A group of LGBT Donald Trump supporters held an event at the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University on July 19, 2016 during the Republican National Convention. The “Wake Up!” event, billed as the “Most Fab Party at the RNC,” was sponsored by Breitbart News, Gateway Pundit and LGBTrump. Speakers included Milo Yiannopoulos, Pam Geller and Dutch Party of Freedom founder and MP Geert Wilders.

Photographer Lucian Wintrich displayed his works.

A group outside of the event protested with a “Queers against racism” banner.
