Last July, the president of the pro-LGBT Log Cabin Republican organization publicly thanked Donald Trump for his help in ending the Republican Party's long-standing defense of traditional marriage.
Mr. Moran's celebration that "inclusion won" caused more than a few Christian observers to roll their eyes. Time and again it is demonstrated that the policy and personnel objectives of LGBT sexual revolutionaries never seem to involve "including" people whose ideas about sexuality and gender differ from their own.
Beyond what the Trump-supported marriage surrender meant for Christians though, the fact that both major political parties had now given themselves over to the powerful LGBT social agenda was distressing to any person who cherishes the freedom of conscience.
Why? Well, now, just a handful of months into the Trump administration, the fruits of the compromise have already begun to appear.
That Kennedy Center VP was former MAGA activist and professing Christian, Floyd Brown. Brown posted a detailed account of the firing by Trump loyalist, and interim Kennedy Center head, Richard Grenell. The account included a statement Brown had given to CNN, following the network's inquiry into his "past writings and statements about traditional marriage and homosexual influence in the GOP."
Here is the 2023 clip that CNN was referring to:
Brown explained that he had requested to speak to Mr. Grenell (who is open about his homosexual lifestyle) and had asked for an explanation for his termination, but to this point has been ignored.
I asked for an explanation of my dismissal, and I asked to speak to Richard Grenell - Both of those requests have been ignored.
The only explanation is the one given to me at the time of my firing. 'Floyd, you must recant your belief in traditional marriage and your past statements on the topic, or you will be fired.' Needless to say, I refused to recant and was shown the door. My beliefs are much more common to Biblical Christianity.
My only conclusion is Richard Grenell was intimidated by a CNN story, which hasn't been aired or published, so he preemptively fired me for my Christian beliefs on marriage.
CNN seemed to exult in Brown's termination, taunting that the "anti-gay, Obama conspiracy theorist" had been fired following their probe. In other words, Brown was the next conservative scalp they could add to their collection.
You can watch their glee for yourself:
Fair enough; that's the kind of behavior everyone on the Right expects of CNN, and why the network has lost the faith and confidence of well over half the American population.
What was not expected, and what portends a tenuous future for the rights of conscience, is the Trump administration not just abiding, but overseeing and possibly condoning what would certainly appear to be faith-based discrimination.
