A "lesbian conservative"? There is no such thing, as much as the media would like us to believe.

Why do you have to be heterosexual before you can be called a conservative, and for that matter, why should a gay man or woman be automatically considered a knee-jerk leftist by default? I happen to be heterosexual, but that is not what defines me as a conservative. I'd say this woman is at the very least, a courageous free-thinker whose refusal to let others define her is worth applauding in of itself.

Good post. People who say gays (or atheists) can't be conservatives aren't thinking straight. So to speak. They give all conservatives a bad name.

The comment is particularly unhelpful to conservatives because lefties want gays to think that they must not only be liberals but fear and even hate conservatives. I agree with the poster who said he'd like to buy this brave woman a beer.
