Republican Jeff Gunter, a dermatologist, candidate for U.S. Senate in Nevada and the former ambassador to Iceland under the Trump administration, is touting his past support for a Pride group known to promote radical gender ideology and bash law enforcement as part of its support for the Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM).
According to Gunter’s campaign website, he lists as “triumphs” his participation in the 2019 Reykjavik Pride Parade, an $11,000 grant awarded by the U.S. government to the Reykjavik Pride organization that same year “to promote equal rights,” and said that he “demonstrated U.S. commitment to LGBTI+ rights during the 2020 Reykjavik Pride event.”
Reykjavik Pride’s history with radical gender ideology includes what one local Iceland media outlet reported was the group’s planning lectures about transphobia and LGBTQ school children as part of its Pride 2020 celebration, in addition to the president of the organization boasting about marching in drag during that year’s parade and inspiring a friend’s child to cross dress.

Photos posted on social media by Reykjavik Pride show that on a number of other occasions, the group included drag queens as part of its celebrations that had children in attendance. One of those celebrations, the 2022 “family Rainbow Festival,” involved children dancing with drag queens in front of the crowd.
Other photos also included sexually explicit performances at events over the years.
Additionally, the group’s 2020 Pride celebration, held in the wake of the death of George Floyd in the U.S., included lectures calling to defund the police and expressed support for BLM.
