The DC chapter of gay GOP group Log
Cabin Republicans last week voted against endorsing Donald Trump for
president.
A majority (56%) of members voted
against recommending that the national Log Cabin organization endorse
Trump.
Local chapters do not endorse
presidential candidates.
Casey Pick, a longtime member, argued
that the group should stand with prominent Republicans who have
declined to endorse Trump's campaign.
“Senator Susan Collins [of Maine],
Senator Mark Kirk [of Illinois], and a dozen members of the House of
Representatives have taken the courageous stand to say, 'No, we don't
want to endorse Donald Trump,'” she said. “He's not fit to
represent our party. He doesn't represent our values.”
Gregory Angelo, executive director of
the national Log Cabin Republicans, told the
Washington
Blade that his group's decision “will have significance.”
Previous endorsements have been widely reported in the media.
