Log Cabin Republicans must come to terms with being in an abusive relationship with GOP

Charles T. Moran, president of Log Cabin Republicans, ended his recent column in The Desert Sun with the line: “Our members are conservatives and will keep fighting Democrats however we can.” The Log Cabin Republicans’ website insists they are “taking a stand against cancel culture, social shaming, and slander” because “truth” is on their side. They need to examine what passes for truth.

Attention: Log Cabin Republicans, you have already been “canceled” by being shut out of the Texas Republican convention. You have been “socially shamed” by having your “lifestyle choice” deemed abnormal. You have been “slandered” by being called child groomers and pedophiles.

Log Cabin Republicans must come to terms with being in an abusive relationship. An abusive relationship is defined by one party exerting power and control over the other in a negative way.

Log Cabin Republicans have bonded with their abusers. Emotional “bonding” with abusers is a familiar story, known as the Stockholm Syndrome.

THe door has been shut in their faces numerous times and yet they will continue to stand by the very ethos which despises them rather than aligning themselves. with people who are smart and welcoming. Based on their continued blindness, I don't trust them enough to have them in our party so they can continue to punch the wind for all I care.

The jump right back in front of it. A Log Cabin Republican is little more than a masochist to be honest. And, I do not have patience for anyone who likes pain.

is not the sign of a healthy relationship with yourself. Proudly supporting the political party that want to make your relationships illegal raises a few red flags.

Do they really think they are valued or accepted in the least within their precious party? Of course not. Even in the 90's and 2000's, they were barely tolerated. "Yeah. Great. Thanks for the donations and votes, suckers. Here's your 30 pieces of silver. Enjoy your money while we strip your rights!"

Now they don't even hide the hatred anymore. You really are Jews for Hitler. You really are Immigrants for Drumpf. You're supporting Face Eating Leopards while thinking they won't eat your face. Well, guess what? They'll each your face - and the rest of you. And they aren't hiding it anymore.

You are now supporting a party that openly hates you, and wishes to destroy you.

"I guess my money is more important than my rights." Awesome. Swell. That money will do you what good when you have no rights, now will it? On top of that, what kind of selfish assholes do you have to be to go selling out other people's rights so you can have your money?

Grow up and grow a brain already.

Meanwhile, you want "truth"? Okay. Here's truth. Your party hates you. Your party is gladly going to cancel all of your rights, your freedoms, you name it. They are going to make all LGBTQ's third or fourth or fifth class citizens. Your precious party is getting people like you (and me) targeted, labeled as "groomers," and trying to end our lives and erase our existence. You are now openly labeled "abnormal" by your own party - a party which has devoted 2022 to canceling you.

Fuck your right-wing ignorance, Logheads. Spare me the right-wing buzzwords about "cancel culture", "slander" and "shaming." Because guess who is canceling you, shaming you and slandering you? Yeah. Your precious party.

Thanks for holding us back. All because of your precious money... Money that you won't have anymore when the QOP is done canceling you and all other LGBTQ's.
