Former First Lady Melania Trump has decided to kick off the 2024 election season with a high-dollar fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans. It’s a big move that shows former President Donald Trump’s serious commitment to gaining support from the LGBT community, which has been a reliable base for the Democratic Party.
The event will also have Richard Grenell, a former acting director of national intelligence and the first openly gay person to serve in a Cabinet-level position, in attendance. It’s a sign that the Trump camp is serious about winning over LGBT voters.

In the 2020 election, about 7% of voters identified as LGBT, with a whopping 93% of them voting for Biden. Now, in 2024, that number has grown to over 8% of the adult population, with over 20% of Generation Z being part of the LGBT community. That’s a lot of potential votes up for grabs.
In 2020, Trump managed to double his support from the gay community, getting about 14% of the vote. And Log Cabin Republicans President Charles Moran is pretty confident that Trump can do even better in 2024. He believes that Trump is changing the game by embracing LGBT inclusion, and he’s got some valid points.
Despite their public image, Trump has shown support for gay marriage before taking office, and his appointments and policy decisions reflect an openness and acceptance of the LGBT community. This is the kind of thing that the mainstream media tends to overlook because they’re too busy promoting the narrative that Trump is anti-gay.
And it’s not just Trump making moves to court LGBT voters. President Biden recently launched “Out for Biden,” an initiative aimed at mobilizing LGBT support. It’s a clear indication that both parties recognize the growing influence of LGBT voters and are actively seeking their support.
So, as the 2024 election starts to heat up, it’s clear that both sides are taking the LGBT vote seriously. With Trump making bold moves to court LGBT support, and Biden launching his own initiatives aimed at the community, it’s going to be a fascinating battle for every vote.
