I admit it… I’m on the Log Cabin Republicans mailing list. No, I’m not a republican. I’m just on the list. I don’t really know why. Maybe I don’t want to feel left out of anything politically queer or have some need to know what everyone is up to. Okay… not everyone. I don’t care what the Green Party is doing (but if you do, here ya go – green link).

The Log Cabins really aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be. They’ve got a four-day convention and Liberty Education Forum National Symposium in New Orleans coming up. Here’s a summary of the agenda:

It focuses on “the battle for gay and lesbian civil rights.” Panel topics include “Corporate Diversity”; “Family Fairness,” described as “the best strategy for achieving protection and recognition for gay and lesbian families”; “Is Sexual Orientation a Choice?” (with a speaker, Chandler Burr, who has written extensively about research into a biological or genetic basis for homosexuality); and “Examining the Truth about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” about the “best way to end” the nation’s policy on gays in the military.

Sounds pretty harmless to me. I really do think they should have used this ad to promote it, though. C’mon… we all know how much republicans love the flag.

Remember this…
Don’t let being queer stop you from doing anything – even from being a republican.
