NEW: The Texas Republican Party has voted to shut out Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay Republicans, from participating in their convention. Log Cabin Republicans just said it is “shameful” they they are being “excluded” and that Republicans are being “narrow-minded.”

Hey, @LogCabinGOP - get out of denial.

The Federalist Society thinks Lawrence v. Texas was wrong and should be scrapped like Roe, and states should be able to make YOU illegal.

You're no longer useful to them, and they've never intended to stop with the "icky" queers.

Wake up.

I mean, I get it. In the 90s and 2000s, you could make a real argument that as otherwise-conservatives, you'd do a lot better for queers in general within the @GOP trying to make our rights bipartisan. It's good theory, at least.

The @GOP never thought of you as conservatives - they thought not only were you not conservatives, you could not be conservatives because of being gay. And they'd say so, straight up.

Changing that was the mission. I get it.

But once fundamentalist culture took over your party in the late 1990s - the political culture they brought with them as they filled the @GOP rank and file - that set the clock ticking, and for a while now, that game has been over.

You're no longer useful to them, @LogCabinGOP - and they're telling you in clear terms.

They hate you just as much as they hate the rest of us. When I say "they'll make us ALL illegal again if they can"...

...that includes you.

Yeah. They really will.

Wake up.

Game's over.
