First, a report about this guy from December 2022:
In a series of Facebook posts over the past month, Valdamar Archuleta, executive director of the Colorado Log Cabin Republicans, blames people his organization purports to represent for “increasing violence towards the LGBT community.”
Just a week after the Club Q shooting in which five Coloradans were murdered and another 18 injured, Archuleta reinforced the dangerous conspiracy theory that LGBT people are pedophiles.
“If you’re really that upset about being called a #groomer maybe you should step back and reevaluate your activity around children,” wrote Archuleta. “At the very least for appearances sake.” Archuleta also liked multiple anti-trans comments made in response to his post blaming LGBT activists for the increase in violence against their own community.
Read the full article. Screenshot of the above-cited Facebook posts are at the link. Per reports on social media, today Archuleta launched a run against incumbent Colorado Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette.
In the video below, Archuleta declares that reports of evangelical Christians and white supremacists advocating against LGBTQ rights are fake news.
