File under: "Whatever".
According to this article on Yahoo, Jeffrey Bingham Mead -- a self-described leader of Log Cabin Republicans in Hawaii -- is disbanding the group.
According to the article, Nat'l Log Cabin Republicans asked him to spearhead Hawaii efforts to overturn Hawaii's famous state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Unlike most other Log Cabin Republicans, Mead prefers marriage to be defined as between a man and a woman. Referring to members of his group: "All of us, including me, believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. I offer no apologies to anyone," Mead said.
Also, he's angry that Republican governor Linda Lingle didn't hire him or other Log Cabin Repubiicans into her staff, seeing as the Hawaii Log Cabin group formed to defend her during her 2000 campaign against gay Democratic attacks. "I have been disappointed that the warm welcome we received from the Lingle campaign was highly elusive after the inauguration. I wish to make it clear that no gays or lesbians hired or appointed to staff, commissions or committees in the administration included members of the Log Cabin Republicans of Hawaii or its supporters," sayd Mead.
Going on, the National organization says the Hawaii chapter doesn't exist.
"There was no Hawaii chapter to disband," said Log Cabin Political Director Christopher Barron. Apparently, Mead's group was just an ad hoc organization which interacted with the Log Cabin Republicans.
Tommorrow: Mead isn't gay.
