KC's Gay, Lesbian Republicans To Form Own Group

[kweerwolf]

Kansas City's gay and lesbian Republicans are forming their own group.

Patrick Guerriero, who is the national leader of the Log Cabin Republicans, said his group shares a lot of the same values as most Republicans.

But he said he disagrees with Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt's ban on gay and lesbian Missourians being foster parents.

"There are a lot of politicians who should leave this issue to the experts in the field. There are lots of children who need a loving home. Professionals in the field know what to look for. Politicians should back out of this and leave it to the experts," Guerriero said.

This group is laughable! They showed up with a booth at the Pride Festival, but pissed off so many people that they ending up packing up and going home early.

Here's part of a recap of their "debut" from my blog:

Having to set up the booth for KC PRIDE Democratic Club, I didn't have time to peruse the other booths early in the festival. But as the day wore on more and more people stopped by the booth to ask "Did you see the Log Cabin Republicans' booth?" Some were clearly upset that Kansas City had a Log Cabin chapter. Others said they felt the LCRs were being "deceptive."

One festival goer told of how the folks in the Log Cabin booth handed him a petition to sign in favor of doing away with the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. As he handed the clipboard back to the volunteer he thought to inquire: "What group are you with?" When he was told he had just signed a petition for the Log Cabin Republicans, he demanded his name be taken off the petition. "I'm not going to put my name on anything for the Republicans," he said he told them.

Later in the afternoon I took advantage of having other volunteers in the Democratic club booth to make the rounds of the festival grounds. Sure enough, on the opposite side of the festival from our booth were the Log Cabin Republicans. But you wouldn't know it from first glance. The banner across the LCR booth was emblazoned with the words "Inclusion wins" in letters at least a foot tall. Beneath those words - and down in the very bottom right corner in letters perhaps two inches tall - was the logo for the Log Cabin Republicans.
