My problem is when closeted, gay Republicans are so self loathing that they will actively work against their friends and their own long-term interests in the name of “fitting in” and protecting their career.

Who the heck sleeps with these guys anyway? Oh wait, other closeted, self-loathing gay guys.

Democrats gave up any sense of shame and human decency to defend this lecherous political Pinocchio. I still recall the claims that “it isn’t really sex”, and it being OK to lie about sex. He committed perjury, and he later lost his license to practice law in his home state. So the misnamed “brilliant” (another lower-caser) has no credibility in this matter, nor does anyone who defended Clinton’s activities.

No one seems to have noticed that gay democrats are not screaming in horror and fear.

That’s because most of them are not closeted.

As for ones rights to keep private matters private, don’t you think the Republican party tossed all of that out the window when they forced a stitting President to testify (and lie) under oath about his own private sexual behaviour?

The word hypocrite it’s spelled REPUBLICAN these days

As for the Democrats’ devotion to the principles of the USA: a Billie Holiday song said: “Southern trees bear strange fruit”, and this fruit was cultivated by Democrats for nearly a century after Reconstruction. It was, of course, a metaphor for lynching.

And the fact that congressional Democrats not-so-subtly implied they’d try to yank ABC’s broadcast license if “The Path to 9/11″ wasn’t edited the way they like it (i.e. blame Bush, exonerate Clinton) makes me question the party’s committment to the principles of free trade (and don’t even try to bring up the “Ronald Reagan Eats Babies” mini-series, that was a grassroots effort by individuals not connected to the government. No GOP congressman threatened CBS’s license over it)

“I hate the Republicans and everything that they stand for”
—Howard Dean, DNC chairman

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I’m not even going to mention the Gore-inch who tried to steal the election. And I’ll refrain from bringing up Ben “Cliff” Barnes’ attempt to smear George W. Bush’s National Guard service with the cooperation of seeBS News. Or Hillary Clinton’s dimestore Marxist blather “It Takes a Village” (one of Larry Elder’s books compared a segment of her writing to some of Marx’s “Das Kapital”). And I don’t think I need to mention the anti-semitism prevalent at DailyKos and “Democratic” Underground. Nor the ramblings of insane Jew-hater and race-baiter Cynthia McKinney.

And I won’t say that John Kerry’s position on gay marriage was the same as George W. Bush’s.

There’s nothing “Democratic” about the modern Democrats. The Republicans may not be doing much to earn re-election, but the alternative is far, far worse.

I apologize for comparing Democrats to Nazis. The real Nazis are the ones who pervert the name of Islam to kill innocent civilians. The Democrats are more like Neville Chamberlain, the deluded British PM who met with Hitler and declared “Peace in Our Time.” Look where that got them. We won’t have peace in our time with those who hide behind Islam to justify mass murder and totalitarianism. They won’t be reasoned with. And they oppose gay existence, never mind gay marriage.

We are Gay Republicans because we want to fight anti-gay policies from the right and from the left. In fighting (and winning) the war, we want another Churchill, not another Chamberlain. We don’t think our tax money should pay for social programs that cause more problems than they solve (the “Great Society” wasn’t so great after all). We don’t believe government can be all things to all people.

Anyone who claims Gay Republicans are “stabbing our gay brothers and sisters in the back” while justifying the stabbing of our Republican “brothers and sisters” in the back for running off the Democrat Plantation (with apologies to NDT) is a hypocrite. If Rogers and Avarosis want their 30 pieces of silver from the Religious Right, then I’ll be damned if I’m going to hold my tongue while they do exactly what “michael” accuses gay Republicans of doing.

And anyone who accuses one of “ignorance” while pleading for “civility” is another hypocrite.

When I came out of the closet, it was my own personal decision. No one had the right to make that decision for me, and no one has the right to make that decision for anyone else.

These are the things I support. These are some of the most pro-gay principles of all.

Democrats support:

—Group rights over individual rights
—Surrender to Islamist terrorists
—Racist government policies such as “Affirmative Action” which treats minorities as children who need the government’s help to get jobs
—Wealth redistribution
—Restraint of trade
—Censorship of political speech under such euphemisms “Campaign Finance Reform” and “Net Neutrality”

The Democrat Party is a hate group. No other group except the Communists, Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Mafia, has done as much harm to the USA.

There is no excuse for being a gay Republican save selfish personal economic gain.

But “michael” has stated point blank that he supports selling out gays who don’t kowtow to the “Democratic” Party line and has the nerve to compare them to Kapos in Nazi Germany and call the GOP the “political party of hate”. This is rank hypocrisy. He’s not pro-gay, just anti-Republican.

Please let us recall that there is a system in place to address many of the concerns you are addressing. It is commonly referred to as due process. You may also recall a document called “The Constitution”.

The biggest issue confronting the American public is the hatred instilled by each of the parties toward the other and its beliefs. The individuals involved in these matters may or may not have done anything wrong. Ultimately it is a matter for the judicial system to sort out.

Having a lively discourse on the subject is healthy and may lead to insights which may otherwise be overlooked. But referring to each other as Nazi’s not only undermines the potential benefits of discussion but is downright cruel. I will not go on to describe the horrors and incredible crimes committed in the name of the Third Reich, but your callous use of such terminology to refer to a fellow American who holds different views is precisely the kinds of behavior the characterized the Nazi regime. You are out of line.

It is unfortunate that many of our leaders have taken to the same tactics. It needs to be understood that Americans should not be governed by fear nor should those doing the governing threaten the American populus with outrageous suppositions and accusations against those with differing ideas.

I ask that each of you reading this step up to what is TRULY the higher moral ground and engage in discourse which advances mutual respect as well as the point you argue.

Sincerely,
Royal Oak, Michigan

A gay republican is as oxymoronic as a jewish nazi.

That would be much more convincing if we didn’t know you were out there calling these sort of things “pro-gay” and “gay-supportive”.

And as for cognitive dissonance, you might explain why you and other so-called pro-gay-marriage folks give tens of millions of dollars and endorsements to the aforementioned individuals.

Personally, given that opposition to gay marriage, supporting constitutional amendments stripping gays of rights, and pandering to the religious right usually qualify one as “antigay”, I wouldn’t think that you, HRC, and NGLTF would be such obedient servants and cash cows for these individuals.

But that would be making the mistake that gay leftists such as yourself are motivated by gay rights, not by helpless enslavement to the Democratic Party.

(nick on msn and yahoo messengers if anyone wants to blab)

After Senator Santorum made the statement likening homosexuality to incest, bigamy and polygamy (on the hallowed floor of the Senate no less) any self respecting gay staffer would and should have quit his employ in disgust; but no, not Robert Traynham.

Statement from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force calls upon Democrats, Republicans and straight allies to stand up for gay Americans

“The GOP has only one response when it’s in trouble –– ‘blame the gays.’”—
Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman

It’s really a shame that you and other gay conservatives insist on demonizing us gay lefties. The GOP and it’s family values acolytes are going to do whatever they can to demonize homos in general and the party fags in particular. And it will be organizations like NGLTF and HRC that are going to shout the strongest and the loudest (me included) to protect your sorry asses.

Thank you.
