Peter Boykin
Peter Boykin (born May 13, 1977) is an American activist, known for being the founder and president of Gays for Trump. A member of the Republican Party, Boykin was a candidate in the 2024 North Carolina lieutenant gubernatorial election.
Peter Boykin was born in Florida and grew up in Virginia. He now resides in North Carolina. His parents were conservative Catholics who campaigned for Ronald Reagan.
He holds an associate degree in information systems technology from Danville Community College, a Bachelor of Science in web development, a Master of Science (M.S.) in information security and assurance from Purdue University, and a M.S. in e-commerce and entrepreneurship from Purdue.
Boykin is a public supporter of Donald Trump. In 2016, he founded the Gays for Trump organization which gained national attention as it solicited support from gay Americans for the candidacy of Donald Trump, mainly through social media messaging and outreach. Gays for Trump also organized events, like the "WAKE UP!" party at the 2016 Republican National Convention to celebrate Trump's nomination as the Republican Party candidate. In attendance were prominent far-right figures, such as former Breitbart news editor Milo Yiannopoulos. The event was also seen to link gays with the counter-jihad movement in the aftermath of the Orlando nightclub shooting, as other speakers included Pamela Geller and Geert Wilders.
In February 2018, he announced that he was running for the North Carolina House of Representatives to represent District 58. After advancing from the primary election on May 8, 2018, and receiving the backing of the North Carolina Republican Party, he lost in the general election on November 6, 2018, to the North Carolina Democratic Party candidate, Amos Quick by a margin of more than 50 percentage points.
In May 2021, he announced that he was running for US Congress to represent North Carolina after incumbent Ted Budd announced his departure from Congress to run for the Senate seat vacated by Richard Burr.
In November 2021, Boykin announced his intention to run in the newly-formed 7th Congressional District. However, Boykin later suspended his congressional campaign, instead opting to run for the North Carolina House of Representatives.
He later dropped out of the race due to map changes in his district.
