The Log Cabin “Republicans,” the so-called “gay conservative” faction within the GOP, have announced that they will no longer rally or vouch for the T, that is, they are closing up shop on their transgenderism advocacy.

We should all celebrate, right?
As some may say, the drag queen, er, the devil, is in the details.
Their former communications director and current president, Ross Hemminger, published a full statement on Townhall.com outlining this new policy. As an interesting side note, Hemminger provides PR and media relations at the American Pharmacists Association (APhA). Big Pharma loves LGBT, since that population requires so much medication and medical care as a consequence of the destructive behaviors rampant among homosexual and transgender populations.
Here’s the main portion of Hemminger’s statement:
In 2015, the Log Cabin Republicans Board of Directors voted to add the ‘T’ under the umbrella of our mission—out of a belief that all adults should be allowed to pursue their own happiness, free of government interference, as long as it did not impede on the inalienable rights of others.
At the time, we did not believe that we would find ourselves where we are today. The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all—nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors …
That is why, after significant discussion with our membership, our Board of Directors voted to refine Log Cabin Republicans’ national advocacy focus to concentrate specifically on issues of sexual orientation and conservative values—in other words, we are an LGB advocacy organization, as our founders envisioned and as our moral center calls us to be.
There is so much to confront and expose here.
Since when has the pursuit of transgenderism resulted in “happiness”? Study after study has affirmed that transgender populations suffer disproportionately from mental health issues as well as various physical problems. Since when does advocacy for such mental illness constitute a pursuit of anything besides hospital stays and medical bills?
Furthermore, we have witnessed for the last 10 years that, indeed, transgenderism violates the rights of others. What woman looks forward to sharing her sports roster, locker room, or bathroom with a biological male cosplaying as female? How many women have been harmed sparring with these confused, creepy men masquerading as women?
Clearly, the unalienable rights of women have been harmed for quite some time.
Look at the scores of detransitioners calling out the abusive medicalization of children struggling with identity dysphoria or growing up in at-risk environments, who actually needed counseling, not the mutilation of their chests and genitals. The rising awareness and outrage with the transgender cult is unmistakable. Yet only now do the Log Cabin Republicans choose to take a stand?
Then Hemminger claims that his gay “conservative” group never anticipated all the gender-bending madness that would ensue. Really? He could have looked at Massachusetts when the Commonwealth’s Supreme Judicial Court forced same-sex “marriage” throughout the state in 2003 by complete judicial fiat—with the cooperation of Governor Mitt Romney. In a matter of months, transgender rights and advocacy exploded across the Commonwealth.
In fact, within days of that abortive ruling, a more transformative, fundamentally damaging change took place: marriage licenses changed their text from “Husband and Wife” to “Partner A and Partner B.”
That is the essence of transgenderism: erasing the inescapable, irreducible, inalienable differences of male and female. Homosexuality at its core treats men as if they can be women, since they are forced into receptive sexual activities. Women attempt to play dominant, that is, masculine, sexual roles with other women. The seeds of transgenderism were already rooted in homosexual advocacy and normalization, so the Log Cabin “Republicans” have no standing to play dumb or be shocked by such negative developments.

Notice also that the Log Cabin Republicans have no problem with transgenderism for adults. Yet they should. We all should. No one should aid and abet mental illness, and no one should be forced to go along with such a monstrous, destabilizing lie.
I also had to laugh at the specific phrase “[W]e are an LGB advocacy organization, as our founders envisioned and as our moral center calls us to be.” There is no moral center that justifies or promotes homosexuality. Such conduct is inherently destructive, and even the Catechism of the Catholic Church recognizes such behaviors as disordered. Hemminger’s use of the phrase “our founders envisioned” is a perverse twisting of the true Founding Fathers of our nation: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and so on. These men would never have countenanced, let alone tolerated, sodomy or cross-dressing.
Here’s the biggest fraud. They claim that they are backing away from the T because of “the children.” True to their subversive agenda, this LGB(T) advocacy organization attempts to pose (or rather sashay?) as a bunch of leave-us-alone do-gooders who want what’s best for the kids.
The real reason for this pivot is more selfish and insidious. Hemminger adds:
However, the new era of gender identity politics is not the movement we supported and fought for. Gay men and women are losing public support across the country, and support for gay marriage and other once-widely accepted rights is eroding. Why? Because many voters today weren’t alive or cognizant of the politics of gay marriage winding its way through the courts and gaining ground in public opinion. Their view of the gay community is based on today’s radical transgender activists with their unnecessary and discomfiting focus on America’s youth.
They don’t care about the kids. They care about themselves and the so-called privileges they have acquired through judicial fiat and media/cultural/political jamming. Notice the replete falsehoods, like “gay men and women,” as though sexual conduct is an innate identity—never mind that millions of people around the world have left homosexuality and transgenderism to lead normal, happy, even thriving lives.
Notice also that they blame the transgender madness for the increasing opposition to same-sex “marriage” and so-called gay rights. The truth is that the public is recognizing that all the problems pro-family activists warned would happen have happened. Children are being trafficked like commodities to gay couples via surrogacy. Creepy teachers and other professional groomers are pushing LGBT propaganda on children in the public schools, often without the parents’ knowledge or permission. Who can ignore the numerous churches, charities, and small businesses unduly harmed by vexatious litigation if they refuse to “bake the cake”?
The Log Cabin Republicans are trying to take cover from the growing onslaught against the LGBT agenda by taking a wobbly stance against transgenderism. Already, the pro-LGBT Left has assailed this group for its “capitulation” and mocked the homosexual Republicans for caving to the reform spirit in the country rather than continuing to support the transgenderism agenda.
Yet the Right should speak up as well and reject their cultural Marxist agenda. The Log Cabin “Republicans” are advocating for all sorts of harm to our constitutional republic and the American body politic. They may change course or reduce their speed, but they still pursue an anti-family agenda that harms children, undermines families, and hurts society as a whole.
If the Log Cabin Republicans want to do good for the country, they would disband entirely.
