maybe the log cabinites
are actually gay after all



queerDay waves us down for this seattle post-intelligencer article:

A pro-gay Republican group plans to file a lawsuit asking a federal court to overturn the U.S. government's "don't ask, don't tell" policy covering gays in the military.
Log Cabin Republican leaders said the suit would be filed Tuesday in federal district court in Los Angeles. The "don't ask, don't tell" policy, put into place in 1993 during the Clinton administration, allows gays and lesbians to serve so long as they do not disclose their sexual orientation and do not engage in homosexual acts.
Log Cabin members serving in the military asked the group's leaders over the last four months to take legal action, the group's attorney, Marty Meekins, said Tuesday. They did not come forward because of a specific incident, but simply because "of fear of the military finding out their sexual orientation if they are gay and lesbian," Meekins said.
"This case is fundamentally about correcting a misguided governmental policy based on prejudice toward gay and lesbian Americans," he added.
While it's not the first challenge of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, Log Cabin officials say they are encouraged by a historic Supreme Court decision in 2003 that struck down a Texas law that made homosexual sex a crime.
i swear the end of days must be coming. i haven't seen the log cabin republicans do anything responsible in my entire lifetime. i mean, all they do is curry favour with henrys (and em'lys) what want to see them dead for being queer; they scurry and kiss ass and the like but nary a negative word or stand-up thing (besides being [mostly] out) have they done.

and now this. admittedly, they spin it as an anti-clintonista move, but honestly this is just amazing. amazing.

but i'm still not buying their crap line of bs about being able to be a self-respecting queer republican. ooh, gee, they managed not to support bush in this election - crying and wailing all the time.

screw that, i'm not taking that crap from a str8 man; how much less shall i bother with self-loathing elephant queens?

still, back to the point at hand: bravo for standing up for homos for once, you big fags.
