I disagree with your premise that if one is homosexual that automatically he cannot be conservative. I know several who are both.
Babeu has done great work in his sheriff role, and I do not believe the allegations made against him in a liberal rag.
They do the same to black conservatives, or do you think that, too, is an oxymoron?

Strange, I never once saw Reagan publicly list his penis size. Nor any other actual ‘in word and deed’ conservative.
You have resorted to the liberal talking point of comparing homosexuality to black Americans. Black people cannot stop being black, nor are they remotely relevant to this discussion... unless they are gay. But that’s not why you brought it up.
Perhaps you should reconsider what being a conservative actually means. It does not mean ‘Gay is OK’ just because one has homosexual associates. Being homosexual is at direct odds with the core conservative concept of ‘man and woman’, AKA Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
GOProud tried the ‘We’re conservative too” crap. They nearly destroyed CPAC. But rather than “accepting my premise”, which is rock solid, you should work on accepting reality. As Lincoln put it “Calling a tail a leg does not make it one.” Nor does calling a Homosexual a Conservative.
My God man, this is Free Republic, not DU.
“Conservative” includes “conservative” values that by definition exclude promotion of homosexuality. Babeau wasn’t a discreet homosexual, that’s obvious.
