A Charleston County, South Carolina house described as “log cabin style” burned to the ground on Saturday night, officials with the St Paul’s Fire District told WCBD. “Crews immediately went to work in a defensive mode, establishing tender shuttle operations to maintain an adequate water supply,” the fire department said in a statement, adding “Once the fire was contained and extensive overhaul operations began, crews transitioned the water supply operation to drafting from an on-site water source, allowing firefighters to continue overhaul operations efficiently.” No injuries were reported.

The other “log cabin,” as in the one you might have expected to read about from the headline, did not burn down. It definitely got smaller though as on Thursday its leader, Ross Hemminger, announced in an op-ed printed by Townhall.com that the Log Cabin Republicans will no longer welcome trans individuals into the group. “The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all – nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors,” Hemminger wrote as though hardcore MAGA Evangelicals at the core of the GOP wouldn’t just say the same exact thing about cisgender gay men and lesbian women, that they’re all going to burn in hell together for who they are, regardless of which letter in LGBT they identify as.

“The new era of gender identity politics is not the movement we supported and fought for. Gay men and women are losing public support across the country, and support for gay marriage and other once-widely accepted rights is eroding. Why? Because many voters today weren’t alive or cognizant of the politics of gay marriage winding its way through the courts and gaining ground in public opinion. Their view of the gay community is based on today’s radical transgender activists with their unnecessary, discomfiting focus on America’s youth,” Hemminger continued and holy fucking shit.

He actually wrote that, all the lessons of 1930s Germany be damned. So maybe if this article were solely about the Log Cabin Republicans maybe the headline should have been “Log Cabin filled with oily rags and too many appliances plugged into single outlet, at increased risk of burning to ground.”
