You're laying it on a little overly thick. Hospitals in blue states have also done the same thing. Also I think you're thinking of GOProud the gay conservative group that formed because Log Cabin are to liberal, and actually focus on gay issues. Log Cabin has endorsed no candidate.

Although I do agree that it's easy to see why people assume Republicans and conservatives are more likely to be homophobic. It is a part of the Republican platform to constitutionally ban gay marriage, and they have lead the vast majority of campaigns against gay rights.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-01 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, some blue states are pretty homophobic too, unfortunately. That is why it's really important for states to include orientation in their anti-discrimination laws, so LGBT people have some legal recourse.

Oh ho, nay my friend, check out LCR's own site:

http://www.logcabin.org/site/c.nsKSL7PMLpF/b.8384403/k.6C03/Romney_for_President.htm
If LGBT issues are a voter's highest or only priority, then Governor Romney may not be that voter's choice. (Their own words)

You can see why gay Republicans earn scorn from other gays, when even a "liberal" Republican gay group is willing to endorse those who openly abuse us, like Mitt Romney (documented abuse).

I am not "assuming" anything. Here are stats from a respected polling group about support for same-sex marriage, via party affiliation of voters.

If LGBT issues are a voter's highest or only priority, then Governor Romney may not be that voter's choice.

But that's the exact point of all politics- are you willing to put one issue aside for another? Are gay rights (it's laughable that they put LGBT because politics really only ever means L and G) more important to you than everything else a party stands for or would you rather have a failing economy and a continuing war while being married to your same sex spouse? For some, marriage isn't the highest concern right now.

I actually find it a bit disturbing that one issue is enough to completely sway you to one side or the other with no regard to the rest of the party platform.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-01 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Do you find it disturbing that I also wouldn't vote for an ex KKK member even if he had a stellar economic policy? How clueless can one person get?

As a gay woman, the Republican party and Mitt Romney have both spoken in favor of opposing my equal rights, reducing my existing rights, and allowing my (fairly backward) state to strip me of even further rights. You really think it's disturbing if that one issue is enough to decide for me? Really? Yeah, "wants to treat me as a basic human being" is one of my requirements for getting my vote. On what world is that remotely a problem, or remotely "disturbing"?

Oh, I'm pretty well-informed. I disagree with the majority of the Republican platform, and agree with the majority of the Democratic platform.

And note that the marriage (or lack thereof) affects LGBT people families BIG TIME. It IS an economic issue for us. You can claim tax deductions, receive health benefits, properly leave your estate to your family, etc. if you are legally married. If you aren't, you could be majorly affected.

As a woman, politics affect me economically too. Under Obamacare's rules, insurance companies can't charge me up to 86% more for my gender. They have to provide reproductive parity to me -- helluva important, watch Sandra Fluke's testimony about her friend (attending Georgetown Law, got an ovarian cyst, the Jesuit university wouldn't cover her expensive prescribed birth control, she lost the ovary and went into early menopause). Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Act, which makes it easier for me to sue an employer if I have documented proof that I was not "receiving equal pay for equal work."

I don't blame the failing economy on Obama. I blame it on Bush's expensive wars combined with his tax cuts for the wealthiest. I also think the Republicans -- contrary to conservative ideals of "individual rights" -- have become obsessed with controlling women's bodies, even stating that a woman must bear her rapist's baby, and are obsessed with deciding who cannot marry. They passed hundreds of laws last year about women's bodies, when they could have been focusing on the economy (hint: the economy is not hidden in my uterus).

Are you legally able to get married yourself?

Re: the one who has been posting all the links

(Anonymous) 2012-11-01 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
To myself? No. Nor do I plan to ever get married.

I'm so glad your biggest issue with insurance is that you're female.

Re: the one who has been posting all the links

(Anonymous) 2012-11-01 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
wtf? was that meant to be insulting or condescending or imply they have no real health problems? im disabled with a preexisting condition that fucks me totally with regard to insurance, but guess what? being female is still my biggest issue, because the thought of not being able to receive an abortion or get free morning after pill if i'm raped is literally the scariest thing ever to me. what the fuck is your problem anyway?

Re: the one who has been posting all the links

(Anonymous) 2012-11-02 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, that's "I have a pre-existing condition that means I cannot function in society without medication" and I look at that as far more pressing than anything involved with being a female. I'm not one of those people who live in constant fear of rape, and abortion is legal in my state. If it wasn't, I'd just go across the border into a state that does.

Re: the one who has been posting all the links

Vote for Obama, then. ObamaCare will by 2014 have provisions that you can't be denied for pre-existing conditions.

would you rather have a failing economy and a continuing war while being married to your same sex spouse?

How about this: a recovering economy, a president who pulled us out of Iraq and is committed to getting us out of Afghanistan, or a president who just can't wait to attack Iran -- a country he apparently knows so little about, he doesn't realize it doesn't border Syria, and is unaware of its access to the Persian Gulf? A president who has strong approval ratings worldwide (important in a global economy), or a president who managed to insult one of our closest allies (Britain)?

Basically, I think I can have it all!!

Actually, supporters of ENDA (mostly all Dems), derailed the bill intentionally because it didn't provide proper support for Transgender people. And VP Biden just said he thinks transgender rights are the next big civil rights struggle.

Hmm, don't think Paul Ryan has said anything like that...

[personal profile] glo_unit 2012-11-01 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering both sides would continue the war and I believe the current failing economy is largely do to the cyclical nature of economic and what both sides propose won't help that much overall, forgive me if social issues take a larger level importance for me.
