If they didn’t have hypocrisy, Republicans wouldn’t have any “values” at all.
And yet, Log Cabin Republicans will continue to vote Republican.

The wedding became national news in July because Thompson attended his son’s wedding to another man after voting against the Respect for Marriage Act, which would codify federal recognition of same-sex marriages.
Democrats moved the bill after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the 1973 court decision that created a federal right to abortion nationwide. Just as abortion did, federal recognition of state-approved same-sex marriages hinges on precedent rather than federal law.
Democrats wanted to pass new legislation so that if the Supreme Court does overturn its 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges — as one conservative justice has already said it should — same-sex marriage would remain the law of the land.
More than 40 other House Republicans voted for the bill, but Thompson said he has no regrets about opposing it, because he doesn’t believe the Supreme Court would actually go there.
“It was the right vote because it was a political bill that was put on the floor by the Democrats for the purposes of ... getting political leverage, inappropriately, for this next election,” Thompson said, referring to the November midterms. “No one’s looking to step in the way of people choosing who they’re going to marry. It was ridiculous.”
After news broke of Thompson’s attendance, a wedding guest provided BuzzFeed News with the congressman’s father-of-the-groom toast, telling the outlet that “politicians need to be exposed for who they really are” — in Thompson’s case, a loving father who does not personally oppose gay marriage.
