The Log Cabin Republicans declined to endorse Donald Trump during the election, but once he won they declared they've been in "regular communication" with his team.

Now another gay Republican is insisting the president elect will be "a friend, an ally and an advocate for the LGBT community."

Christopher Barron, co-founder of the now defunct GOProud, wrote an op-ed for FoxNews.com this week, assuring everyone that the Trump victory is great news for gays.

"Despite the left's attempts to demonize Donald Trump as a homophobe during the campaign," he writes, "the truth was and is that Donald Trump is unquestionably, the Republican Party's most pro-gay presidential nominee in history."

That's not saying much. Not much at all.

Now Barron's no random apologist: After breaking away from the Log Cabin Republicans, he got Ann Coulter and Andrew Breitbart to sign on with GOProud. He also launched the "Gays for Trump" campaign and has defended the candidate on CNN and elsewhere.

He also claims to have engineered Trump's first political speaking gig, at CPAC in 2011.

In his op-ed, Barron praises the Donald's "passionate and sincere outreach to the LGBT community" in the wake of the Pulse nightclub attack, referring to his promise during the Republican National convention that he'd "protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.”

Hateful domestic ideology? Sorry, no dice.

It's strange, because back in March, Barron wrote a piece for The Guardian, essentially apologizing for helping to "create" Donald Trump the candidate.

"Trump... has turned off movement conservatives while attracting the political equivalent of the Stars Wars cantina. He has allowed his campaign to play footsie with xenophobes, white nationalists and unreconstructed bigots."

I expected that Trump would push the envelope, indeed I hoped he would break the rules. I did, however, believe that Trump would be guided by some sense of common decency. Instead his campaign has been more Andrew Dice Clay than Ronald Reagan – belittling POWs, women and the disabled.

Now that the Apprentice star is heading to the White House, though, Barron, a veteran PR flack, is singing a different tune. He insists Donald Trump "has long been a friend, an ally and an advocate for the LGBT community."

Of course Barron isn't what you would call a conventional ally of the LGBT community himself: He's staunchly pro-life, pro-NRA and opposes the Employment Non-Discrimination Act as "a solution in search of a problem."

He does support same-sex marriage, however—he and husband Shawn R. Gardner were married in D.C. in 2010. (Barron insists marriage "is and always has been a state's issue.")

But if you find yourself asking about the Republican party's record on gay rights, VP Mike Pence's record on gay rights or the GOP's 2016 campaign platform on gay rights, according to Barron they have no bearing.

"The Republican Party platform is a meaningless document," he declares. "It carries no legal weight... The vice president's position on LGBT issues doesn't matter, either... What matters is where the nominee of the party stands—and Mr. Trump has made it clear, in both words and deeds, where he stands on LGBT issues."

So all of you marching in the streets, wearing safety pins and calling your legislators can just chill.

"This is Donald Trump's GOP now and his new Republican Party is one that is not only open and accepting of LGBT Americans, it is a party committed to defending us."

Well, that's a relief. Who wants to pop open the bubbly?
