Dan Savage to Gay Republicans: 'F*ck Off and Shut Up'

According to Dan Savage, with Log Cabin Republicans it doesn't get better.

"Fuck off and shut up" were just a few of the strong words that LGBT activist and sex columnist Dan Savage had for the conservative group Log Cabin Republicans (LCR). In a scathing opinion piece published in The Stranger Thursday, Savage took aim the homocons for slamming the sometimes inconsistent record of Democratic candidates on LGBT rights while holding up the dismally anti-gay voting history of every GOP presidential nominee.

"Every four years gay Republicans slime out from under their rocks to remind us that the Democratic candidate wasn't always perfect on LGBT issues," Savage writes.

Savage pointed to an LCR-paid smear ad on Hillary Clinton that used out of context clips of the then Senator from New York State during a speech where she opposed a republican-backed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. "Wrong on gay rights when it mattered," the LCR ad said.

Calling the gay conservative group "lying, delusional, self-hating shitbags," Savage then pointed to the Human Rights Campaign's fact-based assessment of each remaining GOP presidential candidate's condemnation of LGBT rights.

"It never gets any better," Savage wrote of the LCR. "But no one who writes up the efforts of Log Cabin Republicans to change their party ever thinks to examine the results. There's never an accountability moment for the cocksucking wing of the 'party of personal responsibility.'"

Pointing to what he called a near four-decade record of accomplishing what he alleges as nothing, Savage concluded:

"It's time to pack it in, boys. It's over. You failed. Fuck off and shut up."
