The Log Cabin Republicans Lie Regarding The 'T'

The group is reducing their speed, but they still pursue an anti-family agenda which harms children, undermines families, and hurts society as a whole.

The Log Cabin “Republicans,” the so-called “gay conservative” faction within the GOP, have announced that they will no longer rally or vouch for the T, i.e., they are closing up shop on their transgenderism advocacy.

We should all celebrate, right?

As some may say, the drag queen, er, the devil is in the details.

Their former Communications Director and current President, Ross Hemminger, published a full statement on Townhall.com outlining this new policy. As an interesting side note, Hemminger provides PR and Media Relations at the American Pharmacists Association (APhA). Big Pharma loves LGBT, since that population requires so much medication and medical care as a consequence of the destructive behaviors rampant among homosexual and transgender populations.

Here’s the main portion of Hemminger’s statement:

In 2015, the Log Cabin Republicans Board of Directors voted to add the ‘T’ under the umbrella of our mission — out of a belief that all adults should be allowed to pursue their own happiness, free of government interference, as long as it did not impede on the inalienable rights of others. At the time, we did not believe that we would find ourselves where we are today. The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all — nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors …Advertisement if (publir_show_ads) { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener("slotRenderEnded", function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == "div-hre-Americanthinker---New-3028") { googletag.display("div-hre-Americanthinker---New-3028"); } }); }); } That is why, after significant discussion with our membership, our Board of Directors voted to refine Log Cabin Republicans’ national advocacy focus to concentrate specifically on issues of sexual orientation and conservative values — in other words, we are an LGB advocacy organization, as our founders envisioned and as our moral center calls us to be.
