from http://online.logcabin.org/about/ (which is also a redirect from www.logcabin.org/ Google returns several state organizations as well. There is no shortage of information here. And by the way, thanks for metioning this. I had no idea that these people existed. This can be helpful to me here in Ann Arbor.)
What we believe
We are loyal Republicans. We believe in low taxes, limited government, strong defense, free markets, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. Log Cabin represents an important part of the American family-taxpaying, hard working people who proudly believe in this nation's greatness. We also believe all Americans have the right to liberty, freedom, and equality. Log Cabin stands up against those who preach hatred and intolerance. We stand up for the idea that all Americans deserve to be treated equal-regardless of their sexual orientation.
Why we exist
The mere existence of our organization recognizes the fact that the Republican Party still has a long way to go on issues affecting gay and lesbian civil rights. In recent years, the GOP has made important strides toward inclusion, however much more must be done. Too many people in the party remain hostile to gay and lesbian civil rights. Log Cabin will confront the radical right's bigotry head-on as we join the majority of Republicans who believe inclusion wins.
(Then there is the theory that this was cooked up by people out to destroy the Republican party by infiltrating it.)
(Also: sorry about the boldface type, also the green. The cutting and pasting did that.)
