And this is why I’ve never understood how "Log Cabin" Republicans explain themselves…

I was unaware of a lot of this. I knew about the Grindr surges, but that's about it.
But at least Log Cabin Republicans are straightforward about the fact that they are gay. In the past, when I heard someone ask how a gay person could support the Republican party, my answer was, " one household with two professional male incomes and no dependents = Republican tax bracket!" Also, I figured there was no contradiction in being gay and being a hawk about the old Soviet Union and Communism. Those two issues: taxes and spending, and Cold War politics, used to be the hallmarks of the Republican party.
But the Republican party today is a lot different from what it was, so I wonder as well nowadays what the Log Cabin Republicans are about. I do recall them running anti Trump ads on TV, so perhaps they seem themselves as a "reformist" wing of the party today. (Or maybe I am wrong about that and am confusing them with the Lincoln Project? )
