Log Cabin Republicans Statement on Presidential Election Results

Log Cabin Republicans is the nation’s largest Republican organization representing LGBT conservatives and straight allies. For nearly 40 years we have been the voice for an inclusive Republican Party with state and local chapters nationwide, a full-time office in Washington, D.C., a federal political action committee and state political action committees. The following is their statement on the results of the Presidential election:

 ... America chose change over the status quo, the future over the past, and conservative solutions over empty liberal promises — America chose Donald J. Trump. Log Cabin Republicans extends our hearty congratulations to the President-Elect of the United States!

While we’ve had occasional differences with Mr. Trump throughout his unique campaign for our nation’s highest office, Log Cabin Republicans never hesitated to offer praise when it was due. Mr. Trump’s unprecedented and repeated overtures to “the LGBTQ community” were invariably lauded by our organization, and we look forward to seeing those words turn to action in a Trump administration. We likewise stand firm in our unwavering commitment to working with our country’s president-elect to ensure the historic advances in LGBT freedom we have fought for and secured will continue.

As the country’s original and largest organization of LGBT Republicans and straight allies, we stand united behind our next president, optimistic for the future, and committed to “Make America Great Again”!
