Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

"You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.

.............................

"I think gay Republicans are going to run away" if Palin supports efforts like the prayers to convert gays, said Wayne Besen, founder of the New York-based Truth Wins Out, a gay rights advocacy group. Besen called on Palin to publicly express her views now that she's a vice presidential nominee. "People are looking at Sarah Palin as someone who might feasibly be in the White House," he said.

7. Why?

Actually, why is anyone except old, white, (publicly) straight guys with a lot of money a Republican?

2. if gay republicans had any self-respect, they would not be gay republicans.

I wouldn't count on their suddenly evolving into vertebrates.

6. Bingo.

They are exactly equivalent to Jewish Nazis in my book.

3. The Magical Thinkers of the World UNITE to invoke the spirits

of the dead to convert the evil homosexual threat.

Why aren't these people locked up somewhere? They're clearly insane.

5. Reminds me of the old joke:

"My mother made me a homosexual."

"If I buy her the yarn, will she make me one too?"

[nevergiveup]

8. The only gay Republican

I know is only concerned about his portfolio and taxing the rich. He doesn't give a crap about gay rights or the gay community.

10. Yeah, my vet told me

about a gay couple in her neighborhood who are Republicans. They have money and are lucky enough to live in an area where they can be openly gay, so it's right back to "screw you, buddy, I've got mine."
