“At the time, we did not believe that we would find ourselves where we are today,” Hemminger continued. “The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all — nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors. They push schools to teach radical gender ideology; they want biological men in women’s sports regardless of the consequences; perhaps most offensively, they support gender reassignment treatments for minors, often without the knowledge or consent of the parents, knowing full well these treatments are mostly irreversible.”

    It’s crazy how this sounds just like non-cabin Republicans talking about log cabin Republicans.

    Republican state Sen. Bob Hall, 77, said LGBT groups promoted “unnatural sex,” according to the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, while 69-year-old GOP activist Steven Hotze charged gay people with encouraging “immoral and perverted sexual proclivities” in emails opposing the Texas Log Cabin Republicans’ recognition by the state party.

    “The [Log Cabin Republicans] is a front group for the LGBTQ,” Hotze wrote, which he claims seeks to “force businesses, churches, schools, governments, and individuals to accept, affirm, and celebrate those who promote and participate in perverted sexual activities.”
