Patrick Sammon, leader of the gay Republican group Log Cabin Republicans, released the following statement regarding Sen. John McCain's vice presidential candidate pick, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska:

"Alaska Governor Sarah Palin can help Sen. McCain win this election by appealing to independent and young voters. She's a mainstream Republican who will unite the Party and serve John McCain well as Vice President. Gov. Palin is an inclusive Republican who will help Sen. McCain appeal to gay and lesbian voters."

First: Log Cabin Republicans is GL-organization. I do not think that they support banning discrimination because of gender identity or expression etc. . And Palin could unite party because of her strong support among Christian right. The hole statement is rubbish.
