Pro-Gay Republicans Come To A Cruel Awakening

After defending Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill and other antiLGBT legislation, the Log Cabin Republicans organization will begin to oppose some of the laws even though they haven’t said which ones they’re against. LCR President Charles Moran made the announcement recently saying that some of the laws are “actually bad”, implying that he and the LCR didn’t realize their Republican ‘allies’ actually hate them just as much as any other LGBT+ organization. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR), the LGBTQ conservative organization that has defended Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill by comparing its opponents to pedophiles, has said that it will oppose some of the numerous bills targeting LGBTQ students around the country, but it’s unclear which bills it’ll actually oppose.

“Every one of these bills are different in each state, and some of them are truly dangerous,” LCR President Charles Moran told The Washington Post. “Some of them are actually bad. Some of them we are going to come out and oppose.”

“I was not prepared to do this this year,” Moran said. “I’m having to rapidly build a legislative analysis team to really go through and identify the states that have these bills.” His claim is curious considering that Republicans have spent the last two years discussing their aims to ban LGBTQ content and transgender athletes from public schools.

Moran said his team will help develop a state legislative strategy to oppose some of the bills, but it’s unclear which laws the group might oppose. Majorities of Republican legislators have openly supported bans on trans athletes gender-affirming care for trans youth. Similarly, the LCR has recently stated its opposition to “the radical gender ideology” of trans visibility and trans-affirming policies in schools."
