I'm with @BenHgbPA, in that I can respect GLBT's who are more conservative and believe the GOP offers what they feel is that direction. I can't necessarily say I understand it, but to each his/her own. Groups like Log Cabin Repubs were responsible for helping to get the Mormon Church behind non-discrimination protections in Salt Lake.
But I think every LGBT person needs to understand just how anti-gay the GOP is, and how sinking the candidacy of a gay man ranks higher on a priority list than any other GOP issue, simply because he is gay/ supports marriage equality. Protecting some mythical notion of “family” ranks higher than fiscal responsibility, etc.
There were several messages about this post on Twitter. Thanks@BenHgbPA for commenting:
Yes, there are gays in GOP & too many put GOP before civil rights for themselves & all #gay s (GOProud, Corbett Pride, etc) #p2
I can respect #gay GOPs who stand up for themselves – Bush made anti-gay a big '04 theme; Log Cabins refused to endorse him #p2
GOProud attacked only R in CA Sen race who supported full marriage equality. That's nuts. http://bit.ly/bZNMfC #p2 #gay #lgbt
