Chair of Texas Log Cabin Republicans group resigns after state GOP adopts new platform

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The acting chair of the Log Cabin Republicans of Texas (LCR) resigned Thursday just days after the new proposed Texas GOP platform defined homosexuality as an “abnormal lifestyle choice.”

In his resignation letter shared via the Log Cabin Republicans of Texas social media page, Michael Cargill said that it was with “great concern” that he leaves the board.

He added that David Garza, the LCR’s Texas secretary and vice president of LCR Austin, along with Mimi Planas, the president of LCR San Antonio, will also resigning from the Texas board.

Cargill cited a “path of divisiveness” and “lack of respect,” as well as “bully tactics, lack of cohesion and unwillingness to work with all chapter and state LCR leaders in the organization.”

3. confusing to me. what's the connection resignation to the new laws?

Should we give a rats ass? What's the significance? I don't get the report.

Log Cabin Republicans are traitors to me.

4. Wowzer, I NEVER understood Log Cabin GOP

nor Uncle Tom GOP. (Am I allowed to use that term here? I don't know, it seems a mainstream description of what it represents, but if it offends, please let me know and I will remove it.)

5. so he's willing to trash everyone in the country except suddenly he is a victim of his peers lol nt

6. Well, I guess that means that the GOP is now totally free of anyone "different"

Maybe not yet, but they're working on it.

Not sure how many "differents" they'll need to purge before they become a pure lily-white group.

As Far As I Know, the (r)epuglicons across this country seem to have more perversities than even the normal 18yo freshman college student. Most of them will tangle with their bedsheets if the nearest animal isn't available.

7. There are just some AA, Hispanic, and gay folks that are eternal optimists

Somehow they are going to be accepted by the christofascists, magically, one day, sometime soon, honest!

10. Greedy fucking idiot finally sees the light. Who cares?

11. So... Does that mean you're going to totally leave the party and vote D?

Or is your money still more important than your rights? Are you going to stay home or vote libertarian because "I can't vote for the Dems"?

It took you until 2022 to finally get that your precious party hates you? It finally took the Year of LGBTQ Hate to open your eyes?

I saw 30 years ago how much the Republiqans hate us.... And as hard as it is to believe, those Republiqans were warm and cuddly compared to today's edition.

So how far you gonna take it, Cargill? Gonna work to stop the fascists? Gonna convince others to join you? Or can you QOP still count on your votes in November?
