And for that reason I give them credit!... in fact, i have given them credit for a long long time... ever since the days - I remember clearly - they came out saying "we are queers, we are here.. etc" because they have fought and worked vey activaly for the past 30 years and look at the result: The Media, schools, universities, hollywood are pro-queer.... and that is a VICTORY as far as I am concerned, etc etc etc.
We, Republicans on the other hand are very vocal about "values," so I find it HYPOCRITICAL from our legislators when they don't uphold the values of the people who elect them. I know, that we in red states suppose to be stupid and un-sophisticated :)... and maybe we have been!
In any case it's good to have it out in the open... the best policy as far as I am concerned.
Sounds like you are painting with a broad brush. Not all homosexuals support the gay activist agenda, and some even believe that homosexual activity is sinful and endeavor to remain chaste or seek therapy to try to change. Love the sinner and hate the sin is the Christian way.

They're human and fallible, just as you are, ElPatriota. Just as I am, and everyone else is. We'll see what the end result of all this is, in due time. It could well mean that Republicans will think twice about running a candidate, or hiring a staffer, who is homosexual, or who could even be perceived as such. The ones who just cannot control themselves, such as Mark Foley, and the ones who are pushing the so-called "gay agenda" just as surely as any Democrat, to them I say "good riddance." There are, however, some who have contributed to the success of the party, quietly and behind the scenes, and have lived out their lives quietly and behind the scenes as well. I'm not so sure what the benefit of a blanket purge would be, if this sort of person is rooted out and shunned. I just don't know.
