New Civil Rights Movement 30 JUL 2018 AT 06:41 ET
Kemp is opposed to gay rights, and has recently signed a pledge to support religious freedom bills, also known as RFRAs. These bills are viewed as a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people using religious beliefs as an excuse.
Speaking to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Kemp made his position clear, My position on RFRA is not going to change. Im not going to change.
Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for the Governors seat, strongly opposes RFRA legislation.
In spite of Kemps stand against LGBTQ rights, the Log Cabin Republicans chose to endorse Kemp over Abrams. In a press release, they offered Kemp their congratulations in winning the runoff against Georgias State Lieutenant Governor, Casey Cagle, and painting Abrams as a radical liberal.

(89,249 posts)It's not about LGBTQ rights. It's an effort to siphon off "just enough" LGBTQ voters to win an election.
Thanks to Faux News and Hate Radio, the GOP could hold public hangings of LGBTQ people, and the Log Cabin ReTrumplicans would say; "well, but they want to cut taxes and screw people of color, so it's all good"!
The only "good" Retrumplican is a defeated Retrumplican.
Why is that so hard for Dems to understand?

(16,078 posts)This branch Log Cabin Republicans have shown their true colors in supporting Kemp!!!
1. They are gays who are anti-gay
2. They are anti-immigrant
They claim to be fiscal conservatives, which means as long as they get their share, fuck everyone else!!!

(53,776 posts)Stockholm Syndrome doesn't quite describe it. Is it self-hate, a subjugation of self in seeking love or at least acknowledgement from and entity that is not forthcoming?
