Political correctness prompted the LGBT Center of New York City to refuse to host a panel discussion on why so many gays and lesbians support Democrats, claims a gay supporter of President Trump.

“This is fascism. This is stifling free speech and dissent. A team of tyrants is trying to control the narrative for the LGBT community. They don’t want to allow an opposing view,” said Brandon Straka, a liberal-turned-conservative who founded #WalkAway, a movement aimed at encouraging Democrats to leave the party.

A flier describing the event, which included Straka and three other LGBT panelists, said, “More than 80% of LGBT Americans are voting Democrat. They use lies, fear mongering, fake news, hate and division to keep us coming back. We’re gonna change all that.” Straka paid a $650 rental fee to The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in Greenwich Village to serve as the venue.

Liberal gay activists launched a petition drive pressuring the LGBT Center to cancel the event, claiming Straka and the others are right-wing provocateurs who aid and abet white supremacists.

The LGBT Center pulled the plug on Straka’s Walk Away event March 21, a week before it was set to go on.

“In recent days we have learned that certain of the panelists announced for this event have made repeated, well-documented past statements that violate our mission, values and spirit of inclusiveness,” the center said.
