Wow, I'm totally lost.
What would gay activists have to gain by this scandal?
Are you being intentionally obtuse? Anyway, the Gay activists who are trying to intimidate Gay Republicans could be charged with extortion. The guy was stupid enough to put his threats on the internet.
Republicans would loose the majority and the federal marriage amendment would be a dead issue.
Democrats would allow homosexuals in the military.
Democrats would dump the 1996 DMA.
Democrats would federally recognize homosexual marriages from abbroad.
