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).
