Part of what keeps life interesting over here is the dual nature of Log Cabin’s mission – at the same time as we work within the GOP fighting for freedom and fairness for all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, we also reach out to the larger GLBT community, speaking about the benefits of conservatism and Log Cabin’s unique role in “the Movement.” LCR Vice President John Sinovic joined a panel of speakers yesterday at the Center for Creating Change, speaking to what could have been a tough crowd for us – young adults. Their response may surprise you.

“Being in a position to watch the students, I could tell this panel was a major eye opener for many. One thing I noticed in particular was the changing and varying reactions to the Log Cabin Republicans. The vice president of Log Cabin Republicans John Sinovic especially had a powerful impact on students. At the beginning, the students were not very receptive to him, but as he spoke he brought a clarity to many people about who this group is and what they are fighting for. They were cheering him by the end.”

As John has said before, this is what Log Cabin Republicans do. We find the folks who disagree with us, gay, Republican or otherwise, and simply make the case for freedom and fairness – and with a little luck, leaved changed hearts and minds behind. This was a good day.
