Washington, D.C. has become a growing hub for openly gay conservative men since President Trump returned to office. Several gay Republicans relocated to the capital following Trump's victory over Kamala Harris last November and have formed a visible, rapidly expanding community. Many of these men work inside the administration and occupy prominent roles, with figures like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted. Members of this community describe themselves as mostly out and proud while expressing admiration for First Lady Melania Trump. Some on the gay left object to the administration's embrace of gay conservatives, and dissent remains alongside growth.
