Oregon GOP Drops Anti-Gay Language

Clarke Cooper, who heads the Log Cabin Republican, hopes last weekend’s decision by the Oregon GOP to strip out anti-gay rights language from its party platform will help spur the same action in other states and at next year’s Republican national convention. “Hopefully the updated ORP [Oregon Republican Party] platform will serve as positive example to other state committees as well as delegates to the RNC convention in 2012” wrote Cooper in a note to Oregon Republican Chairman Allen Alley. The Log Cabin Republicans is a 22,000-member group based in Washington, D.C. that works within the GOP to encourage equal rights for gays and lesbians. Cooper said in an interview that the Oregon GOP may be the first state Republican party to remove language critical of gays or gay rights from its platform/ Jeff Mapes , Oregonian. More here.
