Slog - Comments on It's Just So Sad http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/its_just_so_sad The Log Cabin Republicans are hosting a luncheon—"Big Tent Event"—at the University Club of Saint-Paul. The room seems just as stuffy as the assembled gay Republicans. Sorry, cheap shot. I'm sure some of the guys—and they're mostly guys—in suits and ties know how to get down and dirty. But... the room is stuffy and compared to the bejewelled revelers at the Xcel Center, so are the guys sitting around the tables. And honestly?

This is so 1968 - but this time it's the Republicants that are incompetent.

The world needs to know that not all gay men have fashion sense, not all lesbians like lentil soup and not all queers have the sense to not support a party that would like to legislate them out of existence.

also, OT, where the fuck is ECB? On vacation? Comatose? On sabbatical? Canned? Martyred in the name of St Hillary?

Her blog is kaput; she apparently hasn't paid to keep her domain name...

Weird.

I don't yell at them at dinner parties but I wouldn't fuck one of 'em even if he were the most beautiful man on earth and was kneeling at my feet begging me for it. I just would feel too dirty fucking a traitor to the cause.

I wonder how many of them would have gone "I dunno what this is, some guy gave me a ticket and said 'free lunch'."

Greg Lawson Is this speaker new to American and John McCain? How could anyone even awake for part of a day not remember that McCain is against gay marriage and civil unions, voted for the Defense of Marriage act and still says that Don't Ask Don't Tell is a great policy? Where is the inclusion--that you money grubbing repubs got a tiny room that you couldn't even fill at the RNC?? Get a life, open your eyes and se the hate.

It seems unnecessary to negate a whole political party entirely, considering that ideally the party of Lincoln should be as inclusive as its original principals.

The Republican party has effected zero positive change for gays.

I think it's better to make a little dent than no dent at all. It certainly isn't causing any damage to gay rights.

IF YOU SEE...they are all white, nto a single latino, black, asian or any other "minority"...just a bunch of self haters ...sad, sad. They dont stand with their LGBT community. They stand for the republicans values which are self hate.
