Message to Gay Conservatives: Be Less Gay

[The Philosopher]

from The Advocate

The new head of the American Conservative Union, the primary sponsor of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, says it’s great to have a gay group at the conference as long as its focus is not on, well, gay issues.

Of the gay conservative group GOProud, which has had a presence at the last two CPACs, ACU chairman Al Cardenas (pictured) told Human Events magazine, “The problem is that GOProud didn’t help us any in being inclusive, because they used that platform to be quite aggressive . They started taunting some of our board members.”

He added, “The ideal GOProud participation would have been, ‘You know what, guys? This is an inclusive society. We’re as interested in these fiscal issues as you are. Fill your website with fiscal issues that you’re for and be a mainstream discusser of issues. We just happen to have a different lifestyle.’ And if they’d done that, they would have laid the groundwork for things that would have been pretty good.”

1. Why would ANY gay person be a Republican?

:shrug:

I still haven't figured out why WOMEN would vote Republican, but the GOP is even more hostile toward gays. If you aren't a white male American who at least pretends to be a Christian, there really isn't any room in the GOP tent for you.
