The Log Cabin Republicans endorsed President Trump's 2020 reelection bid on Friday, nearly four years after the conservative LGBT organization declined to endorse then-candidate Trump in 2016.
The group said its national board of directors voted to endorse Trump after consulting with its chapters across the country.
Log Cabin Republicans Chairman Robert Kabel and Vice Chairwoman Jill Homan argued in a Washington Post op-ed on Friday that Trump has helped remove LGBTQ rights as a wedge issue in the GOP, citing his administration's policies on ending the spread of HIV/AIDS as well as his push to get other countries to conform to modern human rights standards.
The leaders also cited Trump's appointment of Richard Grenell, who is openly gay, as U.S. ambassador to Germany.

Just heard this on the news. I’m not surprised. Even homosexuals like a good economy!!!
The leadership of the Log Cabin Republicans are the Uncle Toms and the LGBT community! They cherry pick a few token things that he paid lip service to, level some gentile criticism on one or two matter, and overlook a whole lot of damaging actions he has taken against LGBT people.

You know I am no LBGTQ hater, but that buzzfeed article was so disingenuous, it made me want to puke.
The commie Dems cannot afford to allow the LBGTQ community to escape their clutches, so they spin shit like that to round up the queers and keep them captive.
But, I WOULD like to see is the Jesus Nazis of the GOP shut the **** up. If any group deserves no tent, it's those fuckers.

Really? How was it disingenuous? What did they spin and how? Be specific
Look at the first two.
1. Saying it’s legal to fire workers for being transgender.
Last October, Attorney General Jeff Sessions
reversed a federal policy that said transgender workers were protected from discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This new position runs contrary to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission — a federal agency — and numerous federal courts, which have found Title VII does protect transgender workers. For example, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled in March that Title VII protects transgender workers even if the employer raises a religious objection.
Saying that transgender workers are not protected under the Civil Rights Act is NOT the same as saying THAT IT'S LEGAL TO FIRE THEM FOR BEING TRANSGENDER!!!
Please tell me you see the difference.
And, I am not defending that shit either.
Here's #2:
2. Arguing that it’s legal to fire workers for being gay.
The Justice Department made an unexpected move last July when it
stepped into in a major federal lawsuit to argue the Civil Rights Act of 1964 doesn’t protect gay workers from discrimination. The Trump administration’s filing was unusual in part because the Justice Department wasn’t a party in the case, and the department doesn’t typically weigh in on private employment lawsuits. Further, the Justice Department was
fighting against a separate, autonomous federal agency that had supported a gay man's case. The court
ruled in favor of LGBT rights, but the Trump administration hasn’t reversed its stance that it’s legal under federal law to fire employees for being gay.
Again, saying the Civil Rights Act does not protect gay workers is NOT the same thing as that title--IT'S LEGAL TO FIRE WORKERS FOR BEING GAY.
Can you see my point?
That is bullshit spinning and a mischaracterization that the author
intended, knowing that the "summary" title would be the only think that most people read.
You know it's true. The intent was to stir outrage.
Again, I am NOT defending the Trump administration on any of that. I am calling out bullshit where I see it.
