Reply #5: I look at it a different way.

In general, I tend to have a more strategic, less passionate take on a lot of things, and I think it helped me figure out what the Log Cabin Republicans might be doing. First and foremost, I think they are at base fiscal conservatives. But regarding LGBT issues, they may have subscribed to the idea that it's easier to get the Republican Party to stop using LGBT issues as wedge issues, thus neutralizing those political debates, than it is to get people who are conservative to vote for the Democratic Party (which would be difficult for fiscal conservatives to do in the first place).
