The Log Cabin Republicans are an LGBT group, but one might not have guessed it based on the legislative agenda for their lobby day at the Texas Capitol on Thursday.
Although Log Cabins 11-item agenda included some LGBT issues, it was also plump with conservative red meat, including support for open carry, tax cuts and border security.
Jeff Davis, president of Log Cabins nascent Texas chapter, provided a two-fold explanation.
Im gay, but I dont define myself just based on my sexuality, so my politics arent defined by that either, Davis said. I think its also important for us to keep saying to the Republican Party: Were Republicans. Were not Democrats. Just because were gay doesnt make us Democrats. We are conservative.
We need to show commonality.
