Most Democrats believe in gay rights and believe in protecting gays against discrimination, most are firmly against the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy (which ironically was signed by a Democrat). But Democrats are split in their beliefs on gay marriage. Although most Democrats don't want there to be an amendment that defines marriage as between a man and woman, some of those same Democrats don't want gay marriage made legal mostly due to religious reasons. Practically all Demcrats support civil unions for gays.

Is there a liberal democratic LGBT group equivalent to the log cabin republican organization?

Not really. There is a group called the Stonewall Democrats, but it's function is quite different than Log Cabin Republicans, since the vast majority of the Democratic Party accepts gay people and gay rights. So there is no need need for a "log cabin" type of group.Not really.
