It must be an election year…the Log Cabin Republicans are cheerfully telling everyone they can what a bunch of happy quislings they are. An AP news story on the upcoming republican party platform (which I’m not going to link to), says the platform will contain the usual call for a constitutional ban on same sex marriage. Log Cabin spokesdroid Scott Tucker says he’s fine with that…<\/p>\n
\n"This isn’t a hill we’re going to die on," said Scott Tucker, a spokesman for the gay rights group Log Cabin Republicans.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Log Cabin is a gay rights group like a white sheet flapping in the wind is an American flag. But let it be said they’re working on building common ground between gay and straight within the republican party…\n<\/p>\n
\n"Unlike previous years," said Gary Bauer, a social-conservative veteran of platform struggles, "I just don’t see deep divisions within the party."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
See how easy it is for people of differing views on gay rights to get along in the republican party? Really…all it takes is a little abject submission. \n<\/p>\n
I realize that you can’t pigeon hole gay people on the issues. Gay folk range the entire political spectrum from left to right. I grok this. But if a conservative gay group will not take a simple basic principled stand for marriage then what the fuck good is it? Oh yes…I hear them yap, yap, yapping all the time that their sexuality isn’t all there is to their lives and they have other issues too. Fine. Marriage, as it happens, is about more then sexuality too. \n<\/p>\n
I don’t ever want to see these pathetic quislings tut, tutting the sexual excesses of "gay culture" again, if they’re not willing to raise so much as a squeak in protest over a plank that calls for a constitutional ban on same sex marriage. Better to die on the hill, then in the gutter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
