Log Cabin Republicans: GOP Position On Gay Marriage A Liability

6. It's always seemed so contradictory to me, but then I guess they really do support

Conservative policies and in some ways, by remaining in the Republican Party they have not left it to the extremists. They have been very activist on Gay Rights, and I haven't seen them take much flack from the far right.

The question I always have, regarding the Log Cabin Republicans, Minorities such as African Americans and women, who remain in the Republican Party, 'is it better to stay and fight from within the party for their rights, or to leave the party to the bigots and leave us with two parties, one that is 100% bigoted and the other fighting them all the time. Some gains have been made, such as Republicans finally being dragged, kicking and screaming yes, but to accepting women in powerful political positions, along with minorities. Would that have happened if there were no minorities in the party?

Still can't answer that question. But minorities like everyone else, do have different political viewpoints and some apparently are not willing to be forced out of one of the only two political parties by the bigots.

Now maybe it's near time for Republicans to accept openly Gay policians, as they have women and minorities.

Otoh, it's possible that if all minorities had left the party, they might have moved faster to stop denying rights to all Americans. I really do not know.
