Meghan McCain is no friend to the LGBTQ+ community.
Why say that?
Though in public she does performative allyship, she has no record to speak of when it comes to the support of queer or trans people. Her husband Ben Domenech is the founder of The Federalist, a right-wing publication with a long history of anti-LGBTQ+ material, most recently anti-trans material.
McCain is a vocal supporter of the Republican Party which has repeatedly included anti-LGBTQ+ statements in their official party platform. There are GOP initiatives being pushed across the United States attacking the rights, health and safety of trans people.
The GOP was also very vocal in their opposition to the Equality Act. Republican leadership also supports non-church affiliated secular public businesses' and healthcare providers' "right" to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people under the 1st Amendment.
So Meghan McCain's "Happy Pride Month!" tweet fell flat.

Inspires you how? You steadfastly support a party that wants to erase us\u2026https://twitter.com/meghanmccain/status/1399833473519652872\u00a0\u2026— Brahm Kornbluth (he/him) (@Brahm Kornbluth (he/him)) 1622670181

This coming from the wife of the guy who runs The Federalist. From a woman who supports a party hell-bent on removing LGBTQ rights. Guurrrrrrlll please. Get over yourself. We don\u2019t claim you, we had a meeting.https://twitter.com/meghanmccain/status/1399833473519652872\u00a0\u2026— Jeebs Unabia (@Jeebs Unabia) 1622662360
But Meghan McCain got hate from the conservative side for her tweet.
The people she claims to represent on The View let her know homophobia and transphobia are core beliefs.

A month celebrating pride- one of the seven deadly sins. Classic.— Sayers Collins (@Sayers Collins) 1622587021
Love them hardcore conservative principles, Meghan!— Steven Jarod Powell (@Steven Jarod Powell) 1622582084
We can\u2019t have that.— Deplorable Dave (@Deplorable Dave) 1622582093
The irony the lip-service gets her no support from the left yet earns her backlash from the right is something that has happened to McCain before.
When she tweeted "Stop Asian Hate"—despite stating former President Trump referring to the pandemic as the "China Virus" and "Kung Flu" was not a problem—she got a similar reaction.
Meanwhile you support a party that has basically declared war on the LGBTQ community???????https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1399833473519652872\u00a0\u2026— Cliff W (@Cliff W) 1622660009

I didn't know they needed a month to celebrate. I though they did year round?https://twitter.com/MeghanMcCain/status/1399833473519652872\u00a0\u2026— Frank the tank #KAGA (@Frank the tank #KAGA) 1622590859

Meghan McCain's support for equality will only be believed when her actions every day match her special occasion posts.
