the Republican base, who often have negative views of LGBT individuals,[3] although a recent polling has indicated that a majority of Republican voters are in favor of same-sex marriage.[4]
The official platform of the Republican Party, which hasn't been updated since the 2016 presidential election and will not be updated until at least 2024, opposes same-sex marriage.[3]
