Earlier this week, GLAAD highlighted the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC, and its history of hateful and out-of-touch rhetoric – as well as the fact that it is a proving ground for up-and-coming anti-LGBTQ politicians and a test audience for some of the most extreme public policy positions. This year, Trump Administration officials are the darlings of the conference, and they are off to a rip-roaring start.

Check out what they’ve said so far – and the conference is just getting started.
