Log Cabin, dammit, turn in your triangles.

Once a respected part of the LGBTQ+ movement, the Log Cabin Republicans, like large swathes of the GOP, embraced Donald Trump and everything he stood for. The organization has defended Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law by comparing its opponents to pedophiles, opposed landmark LGBTQ+ nondiscrimination legislation, and has repeatedly been rejected by the Republican Party.

The group has targeted Chasten Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s husband, in an effort to portray him as an effete gadfly. Chasten Buttigieg is a former elementary school teacher and outspoken critic of the Florida law.

The radicalized organization has also compared LGBTQ+ people to child molesters, saying queer teachers are trying to “groom” and “indoctrinate” young kids. Earlier this week, the group’s San Antonio chapter members joined armed extremists to protest outside a drag show featuring queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race. The organizing group, This Is Texas Freedom Force, has been labeled an “extremist militia group” by the FBI.

Linked article started in on Kelly Anne's recent antics on Sean Hannity show, then veered off into Log Cabin's dipshittery for some reason. I've always thought of them as hypocritical but... wow. Just f'n wow.

1. OK I have to ask

were they truly EVER a "respected part of the LGBTQ+ movement"??

[lambchopp59]

2. "tolerated"

Under the first Bush admin, it was notably an ignored and oft booed contingent in the SF pride parade.

3. they've had the "chickens for Col Sanders" vibe as long as I can remember

yes indeed

[lambchopp59]

4. I just recalled

A log cabiner about the same Era justified the Log Cabin bunch as "changing Republican attitudes from the inside". I know I was all like "good luck with that".
Looks like since TFG they've gone full blown traitor status.

[Skittles]

6. oh wow

yes, that would fall under: FAIL

12. So true

How low can some people go?

5. They should all be sent a link to this article...

To justify the illegal massacre, the Party took advantage of the public’s homophobia and the popular belief that homosexuals tended to form conspiratorial, power-hungry cliques at high levels. Hitler said that the homosexual SA leader, Röhm, preferred to promote other homosexuals, and this had resulted in a plot to take over the state. Hitler had purged this sickness from the SA, restoring it to something like its former glory. But this turned out to be the beginning of the end for the SA.

9. Wow that's disturbing

But there's very little of Nazi-ism that isn't.
I'm so reiviled in disbelief there exist those who want all that horrific shit revived, aside from the revelation of their numbers revealed under TFG.
I was truly terribly naive, thought they were a miniscule minority until that Charlottesville riot.
Call it west-coast niavete, I guess.

7. Is George Santos the first Jews for Jesus Log Cabin Republican?

[vercetti2021]

8. Fuck em

They jab a knife in our communities back constantly with their support for the fascists. When will they learn that they never will be accepted? You're not one of the good ones! They will put you into camps with us as well.

10. ...

I watch from outside the community but I always had a feeling that they were disingenuous, maybe infiltrator in later years. I never felt they were serious as representative members of the community in any way.

[Crowman2009]

11. Not a peep from them about that transphobic psychopath Chaya Raichik.

Who is also a J6 terror suspect.

13. I've dealt with the type, though not recently.

Quasi-libertarians.

Basically rich gays who like low taxes. Ideology follows interest.
