If Donald Trump was hoping for GOP unity leading into next week’s convention, there’s a ways to go.

In addition to the last breaths of the #NeverTrump movement, the Log Cabin Republicans are denouncing recent developments for the party’s 2016 platform, calling it “the most anti-LGBT platform in the party’s 162-year history.”

The organization, which represents LGBT conservatives, issued a letter from its president decrying the platform’s changes, which have been reported as “a rightward lurch even from the party’s” 2012 positions.

“Opposition to marriage equality, nonsense about bathrooms, an endorsement of the debunked psychological practice of ‘pray the gay away’ — it’s all in there,” the letter reads.

That “nonsense about bathrooms” is coming from you and your buddy in the White House.

It seems like the only time the media trots out the Log Cabin Republicans is to criticize the Republican platform’s position on homosexual marriage and other gay agenda items.

Tough noogies.

Bunch of rat plants and nothing more.

I could care less what the Rino rump rangers think.

Log Cabin Republicans: “anyone who is not 100% with us is against us”.

[who knows what evil?]

The ‘Boston Globe’...ye gads. Pandering to their arrogant communist audience.

Woop woop wahoo...then go join Mittens and Jebski and the rest of the maroons over at DNC...WE don’t need you Log Cabin

nonsense about bathrooms.

Is that wild child rape is being called these days?

[raybbr]

What are we talking about - a couple thousand voters. Let ‘em go to the dems.

[bigbob]

The fags are unhappy? "Sweet!"

[dp0622]

I dont think so. Workeed with too many gay guys in graphics and while they are very fiscally conservative, a bunch of them, they want to be accepted in a way that will not happen in the GOP.

Their alternative is getting throwm from buildings in ten years or so on a regular basis.

[Vaquero]

Log smuggling republicans should try the demon-rat party. They’ll welcome you with open cheeks.

[Guenevere]

If true, first (& maybe only) smile for today’s news

[Roger Kaputnik]

Fags. Meh.

Good. If they're against it I'm for it. Easy peasey.

"an endorsement of the debunked psychological practice of ‘pray the gay away’"

Except that there are many cases where it has worked (see the works of Leanne Payne, Agnes Sanford, and many others). Does mainstream psychology cure all instances of alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, pedophilia, extreme anger, compulsive gambling, and numerous other conditions or tendencies? Does counseling save every marriage? Of course not. Are treatments for these conditions therefore "debunked" or worthless?

Obama: America is, has always been, and always will be a great Muslim Nation.

Log Cabin Republicans: America is, has always been, and always will be a great LGBTQ nation.

Guys, give your special issues a rest!

You can sense the desperation on the left. The only way they can defeat Trump is by demonizing him and hoping the voters see him as a racist, a homophobe, an egomaniac, and an uncaring billionaire who doesn’t care about the average American.
