The Donald Trump campaign is selling apparel aimed at the LGBT community.
The campaign's store is selling a rainbow-colored “LGBTQ for Trump” button (2 for $5) and a men's t-shirt ($30).
Gay GOP group Log Cabin Republicans cheered the news.
“Donald J. Trump becomes the first Republican presidential candidate to offer official pro-LGBTQ merchandise with the unveiling of 'LGBTQ for Trump' apparel,” the group said in a Facebook post.
Log Cabin Republicans has yet to endorse Trump for president. In a press release earlier this month, the group said that it would survey members on whether it should endorse the Republican candidate.
Trump's outreach to the LGBT community includes a pledge at the Republican National Convention to protect “our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.”
He's also said that he's a better “friend” to the LGBT community that his political rival, Hillary Clinton, who last year kicked off her campaign with a video that included an engaged gay male couple and a lesbian couple.
