1. Log Cabin Republicans
are pissed off at him for pretending to be a social conservative now that he's running for Prez.

Hence, this ad.

IT's meant to expose him.

4. No clue
I would guess they're obviously pro gay equal rights, but beyond that I have no idea.

6. My perspective is,
they are like any other group. They are a group within a group. They are Libertarians who happen to be gay, so they try to be Republicans, because Democrats are not Libertarians.

7. They actually are REPUBLICAN, with the one exception
The Wikipedia article has this to say:

The Log Cabin stresses its loyalty to the Republican Party: "We are loyal Republicans," its website says. "We believe in low taxes, limited government, strong defense, free markets, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. Log Cabin represents an important part of the American family—taxpaying, hard working people who proudly believe in this nation's greatness." They take no position on abortion.

But Log Cabin dissents from socially conservative Republican views on matters relating to gay and lesbian rights. "We also believe all Americans have the right to liberty, freedom, and equality," it says. "Log Cabin stands up against those who preach hatred and intolerance. We stand up for the idea that all Americans deserve to be treated equally—regardless of their sexual orientation."

8. It is in retaliation for Romney flip flopping on gay rights. I think it'll be very damaging in Iowa
