Most contributors use TBP to call out the Log Cabin Republicans for their idiotic support of anti-gay candidates. That's a valid critique (even if it is funny to see Alex used in their fundraising materials as an example of a big bad blogger picking on the poor group of rich white guys) since the LCR tries to support socially moderate candidates.

But the one thing I've always understood about LCR's purpose is that they are a necessary part of our community. There are gay-friendly Republicans just like there are unfriendly Democrats - and someone needs to be working in the Republican Party to build support for our community. Relying on one party to have a majority of seats in the legislature and all of those seats to be held by gay-friendly politician is absurd.

Today's LCR e-mail blast listed three specific instances of pro-gay Republican news bites. In the interest of fairness, it only seems appropriate to share them since they hadn't been mentioned in any of our other political posts.
