It’s been a rough year for Log Cabin Republicans. Not only has the conservative LGBTQ group been bleeding members, but they can’t seem to find any support or allies. Not even from within their own political party.
The Texas GOP has once again made it crystal clear that it wants absolutely positively nothing to do with the Texas Log Cabin Republicans.
For the twentieth year in a row, the State Republican Executive Committee has denied the LGBTQ group a booth at the state’s upcoming Republican convention. They can’t even get a card table in a dark corner near the handicap bathrooms.
Conservative LGBT group @LogCabinGOP denied a booth at @TexasGOP convention — yet again
https://t.co/TEPon6xzuQ— Taylor Goldenstein (@taygoldenstein) February 2, 2020
Republican state Sen. Bob Hall said the group promotes “unnatural sex,” and religious zealot Steven Hotze said its members exhibit “immoral and perverted sexual proclivities.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“The [Log Cabin Republicans] is a front group for the LGBTQ,” Hotze wrote in a scathing rebuke of the group.
He went on to allege Log Cabin Republicans seek to “force businesses, churches, schools, governments, and individuals to accept, affirm, and celebrate those who promote and participate in perverted sexual activities.”
In a statement, Houston chapter president Marco Roberts called the state GOP’s decision disappointing.
“Obviously, we are very disappointed with the decision made by our elected representatives,” he said.
Yet despite the fact that the party clearly wants absolutely positively nothing to do with them, Roberts seems intent on remaining a glutton for punishment.
“Many have told us that it is upon us to make the case for ourselves,” he said. “We agree, and we intend to do that, for us, and for our great party.”
Charles Moran, managing director of the national Log Cabin Republicans, tells the Washington Examiner, “There is no place in modern political discourse for the venom and sheer ignorance displayed by those opposing Log Cabin recognition in the party.”
On the contrary, it seems like the place for venom and sheer ignorance is the Republican Party.

Stupid is as stupid does…Not one shred of pity for these ignorant self hating fags. We are in the fight for our very existence and the damage this splinter group has done to our community can’t be stressed enough.

Spot-on!!

Well said.
winemaker
Gee Larry just what have the liberals done for us other than ignoring us most of the time then pandered to us around election time and when they get our votes, we’re unimportant to them. And in California thugs like ‘nasty’ nancy ‘pigliosi’ and nephew gavin ‘giveaway the store for free newsom’s screwing everyone here including the gay community with higher and higher taxes all while the place goes into the toilet BTW: if you didn’t see the State of the Union, ‘nasty ‘pigliosi’ was as rude, nasty, offensive and disrespectful and as anti American as could be. She’s been in congress for 32 years and has done ZILCH for California, including the gay community and America but herself amassing a fortune of over 200 million dollars for basically sitting on her fat wrinkled ass, thumbing her nose at America and the gay community. and anyone else she doesn’t like at the moment.
masterwill7
@winemaker You are saying everything with using the term “Anti American”, it’s crazy, it’s idiotic, and only used by crazy ignorant brainwashed republicans. I rest my case..
MikeLT
Winemaker — it’s pretty easy to look at the voting records of members of congress… Nancy has voted FOR gay rights every time. Look at the voting records of republicans… they vote against us over 90% of the time. Go troll somewhere else.

I am sure that VP Snake will make room for them!
Idiots.

I see you remember that flag incident as well. Then, turned on us like S HIT on a stick. F UCKING two-faced hypocritical ASS holes.

He didn’t turn on us, he was pandering all along.

He held the flag upside down

@rrmnypc61 Actually The group “LGBTs for Trump” made it upside-down. Trump held it so the words were rightside-up.

Black Republicans, blacks for KKK.
Mack
I really can’t help but laugh.
winemaker
To maxdadmark ir should have been blacks for democrats, the original racists and slave owners. It’s history, look it up. it was under Lincoln, the first Republican president who was instrumental in the emancipation proclamation.
David Myers
Winemaker you are a TROLL aren’t you? Yes originally Democrats represented the slave owners and Lincoln’s new Republican party fought against slavery. That is indeed part of history . . . but as you bloody well know, another part of history was when the Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voter’s Rights Act (1964 and 65, respectively) and the KKK supporters, racists and segregationists all left the Democratic party and moved holis bolis to the republican party with Richard Nixon welcoming them all with open arms and calling it his “Southern strategy”. (Lincoln, if alive today, would be deeply embarrassed and chagrined at what has become of his once great emancipationist Republican party. You know all this, yet you don’t mention it and imply the Democratic party of today is the same racists of the post Civil War period even though you know it is no longer true, and that the bigots have taken over the republican party under the leadership of the Orange Hitler wannabe. Yet you continue to tell these lies . . . it’s called “the big lie technique” and was most succinctly stated by Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels who infamously stated, “Tell a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.” and “The bigger the lie, the more they will believe it.” The big lie technique was used extensively by both Hitler and Stalin and is now regular party practice by today’s republicans, the tea party, Putin and his stooges and puppets, including Donald Trump who is absolutely owned by Putin. You are one of them . . . professional and shameless liars all! Begone TROLL . . . you have no power here!

Perverted sexual activities? Things like, oh I don’t know, oral and anal sex. Those things that straight couples have been known to engage in?
Creamsicle
Is it as perverted and immoral as a 61-year old man cheating on his wife with a 27-year old porn star?
lord.krath
I respect that these people have a point of view. I’m obliged to. But what in hell were they expecting? Oh, “we’re going to adopt a platform that meets our conservative fiscal needs while ignoring our socially liberal lifestyle. Because ‘murica!” Oh, wait, GOP isn’t even fiscally conservative. So sad to get kicked out (or at least spurned) on account of their sexuality of all things. They thought GOP cared about them as conservatives. Wrong.
ShiningSex
Log Cabin’s point of view is ignorant
Wolfwalk
They may have a point of view, but nowhere does it say you’re “obliged” to accept it. The Nazi party point of view that Jews are evil and should be exterminated, the Klan’s point of view that POC are “mud people,” and the Log Cabin Republicans point of view that Trump has done such a lot of good for the LGBTQIA community are all their points of view to which the are entitled. I don’t accept those points of view because they are simply evil lies. What I am “obliged” to do as a moral human is to condemn them for their lying and evilness.
Creamsicle
The GOP is only fiscally conservative about things intended to help normal Americans. They don’t care about deficits if they can funnel money to their donors and cronies (aka: corruption).
But both parties are guilty of that. I suspect that’s a big part of why Democrats didn’t want to have an extended discussion of why it was wrong for Hunter Biden to take that job with a Ukrainian oil company. It would have exposed a lot of them as hypocrites when it turns out half of Congress’s children have nepotistic “consulting” jobs.
ShiningSex
Log Cabin Repulicans are idiots. It’s like if a black man join the KKK.
Why would you want to be a part of a group that is trying to take away your rights and who say you are a sinner and should not be who you are. Idiots!!! so hahahahahahahaha!!!!
fur_hunter
You have hit the nail right on the head. Thank you.
Charlie in Charge
Words cannot express my adulation. They deserve ever drop of the derision they are receiving from their “party.”
Ewigesleben
Duh. How any gay person with half a brain cell could be a Repuglican is beyond me. It’s like wanting to be a Catholic.
fur_hunter
I loved your comment. I USED to be a Catholic way back in the day. Yeah. Then, I did the research. I’m a writer and I wrote a Commentary called ‘And What of Religion’. It IS NOT kind. Keep up the great postings.

I know they’re tragically slow learners, but at least a solution is at hand: Pete Buttigieg. More intelligence and integrity than any Republican has exhibited in living memory.
ScottOnEarth
Does anyone feel sorry for them? I don’t. They’re idiots, promoting and aligning themselves with a group that seeks to erase all LGBTQ people and our rights. Why don’t they create their own group called, “We Hate Ourselves”? The RNC has become unabashed in their anti-LGBTQ stance and nothing is standing in their way because the fake US president and his side-bitch mike stench hate us, too.
Heywood Jablowme
“They can’t even get a card table in a dark corner near the handicap bathrooms.”
Maybe they can get a stall IN the bathroom, that’ll make them more popular with this bunch!
rrmnypc61
Log Cabin Republicans are proving yet again that they are essentially idiots. Apparently there is no number of insults that will make them realize this.
fur_hunter
You are SO correct. Thank you.
Itsonlythetruth
They continue to denigrate themselves asking to be included with the GOP, have they learned nothing. The Republican party hates the LGBTQ community.
nvsugarbear
And we hate the GOP for what they stand for, so the feelings are mutual ??

baggins435
They are bringing the rope to a lynching, and are too dumb to realize they are the ones getting lynched. To quote Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon.” You have to be a special kind of stupid to keep supporting a political party that has clearly and consistently been fighting against your rights for decades. They drank the Trump Kool-Aid when he said he was the best friend of LGBTs, and still support him as his administration tries to undo every advance we made under Obama. I don’t agree with the Democrats on everything, but they are the only party that thinks I deserve any rights at all. How long do the idiot Log Cabin Republicans think they will have ANY rights at all if their dear party has total control of the White House, the Senate, and the House? Only as long as it takes them to rush legislation stripping us of all rights, and if Trump gets to replace even one more Supreme Court Justice, the fat lady will be singing loud and long.
tjr101
Regardless of all the hate they get from the GOP, the log cabiners will be sure to vote for the very people that spit in their faces come November. I guess they get turned on somehow by being treated as “less than.”
Hussain-TheCanadian
I understand if a gay person wants to be politically conservative in the classical sense, but why be a modern day Republican??
I have friends who are conservative BUT refuse to be associated with the Canadian conservative party, and I have friends who are liberals but refuse to be associated with the liberal party of Canada – I would imagine the same is possible the US?
Heywood Jablowme
Maybe because in Canada you have a somewhat multiparty system what with the NDP and regional parties. In the US everything tends to fall into the two choices.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
It’s like the guy who staggers into the Emergency room beaten to a bloody pulp and asked “what happened”???
“Hanging out with my friends again” he replies….
masterwill7
100% true!! Idiots!
GentlemanCaller
OK no one should be surprised that the republicans don’t like gays, and aren’t going to like their own gays. But for godsake, look at the people in that crowd, complaining about unnatural sex–honestly, ANY sexual activity involving those mouthbreathing pinheads would be vomitworthy.
Dick Gozinia
The dilemma for LCR is that they are also not welcome among Democrats because the LCR favors small taxes, big business, big military, immigration control and minimal social welfare. My guess is that probably 1/3 of Americans share those LCR views + they support LGBTQ rights + they don’t want Roe vs Wade overturned. In today’s environment, neither party is appealing to that 1/3 in the middle so they’ll likely ‘vote their pocketbook’ and go Republican. In the meantime, I agree with the people above who likened a gay voting Republican to a jew voting for the Nazis.
dave1000
They would be better off as Libertarians. However, I commend them for trying to change things from within the GOP.

What’s a gay racist to do?

As a disabled gay man; I find your saying they can’t get a table near the” handicap” bathrooms disingenuous and distasteful. Why not just say “bathrooms”? Queerty, you need some training on the gay disability community. Shame on you.
JanDivine
Come on Log Cabins, you are waiting on a parade that passed you by years ago. Don’t you get it? They hate you and always will, that’s not going to change. Accept it.

I’d like to suggest SUICIDE as a last result. PLEASE!

It seems Log Cabin Republics all suffer from battered wife syndrome. They all just keep going back for more.

Good. These ridiculous gays need to wake up and stop pretending that the Republican Party wants anything to do with them.

That folks, is willful ignorance at its finest.
Kangol2
Where are the GOP defenders like Kieran and Rustyspam and Aires or Jennifer? Why isn’t Don the Con denouncing this blatant anti-gay hate and mistreatment from his GOP supporters and the GOP in Texas? Don the Con controls it like a cult, so why isn’t he telling them to treat his gay worshipers with full equality and respect? What about his deputy Pence? Or his ultraright-wing Attorney General Barr? Or someone in his administration, including that nutty gay Quisling who was screwing up as Ambassador to Germany? Won’t any of them speak up for or defend their gay pals?
theafricanwiththemouth
LMFAO, they can’t say sh*t on this issue without sounding daft, and WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!

Stupid fags supporting a group that hates them. When they come to lock you up you will be standing on the corner in shackles crying like a bitch for someone to save you. And there will be no one to help you. Because you caused the problem.
