Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, faced criticism from gay Republicans for a video posted by his campaign that highlighted rival Donald Trump's past statements in support of gay rights. The video, which contrasted Trump's support with DeSantis' conservative stance on transgender and LGBTQ+ rights, was deemed "homophobic" by critics. DeSantis has backed state laws restricting transgender rights as governor of Florida. Trump, who did not respond to the attack, criticized transgender women participating in women's sports at a rally. The Log Cabin Republicans, a conservative group advocating for gay rights, criticized DeSantis for venturing into "homophobic territory."
