"The Log Cabin Republicans have proven once and for all that they are
not an organization aligned with the LGBT movement. They are a
Republican front group bumbling their way into fooling LGBT voters that
it's OK to support a party that would legislate us back into the closet.
Their endorsement of Mitt Romney isn't just shameful - it's insulting.
"Mitt Romney stands for nothing positive for LGBT people. He supports a
federal marriage amendment (which was a reason for Log Cabin to refuse
to endorse George W. Bush in 2004). He supports McCarthy-like
investigations into our community for evidence of 'harassment of
Christians'. He opposes the repeal of DOMA. He opposes ENDA. He's even
said things as basic as the right to visit your sick or dying loved one
in the hospital is a 'privilege' and not a right. [snip]
"So there you have it - the Log Cabin Republicans, who screamed loudly
and forcefully for months that liberal groups and LGBT movement
posturing weren't going to affect their endorsements have instead
allowed the interests of money sucking GOP insiders and the fear of a
conservative performance troupe to decide their endorsement for them.
It's reprehensible. Have they no decency?" - Jerame Davis, executive
director of the National Stonewall Democrats, via press release.
