Box 1281 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33302 FLORIDA LCR OVERCOMING LAVENDER PERCEPTION Ft. Lauderdale, October 8, 1999. The Broward Log Cabin Club of Florida (BLCCF) announced today the bridging of another political breakthrough for its Republican members and friends. According to Jack Majeske, BLCCF President, "Log Cabin will have a good size delegation at this year's 'Victory 2000' GOP state convention in Orlando. Nine of our delegates come from the Florida Gold Coast area alone." Andy Eddy, BLCCF Director for Community Relations and Outreach noted, "This is a tribute to our former Broward County GOP Chairman, Lew Keller, who deeply believed in the GOP 'Big Tent.' Only a few short years ago this was a dream, now it's a reality. He's smiling down on us this weekend." Mark Ferrara, BLCCF Executive Vice President went on to say, "For years this club has fought the evangelical-fundamentalist right while facing the bitter backlash of the LesBiGay left. Regardless of the abuse, we attempted to hold the high ground. We would not run because we believed we would overcome the perceived lavender ceiling that people said would never be penetrated." The Broward Log Cabin group is the only officially chartered LCR club in the South that is state sanctioned by the GOP.
