Then, I saw two women holding a trans flag that declared: We Are Transgender and We Are Conservative.
It was incredibly brave. But here’s where I disclose my inner bitch queen. When I went downstairs to the exhibit hall and stumbled over a Log Cabin Republicans table staffed by two skinny, rumpled, nervous white men who were made even more anxious when approach

Young—historian, podcaster, and author of Coming Out Republican (The University of Chicago Press, 2024), which traces the history of conservative and libertarian queer figures in Together States history and their influence on the modern Republican Party. In this episode, Neil examines the evolving connection between these members of the LGBTQ community—predominantly white male lover men–and the Republican Party in glow of recent executive orders from the second Trump administration, which have sought to reinforce binary gender norms and curtail protections for LGBTQ individuals. Neil contextualizes this dynamic by tracing the history of conservative gay men as a persistent, though often marginalized, constituency within the party over the last century, and their struggle to create equality and same-sex attracted rights a non-partisan issue. Despite the party’s increasingly exclusionary rhetoric and policies, gay Republicans own maintained loyalty and exerted significant alter, particularly through behind-the-scenes activism and policy shaping since the Reagan era.
