Don't equate Hastert's criminal and amoral use of power to abuse young men w/mormal LBGT behavior
There is nothing wrong with being gay
There is everything wrong with being a pervert
I don't understand Log Cabin Republicans. The GOP doesn't appreciate you, they don't want you, many of them absolutely hate you. I understand having fiscally conservative leanings, but that ship has sailed with the GOP.
Exactly. I know exactly one gay Republican; a high school friend living in Florida. Dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to politics.
He is joining a club where he is obviously not wanted.
Log Cabin Republicans are like the Jews that worked for the Nazis in exchange for special treatment. Every time I hear about them, I think about the Chappelle skit with the blind black man that was a white supremacist.
No they arent
The. Jews who were involved with the Holocaust knew any option they had was totally controlled by the Nazi
Therefore their choice was Sophie's choice--or actually no choice
The Nazi used their power as a club in any way to make vulnerable people feel complicity as victims
But the Log Cabin Republican group doesn't risk death as the Jews did
That exclusion is legal because???
If they are members of the GOP--dues paying members--how can they be prohibited from having a booth/stall?
The GOP is a private organization. And gay people are not a protected class.
It does seem odd that the Log Cabin folks still remain Republican, but oh well.
Note - the GOP has not banned individual gay people from attending the convention or even being delegates or otherwise being active. It has just banned the Log Cabin Rs from having their own booth. Still awful, IMO, but not as bad as it could be.
The Log Cabin Republicans, a group of gay Republicans who advocate for LGBT rights within the GOP, have long struggled to gain acceptance from the party.
I have to say as a conservative (oh well, Republican), I found banning them to be completely unacceptable. I don't believe ALL Republicans or the party hate gays. I can care less about what people do behind closed doors. I don't believe being gay is a choice. I don't know why being gay is such a big deal to some people.
i don't know why SOME religious Conservatives So Freaked Out by Gays. I am a Christian, I am a conservative, I am a registered Republican. I think some fellow conservative should really just mind their own business. The society has moved one, obviously.

A very reasonable stance. Unfortunately for you, your party has allowed the evangelicals to take control, and this is the result. The GOP would be so much better off if they would wrest control of the party back from the pretend Christians. As you said, society has moved on, but the pretend Christians are still stuck in the old world thinking and have no desire to move forward. It's going to kill the Republican party, because the up and coming generations are not so neolithic in their beliefs.
do you believe everything you see on blogs, especially biased ones comming from another country? When it is published by a reliable source here in American it may carry some weight.
