Following the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, the favorite right-wing response has been to wail that the agency has become “weaponized” against Donald Trump. No matter that crimes may have been committed and it’s their job to investigate.
The Log Cabin Republicans parroted the talking point, but gave it a gay spin that’s so cringey it feels like someone must have hacked their Twitter account just to mess with them.
But nope, the gay conservative group really did have the audacity to compare themselves to Stonewall rioters as they continued to suck up to Trump.

“Just as the patrons of Stonewall were not intimidated by police, we will not be intimidated by the weaponization of the FBI and DoJ against President Trump or his home, Mar-A-Lago… …where (as we announced hours ago) we will be holding our annual gala later this year!” the group tweeted.

As one commenter pointed out, “The patrons at Stonewall were largely Black and Latinx. Marsha P Johnson didn’t risk everything for you to join up with a party that runs on racism and transphobia. They are never gonna view you as equals. Use your energy elsewhere.”

Indeed, the group has repeatedly been denied a booth at the Texas GOP convention, where their own party states that “homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice” in its official platform.
The Log Cabin Republicans previously held their 2021 gala at Trump’s West Palm Beach estate, where they presented Melania with the “Spirit of Lincoln” award. The group produced a fawning video touting the former first lady’s “passion for equality” that has to be seen to be believed.
Needless to say, their Stonewall tweet didn’t go over so well:
This tweet is exactly why no one takes the Log Cabin Republicans seriously and never will.

this is HUMILIATING for you

You should be ashamed, comparing the persecution of homosexuals living their lives to the corrupt dealings of a likely criminal, but you won’t be.

Y’know, there are healthier and more rewarding ways to satisfy a humiliation kink. Just saying.

Who is that first guy in your first photo?
He looks like he is still sitting on a Log.
By the way, whatever happened to “The Tweeks for Trump”?

He certainly looks in pain.

OMG, MORE OF THIS RIDICULOUS RUBBISH
Yeah, nuh. The facts are…
The peeps at Stonewall on the night were mainly young, white, homeless dudes, street kids, and male prostitutes. They were NOT a majority of black or latin patrons.
MPJ never threw a shot glass, or a brick, because she wasn’t there when it started. Why do people keep peddling this complete and utter BS.

At 81 I’m old enough to remember the Stonewall Inn where gays could go to slow dance and drag queens could dress up. It was a NY gay bar in a gayborhood. The riot was in response to a police raid.
barryaksarben
funny actual photos. REAL phots show quite a few, most would say a majority of people. in them were people of color. FACTS count right?
jami_h30
barryaksarben – whatever pictures you are talking about, they are obviously not from Stonewall.

The information is out there for those who do the research instead of getting their LGBTQ history from Twitter. Photos from newspapers that were printed the days of the riots and books are easily accessible. Trying to further divide the community with misinformation helps no one..
Mister P
It is true that Republicans do run on racism, homophobia and transphobia.

If my gay Republican uncle is representative of LCR, then it’s all about loving money, wealth and power more than all else. Family members have not seen him for decades. The last known story was him yelling at his great nephew for picking up a grapefruit from his side yard. My uncle made him carry it to the neighbor and apologize – even though it had fallen across the fence into his yard.
I bet he has a room brimming with sports equipment and toys that he took from the neighborhood kids.

Log Cabin has failed and closed most of their offices nationwide.
They went from being an LGBTQ group that associated with Republicans, to a Republican group, that is only used to lie and defend Republican bigotry.
I’d be shocked if they have more than a few hundred members anymore.

The Cabin Girls should merge with Mothers For Freedom, or whatever they call it.

Do they have money they are afraid will be taxed? I don’t get them now, never have and never will.

I am neither Republican nor Democrat – nor do I generally even vote in U.S. elections, although I could, based on my citizenship of birth. But when will the gay community figure out that being gay does not necessarily define your politics? And that having a difference of opinion with someone on, say, economic or foreign policy, does not mean that you are enemies and should mock them?
bachy
American politics is rife with the petty bickering of the attention-starved, thanks to stridently childish ideological perceptions.

Your comment is so telling. You essentially do not vote in the US, and have no party affiliation, yet I bet as a gay person–if you are gay–that you benefit from the gains not only of activists, who tend to have an ideological orientation, but of politicians whose politics enabled you to live in relative freedom and equality. There is no single “gay community,” but multiple ones–LGBTQ communities–and one’s sexual orientation and identity, and gender orientation and identity, do not define our politics, BUT it is also very clear that certain ideologies and political parties actively work to harm LGBTQ people, and it would behoove us to at least be aware of this and acknowledge this, and, for those of us who are unwilling to sit on the sidelines, to work to prevent people espousing these hateful ideologies and belonging to these hateful political parties pushing anti-LGBTQ policies, from gaining power. To put it another one, if someone is trying to strip away my rights and wipe me off the face of the earth, should I befriend them and sit on the sidelines as they are trying to strip away the rights of people like me and wipe them off the face of the earth?

If we listen to you trolls like you gays would still be FORCED INTO THE CLOSET. GET LOST.

My question to the Log Cabinettes is, how much outright contempt and rejection do you have to take before you wake up and say, Hey, the GQP is not going to support me or push for my full humanity and equality, let alone do it for LGBQT people as a whole, so even if I do not like the Democratic Party or other parties (Greens, Libertarians, etc.), I am not going to keep enabling this party and helping it gain power? Seriously? I get the masochism and violent self-loathing of some people (Mark Foley, Steve Gunderson, Larry Craig, etc.) and the sheer malevolence of others (Terry Dolan, Denny Hastert, Arthur Finkelstein, Aaron Schock, etc.), but many rational, reasonable gay Republicans, faced with the outright hatred of the Texas GQP, must at some level ask themselves, what am I doing, to myself and others?

Sadly the gay community is intolerant of others even in their community who have different political views. Case in point: Really what have the liberals done for us along with the Latinos and blacks other than promise a lot and do little to nothing but throw a few crumbs and pander to us every four years and then give us lip service and the ‘finger’ behind our backs all while they laugh at the suckers who are so malleable. and gullible. San Francisco is a perfect example of this. Really more and more gay people and straight people can’t afford to live here even if they earn good money and have to settle for incompetent leadership that does nothing to improve conditions ,clean up the place and solve many of the issues that have festered for years. And affordable housing, ‘talk to the hand,’ This issue has been going on for years and nothing is being done to make it a reality. Homelessness is one of the major problems facing San Francisco and in the 37 years since it EXPLODED, it has become a crisis and a national disgrace. With the billions in taxes and fees collected over the years it just gets worse and worse and could have been solved within 2-3 years or had programs in place to deal with it in a humane and fiscally prudent way that didn’t always involve jacking up the taxes to ‘study the problem’. Well study hall’s closed, time for action. Where’s this money going? Time for an audit of the books and like in private business. any funny stuff is investigated and anybody complicit is fired and prosecuted for embezzlement. As a native It saddens me to see just what has become of the jewel of Califronia that has seen much better days. As they say elections like everything else in life has consequences and what’s happening all around us is apathy and reelecting the same slugs doing little to nothing and taking us for a huge financial ride and playing us for fools.

I learned about the log cabin morons in the 90s I was insulted by the thought then, and disgusted now, that they follow a twice impeached and lying moron, 1/6/21 and the impeachments should never be forgotten, lock him up in moldy Mar-A-Lardo

years ago my partner was a Log Cabin member, 10 years older than me and he stole so much from me, both money and assets because I was dumb enough to trust him. I sued him but he, being an older businessman he knew how to use the system to stall the case for about 6 years with frivolous, delays and motions. He was sanctioned but not stopped. He was not going to allow this to go to court because he did not want all the evidence I had to come out in court. Finally, the legal fees bankrupted me and two weeks after he filed bankruptcy himself. He had supporters because of his charisma and trump like ability to get people to believe his lies. Poetic justice, he had cheated most all his supporters with fake investments and fraudulent “investment advice”. He became so hated he had to move out of the state to CA where I heard he cheated almost everyone he knew again. 7 years later he filed bankruptcy again and relocated to central America. This is the type of person Log Cabin attracts. So beware.
