Context

From Log Cabin Republicans "Our History" webpage in "About": "Log Cabin Republicans have a proud history of fighting to build a stronger, more inclusive Republican Party. LGB Republicans and straight allies have chosen to transform the GOP from the inside, working to overcome the forces of exclusion and intolerance. The name of the organization is a reference to the first Republican President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a Log Cabin. President Lincoln built the Republican Party on the principles of liberty and equality under the law. The party should return to its roots. When the organization was founded, the name, 'Lincoln Club,' was already taken by another GOP group, so organizers instead chose the name Log Cabin Republicans...We will continue working to build a stronger, more inclusive Republican Party based on the principles of freedom and fairness for all Americans. We were proud to endorse President Trump and look forward to working with his administration." (Linked in this record)
