It's hard enough being kinky and conservative. Any conservative gays here?
 
Yeah I don't get it, do they own log cabins or is this some stupid calling them log cabin republicans because they are not like a normal republican thingy? :confused:

Wow, way to live under a rock. :rolleyes:

Log Cabin Republicans is the national organization for gay Republicans, dear.
 
What's the origin of the name?

It was going to be the "Lincoln Club" but they changed it to "Log Cabin Republicans" because Lincoln was born in a log cabin. I'm not sure why they associate themselves with Abe Lincoln, but that is the origin of the name.
 
I stay away from politics. ;)

Most likely they associate with Abraham Lincoln because he was the one responsible for removing slavery, simply because it was wrong. Sorta the same thing needs to be done for gay's.
 
They say they picked the name simply because Lincoln was the first Republican President. But it's kind of an open secret that they picked it because some historians believe Abe was gay.
 
Yeah, I've heard that...the evidence seems less plausible than for someone like Eleanor Roosevelt, but it's possible.
 
Yeah, it's based mostly on letters he wrote to a male friend, but they don't really say enough to prove anything.
 
I believe that the expression refers to coming from humble origins as opposed to being from the affluent class.
