The group has more than 200 members nation wide, with about a dozen living in Oregon. Ac cording to President Gary Baslian, the chapters have three main areas of responsibility: to speak out when Republicans make homophobic remarks, to hold Democrats accountable for campaign promises to the gay and lesbian community and to insist that lesbian and gay leaders represent all community members, not just the Democratic platform. “On several occasions, we have been able to communicate with Republican officials and staff members who do not usually talk with gay groups,” said a press release from the group. “Our being Republican opens many doors that are usually closed to most other gay groups.” To become a member or to help start a chapter, contact the national headquarters: Republicans, P.O.
