Log Cabin Republicans removes ‘T’ from LGBT advocacy, says ‘radical’ trans activists are eroding gay support
The Log Cabin Republicans, the United States' most prominent gay conservative advocacy group, has announced it is distancing itself from transgender advocacy to focus solely on gay, lesbian and bisexual (LGB) rights. The group argues that "radical" transgender activism has become a liability, eroding public and political support for the broader gay rights movement, and says it wants to realign its priorities accordingly.
The move reflects a wider shift within parts of the conservative movement, where debates over transgender issues—particularly around youth medical treatment and participation in women's sports—have become increasingly prominent and contentious. The article, published by Fox News, does not provide extensive additional detail on the organisation's internal reasoning or reaction from LGBT advocacy groups beyond the group's own framing of the decision.
