Why Do Gay Republicans Have To Live In Log Cabins?

Question

What's up with these so-called "Log Cabin Republicans" i.e. gay Republicans...? Do these people have to live in log cabins or is this a Republican sexual reference to their private parts?

Answer 1

Probably for the same reason straight republicans and democrats live in log cabins.

Answer 2

The Log Cabin Republicans is a political organization in the United States, consisting of gay, lesbian and bisexual supporters of the Republican Party.

The name of the organization is a reference to the first Republican President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a log cabin.

Maybe Lincoln was the first Woody?

Answer 3

Becuase they love to be surrounded by wood!

Apparently the Log Cabin Republicans is a political organization in the United States, consisting of gay, lesbian and bisexual supporters of the Republican Party. (I love cut and paste, don't you?)

The name of the organization is a reference to the first Republican President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a log cabin. The group initially proposed to name themselves Lincoln Club, but found that name was already in use by another California Republican organization. Thus, an alternate name was chosen that still invoked the memory of President Lincoln: Log Cabin Republicans. Historical accounts by biographers that Lincoln may have been gay surfaced long after the organization was formed, and did not contribute to the choice of the name.

The organization features a portrait of Lincoln on its website and other publicity material. The name has been criticized by other gay and lesbian rights groups because it does not specifically identify the organization as representing gay men and lesbians.

Log Cabin was founded in 1977 in California, as a rallying point for Republicans opposed to the Briggs Initiative, the first attempt to restrict gay and lesbian rights through a ballot measure. The Initiative, which was defeated, would have prevented gay men and lesbians from being public school teachers in California. Among those Republicans who opposed the Initiative was former Governor Ronald Reagan, later President.

Since 1977 Log Cabin has expanded across the United States and has 68 chapters in 37 states and the District of Columbia. It claims to have thousands of members but does not release membership figures. It has a staff of lobbyists in Washington, D.C., holds an annual convention, and raises funds which it donates to Republican officeholders and candidates whom it considers sympathetic to gay and lesbian rights issues. Its Executive Director is Patrick Guerriero.

Answer 4

The cabin is where they insert their logs and for the most part the Republicans have a their cabins closed to this diseased breed .

For the most part Republicans are NOT queer . Primarily this is a liberal funded condom team called the " Trojan Horse Boys " .
