On Wednesday night, the former President was speaking at a fundraiser for Republican House Candidate John Gibbs when someone in the crowd shouted, “Gays for Trump!”
Trump responded, “Where’s Gays for Trump?”
When a person in the crowd shouted, “We’re over here.” Trump pointed at them and said, “You don’t look gay.”
As the crowd laughed, Trump said, “We did great with the gay population, as you know.”

It is unclear what Trump meant by “look gay” or by “did great with the gay population.”
According to the Associated Press, 73% of LGBTQ voters supported Joe Biden.
In an interview with Newsweek, Peter Boykin, founder of Gays for Trump tried to explain Trump’s homophobic remarks, saying that Gays for Trump members “probably wouldn’t ‘look gay’ because it’s a stereotype that fits more with the typical ‘look’ of leftist LGBT.”
In 2020, The Human Rights Campaign released a list of Trump’s concerted attacks on LGBTQ communities. In a statement, they said, “The Trump-Pence administration is the most virulently anti-LGBTQ administration in decades — the RNC cannot put lipstick on a pig.”
