I guess their being Republican trumps their being gay. <pun intended>
Pro-Trump gays banned from pride parade
Those who preach tolerance and equality are normally the least tolerant and least equal of all. That’s why I was not terribly surprised to learn that organizers of a gay pride parade in Charlotte, North Carolina, banned a group of pro-Trump gays.

“Gays for Trump” had submitted an application to display a float during this year’s Charlotte Pride parade.
“It was going to support Donald Trump,” group spokesman Derek Van Cleve told me. “It was going to be a patriotic float with American flags and a few ‘Make America Great Again’ flags.”
He also said the float would be populated with a number of drag queens – dressed as Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty.
“We wanted to have a couple of drag queens on the float dancing in ‘Make America Great Again’ dresses,” he said.
“All we wanted to do is let the community know the gay community does not speak for every single gay – just like the mayor of Pittsburgh does not speak for every single person in Pittsburgh,” Mr. Van Cleve said.
Charlotte Pride, which runs the parade, released a statement:
“In the past, we have made similar decisions to decline participation from other organizations espousing anti-LGBTQ religious or public policy stances,” the statement read.
