The Log Cabin Republicans are calling out the GOP on their anti-gay political stance in a new ad published today on Politico. 

Could the gay conservative group finally be growing tired of the second (or third) class status they're being given within their own party?

Former Senator Chuck Hagel has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Secretary of Defense, but what's the LGBT community's take on his appointment following his previous anti-gay comments? (He's since apologized for the statements and has committed to supporting LGBT servicemembers.)

Despite clear evidence that the tides are turning across America in support of the LGBT community, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has made one thing clear: "You can't sit with us."

That's basically the message they've sent to gay conservative groups, GOProud and the Log Cabin Republicans who, once again, aren't invited to attend the big party.

The Uniting American Families Act—legislation that seeks to allow gay and lesbian Americans to sponsor their international partners for U.S. residency—was reintroduced into Congress on Tuesday. For the first time in the bill's history, the reintroduction included support from GOP lawmakers in the form of co-sponsors Reps. Richard Hanna (NY) and Charlie Dent (PA). 

The Log Cabin Republicans surprised many when they took out a full page ad in The New York Times condemning Secretary of Defense appointee Chuck Hagel for his homophobia. (Hagel made negative remarks towards openly gay U.S. ambassador, James Hormel)

The group's virulent opposition to Hagel was surprising primarily because they'd previously thrown their support behind Republican candidates that presented decidedly anti-gay views. (We're looking at you, Newt Gingrich and Mittens.)

The LCR explains itself after the jump. 

Fresh off their suspicious denunciations of Chuck Hagel, the Log Cabin Republicans have taken out a full page ad in The Hill telling the GOP that it needs to get with the marriage equality picture already.

The Log Cabin Republicans are throwing in their two cents on former Sen. Chuck Hagel's potential appointment as Secretary of Defense. 

The conservative gay organization took out a full page ad in The New York Times. (We're betting that cost more than the aforementioned two cents.)

It looks like not all members of the Log Cabin Republicans are willing to fall in line behind the group's endorsement of a vehemently anti-gay candidate. 

California couple and longtime LCR members Kevin and Don Norte have resigned from the organization following the group's endorsement of Mitt Romney.

Log Cabin Republicans staffer Chris Pick has penned a lengthy letter defending his group's decision to endorse the most anti-gay ticket in a lifetime just as more news of Romney's homophobia hits headlines. Details follow.

Is notorious flip-flopper making promises to Log Cabin Republicans behind closed doors?

After speaking with the Log Cabin Republican's executive director, R. Clarke Cooper, The Nation's Ben Adler theorizes that the Governor may have made a big promise to the LCR regarding the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The act will protect gay, lesbian, and trangender Americans from employment discrimination.

The question is, will he keep it once his anti-gay supporters (who he's also made promises to) get wind of it.
