    They’ve been around awhile. During the pre-MAGA, “friends across the aisle” times I could see the value of creating a group that generally aligns with the Republican platform (low taxes, small government, etc.) but supports gay rights and pushes for progress on that issue from within the party.

    Today though, anti-LGBT sentiment is so strong within the party that it’s hard to understand why the Log Cabin Republicans continue to exist, especially when they are openly shunned by the party.

        More than that they resent the fact that as queer people they’re expected to be democrats. And rather than getting mad at the republicans for being the reason for that they get mad at the democrats over it. They’re contrarian assholes
