Log Cabin Repub Group Withholds Endorsement of Bush
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Republican Party's largest gay and lesbian organization, which endorsed President Bush in 2000, is withholding its endorsement of the president for re-election because of his support for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

The national board of Log Cabin Republicans voted 22-2 Tuesday night to hold back the endorsement and called Bush "disloyal" to the 1 million gay men and lesbian women who it said supported his candidacy four years ago.

"It is impossible to overstate the depth of anger and disappointment caused by the president's support for an antifamily constitutional amendment. This amendment would not only ban gay marriage, it would also jeopardize civil unions and domestic partnerships," Log Cabin political director Chris Barron said.

The organization said significant victories for gay rights marked the early days of the Bush administration, including the appointment of openly gay employees in the administration and anti-discrimination protection for federal employees.

1. What's the problem?/
I would have thought by now that this group enjoys the cognitive dissonance of their own existance. Why start using logic and observation now? /sarcasm
