Where will Log Cabin Republicans go if RNC pushes for Gay marriage ban?
I heard something about the RNC adopting a Gay Marriage Ban amendment to their platform in 2004, playing on the homophobia and religous bigotry that plauges this nation (Cough, Rick Santorum, Cough). I wonder where the Log Cabin Republicans will go once the Republican Party outright condemns them as sodomites.

3. .
The Log Cabin Republicans have always sounded like they'd be better off in the Libertarian party, where their neo-liberal(hardcore anti-government) views are more at home.

Hannity or Coulter to publicly answer on the air.

6. Good question...
I am a lesbian and I have many gay and lesbian friends. The gay men that are republicans are so ONLY FOR THE F'ING MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!! Their precious TAX CUTS is ALL THEY CARE ABOUT. I'm not saying all gay men, I'm saying the Log Cabins. I used to be really good friends with a couple (gay male) who in the past couple of years have hit it big in "the industry." (Here in L.A.). I won't go into details but they are behind the scenes and make megga bucks. They have literally turned into different people. It's heartbreaking what money can do to people if they let it.

Rick Santorum. If they can live with themselves, they are full of self loathing.

10. Back in the Log Closet?
Maybe it's a Cedar Closet?

It'll be interesting to see just how strong their selfishness and greed are in the face of total marginalization.

12. All 15 of them can go to hell...
for all I care.

Believe me, the LCR's get 100 times the attention their numbers deserve. They're just fun to look at, like freaks at the circus.

13. wasn't the statistics for 2000...
Edited on Wed Nov-12-03 02:27 AM by Doomsayer13
like 60% of gay, lesbian, or bi voted for Gore. That number isn't nearly high enough. For all the homophobic ranting and raving jackasses like Rick Santorum do, that number should be more like 90%

15. Your kidding?
I find it hard to believe 40% of homosexuals voted for Shrub and the repukes.

I guess a lot of them do only care about their money.

16. The actual figures
were 75 percent for Gore, 20 percent for Bush and 5 percent for Nader. I will try to find a link tomorrow if this thread is still current.

17. I guess I was a bit off the mark
but with the recent homophobic tendencies of the RNC, they should be voting with us in the 90s

14. The Log Cabin Republicans are as homophobic
as any other Republicans. They exist solely for the purpose of giving the GOP cover when they do disgusting things. It's a front.
