The modern Democratic platform has become indefensible on almost every front.

People often ask me “How can you be gay and a Republican?”

Here’s the reason: The Republican Party is far from perfect. I disagree with plenty of its execution and some of its craziest voices. But when I look at actual policy, I still find the Republican platform to be infinitely more aligned with my values – and American principles- than today’s Democrats.

The modern Democratic platform, as I see it, has become indefensible on almost every front:

– Open borders and de facto amnesty for illegal immigration
– Abortion on demand, up to birth, paid for by taxpayers
– Soft-on-crime policies that put criminals’ comfort above victims’ safety
– Irreversible medical transitions for minors framed as “gender-affirming care”
-Expanding welfare and foreign aid programs that redistribute wealth from productive citizens to people who hate this country
– Opposing common sense voter ID laws that exist in every other modern nation
– Race-based, anti-white discrimination rebranded as “equity”
– Rule by unelected bureaucrats and administrative state overreach
– Climate hysteria and anti-energy independence
– Entrenched elitism and disdain for working class and rural Americans
– Moral equivocation (or outright sympathy) toward Hamas and other terrorist groups
– Censorship and cancellation disguised as “combating misinformation”
– Hostility toward entrepreneurs and job creators
– Reflexive anti-capitalism
– Contempt for traditional religious values, especially Christianity
– Celebration of political violence against conservatives
– Attacks on property rights and due process
– Denial of basic biological reality

These aren’t fringe Democrat positions. These are the mainstream views held by millions and pushed by the party’s leaders.

I’m a gay man who believes in individual liberty, capitalism, secure borders, rule of law, free speech, and the protection of children. On those core principles, the Republican Party – flawed, messy as it is (ex tariffs) – still comes far closer than the alternative. And because the Republicans stand in the way of the most destructive Democrat designs, I’ve joined their team.

That’s why. No apologies 🇺🇸
