Log Cabin Republicans drop transgender advocacy, citing erosion of gay support

The Log Cabin Republicans, a prominent gay conservative group, announced it will stop advocating for transgender issues, removing the "T" from its mission to focus on LGB advocacy. President Ross Hemminger said the board voted to reverse its 2015 decision to include transgender people, citing what he called "radical" transgender activism focused on minors, including gender reassignment treatments and school ideology. Hemminger argued this focus is eroding public support for gay rights and marriage, and that the group will now prioritize sexual orientation issues like marriage, adoption, and military service.
