The article is behind a pay wall, but I have a work around to read a lot of things on line. The tweet was not that terrible. He should have left it up. From the article Log Cabin Republicans of Los Angeles, a group that advocates for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Republican Party and for LGBTQ+ Republicans in the broader community, shared a screenshot of the post, saying, “I thought you (were) the party of inclusivity and kindness. But I guess homophobic jokes are ok to use as long as it’s directed at your opponents.” Why are these people Republicans. The Republican party doesn't care about them. Are any of the speaking up against anti gay bills. I wonder if any of them are in same sex marriages. Where are they when it comes to white washing history. I am sure there is something in the Smithsonian having to do with LGBTq. If so are they going to say anything if that history gets taken out of the Smithsonian. What are Log Cabin Republicans getting out of voting for Republicans unless they are rich.

I was struck by the Log CabinRepublicans comment as well. They are, apparently, every bit as shallow and hypocritical as their elected officials in Washington and the leader of the OC Republican Party.

Do they feel this way about Obergefell being threatened? I was a Republican a long time ago and knew some Log Cabin Republicans. Most of them were just your run-of-the-mill country club Republicans. I think some of them are just in denial that the Southern wing of the the Republican party, with all of it's racial and social grievances, has completely taken over the Republican identity. They won't acknowledge Obergefell or a lot of the other horrifying things Republicans are doing right now because they could never stomach left, or even center-left economic policies (even though, ironically the Democrats are now the party of free trade and the Republicans want bonkers-levels of protectionism through tariffs).

I have always maintained that “Orange County Log Cabin Republicans” is among the most self-hating non sequiturs I’ve ever heard.

How they haven’t changed. Many years ago the head of the OC Democrats sent a note of congratulations to the head of the OC Republicans following the birth of his child. The Republican’s response was surly.

Your title and description are typical corrupt, deceitful, leftwing radical methodology: Spewing slander/ falsehood to try to get what you want. This is why your party is losing, because enough people are waking up to the typical buzzword childish, tyrannical, communist falsehood propaganda methodology of the Democrat party that has gone on for the last 23 years and a half decades since Bill Clinton was elected, and with every Democrap U.S. Congress, State legislature, County Board of Supervisors, Central committee, City council across this and President since. Typical projection. The Democrat party is the communist party of America, Godless, immoral, corrupt, and oppressive. Pro- criminal, anti law and order, anti- law enforcement, anti -Justice, open borders, indoctrinating children with sex change surgery mutilation, pro-illegal alienism, anti- prosperity, the party insanely high taxes and high gas prices, the party of deteriorating education, the party of weak foreign policy that leads to wars around the globe, the party of the creation of high crime across the country, the party of racial division, the party of injustice and insanity. The party of telling lie after lie to try to get what you want. The party of corruption. The party of creating insane, harmful bills. The party of trying to force indoctrination the homosexual life on kids in schools. The party of trying to force the homosexual life on adults. The party of violating citizen's constitutional right of association. The party that attends church less that America on the whole. The party that destroys America's lifeline to energy production. The party of uncommon lack of common sense.

Members of the Log Cabin Republicans must really be in serious denial. I don't see how any of them can turn a blind eye to what Trump and MAGA are doing.
