Beginning with the Dyke Rally and March, the L.A. Pride Festival 2019 bore the marks of leftist-political collectivism among the West Hollywood politicians and Christopher Street West organizers. Josh Herr, President of Log Cabin (LGBT) Republicans of Los Angeles described the group and their experience at the L.A. Gay Pride Fest, June 10, '18.
Visiting from Phoenix, AZ, Gay-American, Ed O'Reilly shares his perspectives, at Log Cabin Republicans booth at L.A. Pride Parade and Festival.
"Face It, Gays: Trump Is Our Friend" by David Benkoff in The Daily Caller May 5, 2018
"...Despite serious pressure from the president’s Evangelical allies, his long-anticipated executive order on religious liberty contained no license to discriminate against gays. As it had in January, the administration considered, then rejected, provisions to allow individuals and organizations to treat gays shabbily as long as they had a religious excuse.
But President Trump rejected the anti-gay language, throwing Evangelicals but a few crumbs facilitating church endorsements of candidates (which few of them want to do) and letting religious organizations decline to cover contraceptives (which gays do not use).
But LGBT Americans have now twice escaped such draconian measures, almost certainly because Trump and several members of his inner circle are sympathetic to gay concerns. More comfortable with a presidential bogeyman, the gay community and its allies actually spread rumors an anti-gay order was imminent, but it never came.
… Not so gay organizations. They ignored the breathtaking news of a disaster averted, and lambasted the president without identifying a single specific harm. Some of their pretzel-y twists aimed at fearmongering were amusing. Here’s the LGBT Equality caucus: “We cannot trust that this order will be narrowly utilized to not directly harm our community.”
Of course, Big Gay is never going to honor Trump’s heroic defense of LGBT Americans.
With yesterday’s news, Trump continues to fulfill his campaign promise to be a real friend to LGBT people. As president, Trump has kept Obama’s rules barring companies doing federal work from discriminating against LGBT people. He retained Randy Berry, a diplomat whose mission is to protect gay people from persecution abroad. His work is particularly urgent in light of the lethal assault on the gay community of Chechnya –which Trump’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has vocally condemned.
Other examples of Trump’s friendly stance: HIV/AIDS programs have been spared the large cuts to the health budget; and Trump’s controversial executive order on refugees specifically stated that the United States should not admit those who would oppress Americans “of any sexual orientation.”
When asked to detail their objections to Trump, liberal gay activists have got nothing but mischaracterizations:
Trump’s rule on transgender bathrooms mandated nothing, but rather gave schools the flexibility to handle locally a complicated issue balancing privacy and dignity. If Trump’s stance on this is transphobic, then Obama was transphobic for the first 7.5 years of his presidency, when he had the precise policy Trump now has.
No, Vice President Mike Pence is not a raging homophobe. If anything, Trump has influenced Pence on gay issues rather than the other way around.
It’s true Trump has not backed gay marriage, but that issue is defunct. Questioning him on marriage is like asking Democrats about racial quotas for government jobs. The Supreme Court has ruled definitively on both, so “gotcha” queries only drive a wedge between the politician’s most fervent supporters and more broadly popular positions.
Given the political calculus, Trump’s friendship to the gay community is stunning and unprecedented. Imagine if Barack Obama rejected a labor movement priority because it lacked fairness and compassion. Well, Trump won 80 percent of the white Evangelical vote but only 14 percent of the LGBT vote – yet time after time he has bucked his supporters and abetted his detractors.
Auspiciously, Trump’s popularity among Evangelicals has actually narrowed their political agenda to our benefit. For years, conservative Christians focused on abortion but pursued a social agenda that included opposition to gay rights. But by remaining steadfastly pro-life while refusing to budge on basic inclusion of gay Americans, Trump has forced conservative Christians to mute their antagonism toward homosexuality. That, perhaps, is the greatest kindness Trump has done for the gay community, and it is perplexing that Big Gay continues to fight him.

Leftist leaders drag L.A. Gay Pride Parade into anti-Trump ResistMarch; Resisting everything (except Muslim homophobia)
The Los Angeles pride parade was renamed the ResistMarch, and tens of thousands turned out, some carrying rainbow flags or signs reading ‘‘Love Trumps Hate’’ through Hollywood on Sunday 10 June. Speakers included US representatives Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Maxine Waters. Associated Press June 11, 2017 Since Hillary Clinton's electoral defeat, the Democratic and liberal/left parties have agitated to turn public support against the presidency of Donald J. Trump. Soros-funded, Alinsky communist agitators, Workers World Party (who also protested Mr. Trump's inauguration) consumed the traditional (LGBT) Pride Marches under the brand of RefuseFascism.Org - led #ResistMarches in various cities.

Who is behind WeResistTrump? The group’s website lists a single “organizer”: the Workers World Party (WWP). And who is the WWP? Not exactly a household name, the WWP is a small, hardcore communist party that has gained enormous influence over the past two decades by creating front group coalitions that exploit hot-button issues guaranteed to rile up the most combustible Clinton-Obama Democrats: open borders, LGBTQ issues, anti-war, “racial injustice,” anti-police, “social justice,” global warming, etc. The biggest coalition launched by the WWP comrades is ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), which has been a key leader of many aggressive (and often violent) demonstrations from the Iraq War protests to Occupy Wall Street occupations to pro-immigration (i.e., pro-illegal alien, pro-amnesty, anti-deportation) rallies to climate-change sit-ins.
Even when various events downplay (or omit altogether) the organizing leadership of WWP/ANSWER, their handprint is evident by the mere fact that a sea of black and yellow (the WWP color scheme) placards dominate the event. Here’s another “clue” for the clueless reporters of the establishment media: Those black and yellow signs invariably have “ANSWER” and “www.answercoalition.org” printed on them somewhere that is plainly visible. It’s really not that difficult; even a Journalism 101 student should be able to follow the trail.

The new march in L.A. is commonly referred to as the "anti-Trump March." Rep. Adam Schiff shares some of the issues he believes that the L.A. Pride organizers are offering an outlet to address in replacing the traditional Pride Parade this year with a social-political "Resist March."
America Ferrera opposes nationalism (conservatism) at L.A. Resist March
America Ferrara promotes liberal immigration policies and stridently talks "love" over her anger towards Trump and people who don't hate Pres. Trump.

ResistMarch drags trannys, LGBT towards far-leftist globalism, LGBT GOP's worry
Log Cabin Republican leader, Nestor Moto, Jr. reacts to West Hollywood Mayor and Christopher St. West dragging the traditionally inclusive LGBTQ L.A. Pride Parade towards a far-Leftist revolutionary "Resist March" stirring hysterics, fear, and social-division against Americans not in step with their agenda. Tyrannical subversives, like A.N.S.W.E.R. and Black Lives Matter were elevated and legitimized in the March and Rally. Mr. Moto says they seek to resume failed, liberal policies like open-borders and weakness against gay-hating Jihadism.
