198. You could look at it another way....
After being exposed to exactly the kind of homophobia that he is promoting instead of being allowed the safety and security of hiding in the closet, it might force at least one person to re-examine his affiliation with a party that promotes intolerance.

The fact that he may or may not be replaced by another republican is pretty much a zero sum game. In some ways having a person who votes anti-gay to protect his own sexual identity is more of a threat to the gay community than a person who has less connection to the gay community and votes his conscience.
