Premier Rock Forum

Log Cabin Republicans are still Republicans. Therefore Crap by a country mile.

Pim Fortuyn was a right-wing homosexual also, and he sure was a piece of shit too.

Being gay doesn't make right-wing views any less repulsive. No worse, no better.

A step above the regular republican party.

Like a wooden man building a fire out of his legs to keep himself warm. I do not get it.

Great analogy. I do not get it either.

Log Cabin Republicans remind me of Uncle Ruckus from The Boondocks.

I get it.

A lot of people hold to conservative principles out of a strong (if ultimately naive) belief in self-reliance and a strong distrust of government.

If you feel that way strongly enough, you'll fall in with the GOP and put up with the extra bullshit that the religious right has heaped onto their platform. It's the more palatable of two unsatisfactory options.

Sexuality is such an overpowering force in defining who we are, though. It's got to be pretty tough to manage, being a gay Republican.

Anyway, let's assume LCRs would like to carve the cultural diktats out of the GOP plaform. It's still crap. So crap.

I used to live with a couple who owned one of the largest gay periodicals in the city. Not only did they vote for George W. Bush during his first term, but they also held racist attitudes and beliefs. It's upsetting to think member(s) of a disenfranchised community could cling to beliefs so repugnant and outdated out of a sense of selfishness and self-hate.

I don't get it either. Don't think I want to get it.

Uncle Tom's Closet.

But maybe there's a different significance here. If the fact remains that far-right red state assholes assume that all gays are far-left chaps-wearing parade-marching weirdos, then publicity of this kind of organization might be important.
