\n

The singer, whose 1978 hit \u201cI Will Survive\u201d has been heralded as an empowering anthem by the LGBTQ community, has donated thousands of dollars to a range of Republicans<\/a> in the past few years, according to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by MeidasTouch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 2023 and 2024, the entertainer shelled out modest sums totaling nearly $22,000 to a long list of MAGA allies and conservative organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The list of politicians includes House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-La.,) Sen. Ted Cruz<\/a> (R-Texas), Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> (who was then a U.S. senator), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Ohio gubernatorial hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy<\/a> (who ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2023 and early 2024).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gaynor, who made the donations under her given name Gloria Fowles, also gave money to the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the New Journey PAC, a group that targets Black conservative voters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Records do not reveal any donations directly to Trump, however, according to MeidasTouch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Though many have called for the disco icon to reject the award, she\u2019s been conspicuously silent about the honor. In fact, she limited comments on her Instagram and completely deleted her X account following the announcement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The ceremony is scheduled for Dec. 7 and will be hosted by the president himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Other honorees include country singer George Strait, glam metal legends Kiss and actor Sylvester Stallone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
