Sure, but parties can change over time. The GOP itself certainly has, even in our lifetimes.
The Party of Trump is different from the Party of G.W. Bush -- which is itself different from the Party of Reagan, or certainly Nixon.
I hope the GOP can one day truly compete for my vote. I would like to have a real decision to make come election time. But yes, until they cast aside a lot of this garbage aside, they will be neither healthy nor sane.
I do think the GOP as a whole is more LGBT-friendly than they used to be (still not great), even if they have at the same time turned more racist.
