The Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay conservative activists, have been denied a booth at the Texas GOP convention, which runs June 16-18.

The decision was apparently a close 4-3 vote of the Texas State Republican Executive Committee.

It’s not the first time this has happened. In my opinion they should have let them have a booth.

You do not know any conservative gays. Conservatism and homosexuality are at extreme opposite ends from each other. You might as well claim to know a conservative who supports abortion.

Being a conservative is living much more than a political lifestyle. A true conservative is a social conservative living and voting for godly American values.

Totally correct. I can’t believe how “tolerant” Freepers are.

If they’re so willing to let homosexuals in the GOP, then why aren’t they willing to allow RINO’s and never Trumper‘s?

And that’s just the trouble with the Republican Party today. It’s filled with anybody and everybody who isn’t conservative.

Conservatives (and certainly libertarians) generally don’t care what you do in your private life.

The contradiction is that a specific group for “gay Republicans” is really just an extension of the neo-marxist group identity politics. And as their name implies should we accept there is an identity and policies, for homosexuals, that politics and government can promote? This is antithetical to conservative and small government values.

Can’t they just be “Republicans” and leave their sexual-preferences aside?

Having said that though, there are no doubt lots of other identity groups, like Blacks, Armenians, steelworkers, etc... who are warmly welcomed into the GOP.

And finally, politics is about the very practical art of winning elections by having the most votes. Why turn people away?

Anyway, I don’t claim to have the answer to this.

Will someone please explain to me how a log cabin is associated with normalizing the homosexual agenda? I remember Log Cabin as a brand of pancake syrup!

I wonder what sort of reception a group of White, Straight Males would get at the Democrats convention. Asking for an acquaintance 😀

"Establishment Republicans always finding new ways to lose."

Great statement, sir. Very stupid to throw gay conservatives out the door.

“I disagree. Only the nuclear family should be promoted. Any deviation from that is a societal as well as personal sickness. It just aint right.”

What YOU said.

How far is the old “Log Cabin” Inn?

All Log Cabin Republicans have taken their turn in the barrel.

If I were there and were to vote on this, I think I would vote “no”.

Not because I am anti-homosexuality - None of us are without sin!

But should we form political groups promoting our particular sexual sins, or others that are unhealthy and/or self-destructive, demanding acceptance of these by the political public???

We could make up clever names for these political groups, demanding platforms at our conventions, really fracturing and diluting our common goals - gluttony, envy, smoking, wife-beating, drug use...

I say again, we all sin. Should we build our lives and identities around such behaviors, and encourage others to do likewise?

You are correct. It was very stupid of Establishment Republicans to throw Log Cabin Republicans out the door.

They should have been welcomed along with the RINO’s and the never Trumper‘s that have infested the GOP.

I agree. Would Rick Grenell not be welcomed? He’s just one of many.
