In the waning hours of Jan. 20, as Donald Trump and his wife Melania danced on a rendition of Frank Sinatra’s My Way at the Freedom Ball, a different kind of celebration was taking place just a few miles away.
In Potomac, Md., the members of Gays for Trump hosted their Inaugural Deploraball. The attendees – not all of them were gays – had traveled from all over the country, ready to stand up to the criticism they’ve received from more liberal members of the gay community. “Theres no such thing as a traditional Republican anymore,” said Gays for Trump’s president Peter Boykin, who was the host and master of ceremonies. “They try to throw Gays for Trump in the Alt-Right [category] but I think we are the Alt-Alt-Right.”
At the door to the event Keith McLeod from Georgia was wearing a mask of Pepe the Frog, the fictional character that’s become a popular symbol of defiance among some people who self identify as “Deplorable,” a term used by Hillary Clinton to criticize some of Trump’s supporters.
McLeod, who made it clear that he wasn’t gay, had such a good time at the Gays for Trump event at the last RNC that he decided to join them again last night. “I’m so fed up with liberals you have no idea,” he told TIME. “I’m so glad they took a hit today. No one respects us anymore. Trump will make them respect us again.”
Andy Barr, another man who identified as a gay ally from Seattle and who donned a gold Lamé suit, met most of the people attending the event through Twitter. When asked about Vice President Mike Pence’s history on speaking out against gay marriage his response echoed a sentiment that many of the attendees throughout the night repeated: “He will not be the executive. Let’s give Mr. Pence the benefit of the doubt. We saw Mr. Trump holding the LGBT flag. Let’s see how it goes in the future.”
Boykin agreed. “People can grow,” he said, before adding that he had already registered the “Gays for Pence” trademark. For the master of ceremonies, the priority today is “to fight against the notion of the LGBT liberal.” During a late-night speech, he pushed his point. “I want to balance the LGBT community, not try to destroy the liberal LGBT community,” he said. “We need everybody out there together but we have to have a seat at the table.”

Marching about lies RT @Variety @aliciakeys @aliciakeys at #WomensMarch: "No hate. No bigotry. No Muslim registry." https://t.co/0dAy8erJAq— GlobalAwareness101 (@Mononoke__Hime) January 21, 2017
The #WomensMarch has NOTHING to do with equality or women. You invited CAIR, who hates women, gays, & Jews. #FakeMarch #SaturdayMorning— Scott Presler VA (@ScottPresler) January 21, 2017
CAIR is org. tied to radical Islamic terror & is at #WomensMarch.— Scott Presler VA (@ScottPresler) January 21, 2017
✔️LGBTQ murder
✔️Women enslavement
✔️Pedophilia
That's not equality.
Can anyone tell me why the #WomensMarch excluded a Pro-Life feminist group?— Scott Presler VA (@ScottPresler) January 21, 2017
Because this has nothing to do w/ equality.#SaturdayMorning
@andynedelrey Yet you invite CAIR to join you, who hates women, gays, and Jews. You make no sense.— Scott Presler VA (@ScottPresler) January 21, 2017
@andynedelrey You're supporting a march, who invited a gay-hating, women-hating group.— Scott Presler VA (@ScottPresler) January 21, 2017
That's approval. That's approval of this hate.
open your mind to this absurd argument this Women's March female activist just made in tweet above in response to Scott asking why pro-life group was excluded. She said, "because pro-life doesn't allow women the right to choose." Check it. The glaring obvious truth is that the Left and so-called pro-choice advocates ARE BANNING, ostracizing people who DO NOT agree with them period. So women in their mindframe CAN ONLY CHOOSE to be pro-abortion get it?! Women in their mindframe ARE NOT ALLOWED to choose to be pro-life. Check it. They are DENYING women the right to choose. Twisted garbage. The so-called anti-fascist activist are acting like FASCIST.
All the Marxist Islamist Left does is lie, lie, lie. That's the only way they are able to get support. SO, to set the record straight, Woman and Gays ARE NOT LOSING THEIR RIGHTS IN AMERICA! My gosh people! President Trump had a FEMALE campaign manager, the first FEMALE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER IN OUR US HISTORY. AND Trump has gays working in his administration. The most prominent gay person working for Trump is the CEO of Paypal. [emphasis mine]

Nothing says women's rights more than glorifying a religion that enslaves and oppresses women. #WomensMarch pic.twitter.com/XjuxrjEc95— Elizabeth® (@MissLizzyNJ) January 21, 2017
Hate-filled Leftist terrified that Trump wants to wipe out her friends' and allies' hobby, Islamic terrorism. https://t.co/dxdn6Ynw5Q— Robert Spencer (@jihadwatchRS) January 21, 2017
This is a terrifying speech. The biggest cheer of all came when Trump promised to wipe out 'Islamic' terrorism. #TrumpInauguration— Laurie Penny (@PennyRed) January 20, 2017
oooh really now @PennyRed you are so damn powerful that YOU LOST the election, not just the presidency, but many elections across America.— GlobalAwareness101 (@Mononoke__Hime) January 22, 2017
Fyi @KenRoth @hrw the people Trump demonized are Islamist terrorist, cop killers, Mexican drug cartels, & gang banging murderers. Criminals!— GlobalAwareness101 (@Mononoke__Hime) January 21, 2017
