I have a friend I knew for years who finally came out of the closet, he is involved in the log cabin Republicans now.
We have talked about this many times, the gays that belong in this group are not the flaming in-your-face protester gays that are such an embarrassment to everyone, including them. They are the ones who admit they had a normal childhood, got through it okay and just want to be left alone.
They want their nieces and nephews to be raised like they were, or however their parents want them to be raised. They don’t want to pay high taxes and they want state’s rights to trump federal rights.
I don’t agree with all of his views, but we have more common ground when it comes to politics than not. McCaine isn’t going into S.F. to meet militant queers, he is going to meet employed businessmen and women who do keep it behind closed doors and want the rest of the idiots the press loves to focus on to do the same.
I appreciate your point of view, but if they really wanted to keep out of the public eye they wouldn’t set themselves apart and call themselves Log Cabin Republicans. Clearly, they have an agenda. It may differ from that of San Francisco gays but it is there nonetheless.
