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, i.e., 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 have affirmed that transgender populations suffer
disproportionately from mental health as well as varied 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 ten years that,
indeed, transgenderism violates the rights of others. What women look forward
to sharing their sports rosters, locker rooms, 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,
and 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 Court
forced same-sex “marriage” on the entire state in 2003, by complete judicial
fiat—with enabling from 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, read
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 inverts 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, such that even the Catholic Church
catechism 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 rat her 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.
Heminger 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 their “capitulation,”
but rather mock
the homosexual Republicans for caving to the reform spirit in the country,
saying not the transgenderism madness.
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 which 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.
