Log Cabin Republicans sever LGB’s ties with T, citing transgender ‘focus on minors’

August 22, 2026 | | Print Article

Faulting gender ideologues for loss of support, the nation’s most well-known Republican-aligned homosexual advocacy group announced an official cut in the alphabet acronym.

Of late, leftists have demonstrated their seeming willingness to welcome any radical into their tent until such time as those views become a problem at the polls. While they’ve embraced and advanced the groomer mentality, pushing for childhood access to genital mutilation and chemical castration, the same can’t be said across the aisle as the Log Cabin Republicans voted to sever LGB’s ties with the T.

Featured on Townhall.com, LCR President Ross Hemminger penned an op-ed under the banner, “Log Cabin Republicans Renews Its National Advocacy Focus,” wherein he announced that after more than a decade of recognition, “the new era of gender identity politics is not the movement we supported and fought for.”

“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,” he wrote, having emphasized the organization’s founding principles of “limited government, individual liberty, and equality.” Worth noting, that was the same year that the Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges on same-sex unions.

“At the time, we did not believe that we would find ourselves where we are today,” continued Hemminger, who addressed the fixation on children that brought the world Drag Queen Story Hour and porn into school libraries. “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. They push schools to teach radical gender ideology; they want biological men in women’s sports regardless of the consequences; perhaps most offensively, they support gender reassignment treatments for minors, often without the knowledge or consent of the parents, knowing full well these treatments are mostly irreversible.”

Listing accomplishments for rainbow standard bearers like open service in the military and Obergefell — on which Justice Clarence Thomas made the case to reconsider with the overturning of Roe v. Wade — the op-ed presented gender ideologues as an albatross for the cause. “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.”

Reactions were widely supportive of the move as a trend in the right direction, with many posting their own announcements that the T was all that was keeping them from being a member of LCR.
