Log Cabin Republicans have been holding New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu up as a model “inclusive” politician. Now they have egg on their face again, when Sununu, like a typical Republican, refused to stand up for LGBT people.

The state party platform includes a plank that praises “traditional families” and says marriage should be “between one man and one woman.” GOP leaders refused to entertain a proposal that would have removed the language.

“As a gay, married, conservative man, am I disappointed there was no discussion on the party’s platform last week? Absolutely,” Log Cabin Republican New Hampshire chapter co-chairman Doug Palardy told the Concord Monitor.

While the group thought Governor Sununu would support the measure, proposed by the former head of the state party, their hopes were dashed when Sununu refused to get involved. The new head of the state party was handpicked by the governor.

3. "Am I disappointed? Absolutely"

"Will I re-evaluate my political choices? Absolutely not." Being gay isn't a choice, Doug; being a fuckheaded Republican stooge is a choice.
