I was hoping some could explain that term to me.
I think I know what it means, but I want to know where the term comes from.

I still don't get it but okay! :-)
I have this vague recall that a group of gay Republicans met to discuss their political concerns and decided to form a lobbying group, and that this first meeting was held in a cabin by a lake in Wisconsin...a log cabin. Somebody suggested they name their group for the place where they first met. If this is wrong I'm sure someone will correct it.
Oh well, now I just read a post where it was stated that these gay Republicans believed Lincoln was gay and named themselves after him without using his name...using his association in history with a log cabin, thus calling themselves Log Cabin Republicans. Maybe that's it and I dreamed that it had to do with their meeting first in a log cabin. I'm really not sure, just thought I recalled something...
