LCR Illinois has a very unique role within the Republican Party and the GLBT community throughout the State of Illinois and in the Chicago area. We share the goals and vision of Log Cabin Republicans nationwide and the core principals of the Republican Party. We believe in low taxes, limited government, strong national defense, free markets, personal responsibility, and individual liberty. We believe all Americans have the right to liberty, freedom, and equality. Log Cabin stands up against those who preach hatred and intolerance. We stand up for the idea that all Americans deserve to be treated equal-regardless of their sexual orientation.
