As previously reported on Queerty, the Texas branch of the Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) have again been turned down for a booth at the Texas State Republican Convention. It takes place May 14-16 in Houston, TX.
2020 represents the twentieth year the LGBTQ conservative group have been denied a booth.

One of those frustrated by the repeated refusal is former Houston Log Cabin Republican president (2016-2020), Marco Antonio Roberts.
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.
Roberts posted a lengthy Facebook post challenging some of the reasons given for refusing the group a convention presence (it partly boils down to an expectation for LCR not to disagree with a principle of the Texas GOP over its belief in “self-sufficient families, founded on the traditional marriage between a natural man and natural woman.”)
One of those responding to Roberts’ post was Sue Evenwel, the chairperson of the Titus County Republican Party and a member of the State Republican Executive Committee.
She said that Log Cabin Republicans, as individuals, have access “to the entire Republican party experience.”
She goes on to say, “The only thing being questioned is Republican convention booth policy. That’s the big issue and difference. As a group it is no longer about an individual participating, but it is an express advocacy group, and the LCR’s unique identity is homosexuality which is in conflict with the principles & platform of the Republican Party.
“The party would also not allow express advocacy groups for murders, burglars, adulterers or fornicators, yet there may be some among us dealing with those issues who are also Republicans working and voting for our candidates.”
Her comment prompted many responses.
“I would like to invite Sue Evenwel to walk through the 2020 RPT Vendor Hall with me and explain the sins of each booth while I livestream her explanations/ justifications,” said Amy Hedtke. “I am 100% dead serious here. Not even a teensy bit sarcastic.”
Another, Sean Ricker, replied, “I think we voted a fornicator and adulterer as our president, and have suggested he is the best ever. But what do I know? I’m just over here doing gay things with my fornicating friends.”

Evenwel is far from being alone in her views about the Log Cabin Republicans. At the GOP committee meeting where the LCR application was turned down, Texas State Senator Bob Hall, 77, criticized the group.
“They don’t have the basic belief in the God of the Bible that we are founded on,” he said.
“I could not find anywhere on their website an expression of their faith in God like you will find on a Republican website.”

Log Cabin Republicans. Jews for Hitler.

“I could not find anywhere on their website an expression of their faith in God like you will find on a Republican website.”
I went to the websites for the NRA and Citizens for Limited Government and neither of them had expressions of their faith in god,. Where is the outrage, will their booths be shut down?

These Nazi’s worship Trump. Their only “expression of faith” is and has always been about maintaining power and hate for anyone not like them.
Vince
Wow. Way to spell it out. So in other words, will let you do little things like register voters but it’s the old whites only lunch counter for the good folks like little ol Sue and the rest of her bigoted friends in the TX Rethug party. No doubt any hate group like the KKK and especially ones that hate gays will be welcome to their convention with open arms.
I don’t know who I find more pathetic. Probably the Log Cabin idiots who’d gladly sell us down the river.

it’s always interesting there are multiple studies that show the highest incidence of renting porn in convention hotels is when any kind of Republican or conservative groups are staying there…
She is simply jealous of the Gays.
Because that miserable vile crunt hasn’t had anything but household containers in her yeast infected dustbowl vagina since before JFK began motoring into Dallas…

Wow. Mrs Roper is really looking like shit these days.

“She said that Log Cabin Republicans, as individuals, have access ‘to the entire Republican party experience.'”
The entire Republican party experience” being: corruption, lies, superstition, demonization of and hatred for most Americans, kow-towing to corporations and allowing them to exploit everyone and suck on the teat of corporate welfare, withholding of the most valid functions of government from citizens in need, and so much more.
One becomes concerned about the mental health of people who humiliate themselves over and over in a sad and fruitless attempt to simply be tolerated by people who hate them, and constantly remind them of that.

Considering the GOP’s history on LGBT rights, and Trump’s lies during his campaign about being our friend before doubling down on attacking us, I have zero sympathy for the Log Cabin Republicans. The GOP jumped into bed with right wing “Christians” and will NEVER accept the Log Cabin bunch. Sooner or later they will have to realize they are supporting a party that is against their very existence and doesn’t care if they are fired, evicted, or denied services just for being gay.

The LCR would eliminate people of color if they could get away with it! Such hateful hypocrites!!

THE LOG CABIN CLUB AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DESERVE EACH OTHER. BOTH BIGOTS AND LOSERS.

I am no card-carrying member of the Log Cabin Republicans, and really am more of a libertarian than a Republican. And I have already cast a ballot for Pete Buttigieg in today’s primary. But I do find it disturbing that so many gay people seem to believe that anyone who isn’t a far-left Sanders supporter is somehow a traitor. I am gay, but why in the world should that necessarily define my views on economic policy, or any of the many other issues that lead to my political choices?
yah_sure_youbetcha
LCR deserves everything it gets from this crowd of bigots.
Felecia
Can’t we just apologize to Mexico for being stupid and simply give Texas and all of its in-bred Big Hair bigoted spawn BACK to them…? As for those idiot ‘Log Cabin Republicans’; the earlier statement of Jews for Hitler couldn’t say it better. WTF is WRONG with you people…the GOP will never accept you until you denounce all of those logs you keep pushing into your cabins, silly fairies..!!! Now back into the closet with you, like any ‘good’ queer….lol…

I too have no sympathy for LCR. I mean really… just what did they expect. Get over it LCR, the GOP will never love you, nor accept you, nor (as your group should finally accept) will the GOP even tolerate you. Stop embarrassing yourselves and move on. Best wishes!
