The conservative gay political group Log Cabin Republicans remain supporters of US President Donald Trump.

This despite his administration recently rescinding of guidelines put in place to protect transgender students in school.

‘Donald Trump is the most pro-LGBT Republican president in history,’ the group’s president Gregory T. Angelo tells Huffington Post.

‘I don’t think that this one decision on transgender guidance changes that. We have never had a Republican president who so candidly and openly discussed not only gay, not only lesbian, not only bisexual but transgender Americans as well.’

The group had refused to endorse Trump as their party’s presidential candidate but quickly began touting its ties to him after Trump’s improbable victory over Hillary Clinton last November.

Trump has said he is against same-sex marriage and most of the members of his cabinet have anti-LGBTI records.

There is also concern that Trump may yet sign a sweeping religious freedom Executive Order to make it legal to discriminate against LGBTI people and others.

A four-page draft is titled ‘Establishing a Government-Wide Initiative to Respect Religious Freedom’ was floated in February before The White House said Trump had no plans ‘at this time’ to sign it.

Says Angelo: ‘What I see time and again with Trump is someone who is trying to strike a balance. Trying to strike a balance between LGBT equality, LGBT advocacy organizations and people who prioritize so-called religious freedom and evangelical Christians.

‘And I don’t think that any one decision changes that as his rightful place as the most pro-LGBT Republican president.’
