And so the civil war in the Republicans is out in the open? NO WAY? Maybe they will return to their roots?

Wow, Shawn, once again your eloquence is exceeded only by your insight. If all you have to offer is a 3rd-grade-level derisive comment, you would be better to follow you own advice: STFU.

Perhaps one day you will surprise us and offer evidence that you can: 1) formulate a thought; and 2) formulate a sentence.

Jenna, I don’t know where you get your information from. Most people in the log cabin have been soley committed to Marriage Equality and have been making conservative arguments for our civil rights for quite a while.

This type of divisive writing, that treats conservative and Republican advocates of gay equality as if they’re our enemies is not in the spirit of the gay rights movement.

What are the four names of the Democrats that are voting against Marriage Equality, their districts.

Lets start putting our reelection money where our equality is. It’s time to unseat these four discriminators of equality, and we should start letting them know immediately of our intentions.

In my view, anyone (gay or straight) who has blind loyalty to either political party is a fool. Those of us who sat idly while Bill Clinton signed into law “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and the Defense of Marriage Act know of what I speak.

I hope that this incident changes your view of the Log Cabin Republicans. I am also a proud progressive Democrat, but I have consistently thought that the greatest detriment to our movement is that the religious right currently owns the term “conservative”. Conservatism is supposed to be about government staying out of our lives, and allowing people to live the way they want to. It’s supposed to be about fiscal responsibility, and focusing on free markets, private financing of all but that which must be publicly funded. None of that has anything to do with the price of tea in china or our rights.

I firmly believe there are many republicans out there, many of them in office, who believe in all of the above, including our rights. Until recently they have been forced into towing the party line. I think at this tipping point they are our greatest potential allies, and we need to reach out to them. The Log Cabin Republicans are our best hope of doing that.

I look forward to the day where I can sit down for a drink at a gay get together and have a good heated argument about government spending, or foreign policy because all the gays and lesbians aren’t being forced to go into the political closet anymore.
