The leaders of two organizations for gay Republicans responded to President Barack Obama's support for same-sex marriage Wednesday with backhanded compliments and criticism of the timing of the president's decision.

Log Cabin to back GOP nominee this year?
2012-03-21 18:54:00
If there is a Log Cabin/GOProud division among gay Republicans and conservatives, this blog clearly falls on the side of the newer group, in large part because we have doubted the commitment of the older organization to the Republican Party and its Reaganite principles — and because we have seen its leadership (at least prior ...
Log Cabin?s Non-Inclusive Internal Affairs
2011-10-15 00:18:00
For as long as I have been out and amongst gay Republicans, I have heard my partisan and philosophical peers clamoring for a conservative alternative to HRC and the other left-leaning gay groups based in our nation’s capital. These iconoclastic gays were concerned that Log Cabin had become too cozy with these groups.  Many left ...

The Decline and Fall of the Log Cabin Republicans
2009-04-18 23:27:00
Back in October 2007, when I met then-Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon in Washington, D.C., I became convinced that the organization had started to reverse its decline.  As I offered my criticisms, Patrick listened, took notes, responded to my points and showed respect for my arguments.  His manner stood in stark contrast to the reaction ...

I am thrilled to help announce the birth of a new national gay conservative organization, GOProud.  As long-time readers know I have been very critical of the national Log Cabin Republicans for many years.

As Dan reported a few days ago, Log Cabin Republican President Patrick Sammon has announced he is leaving his post at the national gay Republican organization after two years.

How much you pay for log cabins depends not just on the size of the building but also what types of logs have been used to build it. There are some, which have been built using handcrafted logs, which are quite expensive, and there are those that have been built from milled logs and these types of cabins are a lot less expensive.

Kudos to Log Cabin for Handling ?Out? Magazine Bias
2008-04-30 19:23:00
When I read Charles Kaiser’s response to (what I called in this post) “a raft of e-mails faulting him for failing to talk to a single gay Republican in his Out magazine article, ‘Washington’s Gay War,’” I knew the organization had scored a major success. Their call to action (both on the web and in an ...

Log Cabin ?Convention:?How Conservative Ideas Benefit Gay People
2008-04-11 19:21:00
I have to say I?ve, by and large, been impressed with James Vaughn?s presentation in this ?On Both Sides of Log Cabin.?

We have also criticized them for failing to take on Democrats as aggressively as they take on their own party. With their recent release faulting Democratic ...
Log Cabin: Tyranny of the National Board
2008-04-10 04:42:00
Usually when I describe Log Cabin’s coming gathering in San Diego, I make sure to put the word “convention” in quotation marks. The reason I do so is that at most organizations’ conventions, the assembled delegates, representatives of chapters around the country, vote on the organization’s platform, policy statements, resolutions and/or other proposals to ...
Would I be Blogging if not for Log Cabin?
2008-04-09 04:45:00
When I moved from the Washington, D.C-area to Southern California in 1999, I resolved to give up activist politics. Tired of being labeled “that gay Republican,” I wanted people to see me as more than a seemingly discordant mix of sexuality and conservatism and instead recognize my diverse passions, to treat me as ...

Does Log Cabin really favor Inclusion?
2008-04-06 22:18:00
Not too long ago, a Republican friend who, like me, receives Log Cabin’s regular e-newsletter “Inclusion Wins,” wondered if that title were a misnomer for when it comes to social conservatives and the GOP, Log Cabin doesn’t seem very inclusive. While they wanted the party to include gay people, many in the organization are ...

Log Cabin Gets Free Speech Wrong
2008-03-19 04:19:00
In Log Cabin’s release calling on Oklahoma legislator Sally Kern to resign because of her recent remarks, its president Patrick Sammon said, “Free speech doesn’t mean the right to compare law-abiding, tax-paying citizens to terrorists.” Um, Patrick, actually, it does. That’s why it’s called free speech.  People are free to say whatever they want, no matter how stupid.  And alas, no matter how hateful. Free speech protects the rights of misguided, narrow-minded individuals like Ms. Kern to say whatever she wants even if it makes as little sense as her latest remarks. Just as it protects your right to call on her to resign. Or Rev. Wright’s freedom to spew hateful bile about white Americans. It even protects Andrew Sullivan’s right to call himself a conservative as he verbally swoons over the most liberal member of the United States Senate and backs his candidacy for president of the United States. I agree with Patrick that “O...
Some Log Cabin Splinters

Apparently there is quite a back-and-forth debate going on between Scott Tucker at Log Cabin Republicans and a slew of gay lefty bloggers (Pam’s House Blend, Queerty & Towleroad to name a few). The issue:  Anti-gay robo-calls in Florida allegedly tied to John McCain. LCR’s perspective:  Here and here. Had anyone bothered to reach out to the McCain Campaign, ...

A log cabin that?s all yours

Whilst most of us confine ourselves to house improvements, the ultimate improvement is, of course, to build the whole house yourself. Whilst in theory you could start from a totally blank sheet paper, most of those considering building from scratch begin by choosing an existing house plan. These range from Log Home Plans (some of which would make ...
Log Cabin Faults (Bill) Clinton for Attempting to Rewrite History of Don?t

my log cabin quilt
2008-01-14 20:58:00
David and I spent over an hour in the quilt store selecting the fabrics for this quilt. It’s about lap size, and it’s extra special because mine is the only husband I know who would wander around a quilt store picking the perfect fabrics for a quilt for our home. It’s a log cabin pattern, and I turned the blocks to make the cross shapes. It’s got some problems, but overall, once it was washed, I think it came out fine for one of my first quilts. It’s be sitting around forever with the binding not sewn on, so I finally finished it. Yay, me! We got all the fabrics at Fat Quarters in Vista, CA. That’s also where I took my first quilting class - of which this pattern is a product. So, so far for 2008, I finished one UFO. I’m working on a second…I’ve got some quilting goals for myself this year. Namely, no new projects until the old one’s are finished. It’s a shame to have quilt tops languishing in boxes. Right?
Log Cabin Criticizes Democrats for Derailing Hate Crimes
2007-12-07 00:30:00
Log cabin’s latest press release puts me in a bind. On the one hand, I’m delighted that they’re taking on the congressional Democratic leadership for blocking legislation they favor. On the other hand, I oppose the legislation the Democrats are blocking. Just a few moments ago, I learned that Log Cabin had condemned Democrats ...
