Log Cabin Republicans Endorse Romney
I have always admired the tenacity of the Log Cabin Republicans, who believed they could work from within the G.O.P. to change the party’s views on gay rights . Until they endorsed Mitt Romney for president.
The “qualified†endorsement contains a lot of hedges, including the concession that “if LGBT issues are a voter’s highest or only priority, then Governor Romney may not be that voter’s choice†(I should think not). But the bottom line is that this group of gay Republicans endorsed a candidate who supports denying gay men and lesbians equal rights.
Mr. Romney has endorsed a federal anti-marriage amendment, more than once. He supports the Defense of Marriage Act, which forbids the federal recognition of marriages involving partners of the same sex and permits the states to ignore marriages made in other states.

Very difficult to understand.
I'd imagine most gay folks don't understand it either.

Surprise, surprise!
And who is the last Democratic candidate the Log Cabin Republicans endorsed?
Gay or straight, a Republican is a Republican is a Republican.

If there were really anyone left in that organization, they just lost them
But I suspect their numbers are infinitesimal.
I have a number of gay friends who were republicans.
They left that party long ago.

Ditto to all of the above posters...
And, hey, members of the Log Cabin Idiots and Morons Club, keep in mind that if given the chance, the Pukes and Baggers would fire your asses, kick you out of your homes and ship your sorry Apologist Asses, to a Gay Gitmo!
Call it part of my "conspiracy theory" but have ya'all seen, V for Vendetta?

I would bet that most LCRs are wealthy and don't not
have their own best interest at heart. Just a "keep government out of my wallet" attitude.
I have a friend who is gay and is also one of the wealthiest people in this state. He's a die hard right winger.

Seems like an endorsement of
“if LGBT issues are a voter’s highest or only priority, then Governor Romney may not be that voter’s choiceâ€
...President Obama. Wow!

Or they figure that when any gay endorses Romney it will cost him some votes somewhere.

I bet these guys aren't even gay
Its all a charade put on by the GOP for votes. I mean, how dumb do you have to be to keep voting against yourself? I'm not talking about teabaggin' trailer trash. That's a given. There's structure and money behind this supposed conservative gay group. It makes no sense... unless its nothing but a scam.

Back story: The former head of LCR was thrown off the ticket in Mass. by Mitt (and Ann) Rmoney
Jane "None Too" Swift had named her chief of staff, Patrick Guerriero, as her running mate. Once Rmoney Bigfooted her out of the race, she begged him to keep the openly gay Guerriero on the ticket. According to my inside dirt, he was agreeable to this -- but Queen Ann was not, fearing that any association with Teh Ghey would damage hubby's presidential prospects. Out went Guerriero, whose next gig was as head of LCR.

Did you think they would vote for Obama?
They are Republicans first. Nothing else matters except being a Republican, not even if you see your brothers and sisters getting gay bashed on the street a block over. Adherence to being a Republican is all that matters.
I can't imagine living that way, and violating my principles for the sake of acceptance by a political party. I am far too proud of a lesbian to vote for a party that virulently hates me and all that I am.
