The premise of the Left and Democrats is that the GOP is "anti-gay," and therefore presents a conflict for a person who's gay AND Republican ... that's the wrong premise.

Most Republicans oppose the "gay agenda;" most don't like the behavior. But I would assume most Republicans are not uncomfortable with friends/family/associates who are gay so long as they don't shove their sexual preferences, activities, etc. in their faces. I don't want to hear what anyone does in his/her bedroom. period.

Nor would an active Republican who is gay necessarily have the "gay agenda" at the top of his/her list of priorities. as seems to be the assumption of the Left. Maybe, just maybe, gay Republcans care more about national security, taxes, and the economy over and above their own sexual preference.

I just can't see being gay and being Republican as mutually exclusive.

IMO you are correct! The problem with this witch hunt on the left is again, if the left feels you are not marching in lockstep(something the left accuses us of daily) with their views you deserve to be burned at the stake. Of course you can be Republican AND be gay! I know a lot of gay people who DON'T believe in gay marriage! It's what Tammy Bruce describes in her book as ''group think''. You will be ostracized and reviled if you don't ''go along'' with! It's really sick.It's the same simple mindedness we often see in the African American community when they say Condi Rice is a traitor cause she is a Republican. Huh?! I guess in their minds if your black you HAVE to vote RAT! Thats the lib mentality folks!
