PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hundreds of guests in tuxedos of all styles — sequined, quilted, velvet — and colorful gowns sipped on Trump-branded champagne and martinis. Between courses of steak and bite-sized Key lime pie, they danced to “YMCA” and “Macho Man,” the disco anthems at Trump rallies.

Thursday night’s Log Cabin Republicans’ “Spirit of Lincoln” gala in the main ballroom of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago beachfront club was a joyous celebration of gay rights and — in a case of ironic timing — the historic same-sex marriage law signed by President Joe Biden days earlier.

The long-planned event in honor of the conservative LGBTQ organization’s 45th anniversary brought in Republican notables like former Ambassador Ric Grenell, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, who emceed the evening in a feathered turquoise gown, and former GOP gubernatorial candidate from Arizona Kari Lake, who was swarmed by guests eager to meet her and take a photo.

But the main attraction, obviously, was Trump. He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.

3. It's all about the money, mostly taxes.

I used to know a gay Republican, big Reagan fan, he was very conservative about financial things, came from a wealthy family. I never understood why he was a GOPer, especially considering how horribly Reagan handled the AIDS crisis. He has passed away a few years ago but I'm sure he'd be a Log Cabin Republican if he were still alive.

4. Probably figured

he could easily afford to charter a plane and be out of the country should the people he support decide its pink triangle time.

5. The Onion doesn't stand a chance these days. Life, these days, is so f'ing ironic, all by itself.
