Log Cabin Republicans cut ties with transgender movement
The group cites constitutional principles and disagreements with contemporary transgender advocacy priorities, reversing its 2015 decision to include trans people in its mission.
- On Thursday, the Log Cabin Republicans announced they will no longer advocate for transgender people, marking a significant policy shift for the nation's largest organization representing gay conservatives.
- President Ross Hemminger stated the move aims to concentrate on sexual orientation and conservative values, citing member discomfort with gender-affirming care for minors and trans participation in sports.
- The decision reverses the group's 2015 platform change that included transgender rights, aligning with the current Republican administration's anti-trans priorities as threats to marriage equality intensify.
- Human Rights Campaign spokesperson Delphine Luneau denounced the move, stating, "Splitting up the LGBTQ+ community and pitting us against each other is exactly what anti-equality forces want to see happen."
- Critics warn that sacrificing one part of the community will not protect others, as the GOP increasingly prioritizes opposition to trans rights amid renewed internal threats to marriage equality.
