Caption: "Matthew Shuman, a leader of the Arizona chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans, said it “felt horrible” to watch his party adopt a platform that was strongly anti-LGBT. But he said his affiliation to the GOP goes deeper than any one issue."
Matthew Shuman looks forward to voting for Donald Trump this fall and said he agrees with the Republican Party on most everything, including its policies on national security, gun rights and economic liberalism.
Most everything.
Shuman, who shuttles between Scottsdale and Washington, D.C, where he works on veterans’ issues, is an openly gay member of a GOP that recently adopted “the most anti-LGBT platform the Republican Party has ever had.”
“I’m not a single-issue voter,” said Shuman, a vocal supporter of LGBT rights explaining his party membership. “If I wanted to vote on one issue, I would probably be a Democratic voter. But for me, it’s beyond that.”
His stance echoes that of the Log Cabin Republicans, a group whose message is that you can be a member of the LGBT community and still be a conservative.
