Fun fact: President's Day isn't an actual federal holiday. It's George Washington's birthday. Some states make it more inclusive.

The Log Cabin Republicans released an awkward video to honor George Washingtons birthday by praising former President Donald Trump. The video is for Presidents Day, giving them a way to shoehorn Trump in, but that isnt actually a federal holiday.
The video features several queer supporters decrying their adoration for the most viciously anti-LGBTQ President in the nations history.
The usual suspects appear in the video, including the groups spokesperson Charles Moran, journalist Chadwick Moore, and the blogger Brokeback Patriot.

The Log Cabin video can be taken about as seriously as Presidents Day.
Donald Trump was the first president in American history to open the tent of the Republican party and accept LGBTQ Americans and for that, I am eternally grateful, one supporter says. The partys 2020 platform endorsed ex-gay therapy, opposed marriage equality and opposed LGBTQ civil rights.

(16,846 posts)I've known some Log Cabin Republicans and they all have serious issues. I even went out with one, but that was about 25 years ago. When someone tells me now that they're a LCR, I find someone else to talk to. It's just not worth the time and aggravation.

(201 posts)I just assume they have money, because that is the only reason I can think of. I have gone to Detroit Pride Fests before where the Log Cabins had a booth set up. I started getting into it with them, asking how they can support Rethugs or Trump, until my partner pulled me away.

(3,167 posts)What in the world did Trump ever do to help LGBT+ causes?? I can't remember him even mentioning gay people.
People believe what they want to believe. I know some gay Republicans. You know what they have in common? They are all viciously anti-transgender. Boggles the mind.
I guess they could only fine ONE lesbian to put in their video!

I used to think it was a "hate taxes" thing, but now I don't know.
