Via BoifromTroy..... BFT comments:

I'll save Mike Rogers the effort. The new State Chairman of the District of Columbia Republican Party is gay. And unlike other State Chairmen of other parties, he's out.

Kabel's complete statement is posted here:

"My election is a mandate for the D.C. Republican Party to be relevant again in this city, and to take the side of the thousands of D.C. residents who have had enough of the results of one-party rule and one-party government," Kabel said.

Kabel said that in addition to building the party's structure, he wants to reach out to all communities in the District regardless of party labels, and to emphasize cooperation and partnership between the DC GOP and a broad range of community organizations and activists on issues of common ground that will improve the lives and well-being of the over half-million residents of the District of Columbia.

"We are the party of clean government, real education reform, fiscal responsibility, individual freedom and community development in all 8 Wards of D.C.," Kabel said. "We will also push for real results on D.C. voting rights, not just hot air year after year. We will go out to the neighborhoods and take the side of the residents, the businesses, the parents and the taxpayers of the District of Columbia against the forces of stagnancy and corruption that stand in their way."

"And as the only urban state GOP in the nation, we will stand on our DC party platform and proudly build the most inclusive Republican Party in America," Kabel said.

The DC Republican party has been working with Virginia's Rep Tom Davis to pass congressional legislation to allow DC "home rule".

GayPatriot weighs in with characteristic venom:

Mr. Kabel has long ties with the establishment of the Log Cabin Republicans national organization and Board. I would hope that his moving into the RNC infrastructure may help Log Cabin realize they truly have a third name in their title. But, alas, my sources tell me that Mr. Kabel is a lot of the root of the "gay community must love us" LCR strategy.

Time will tell. Good luck, Mr. Kabel.
