Anyone unfortunate enough to identify as “gay” and is also conseravtive would keep his/her sexual identity problems and life to himself.
By advertising and focusing on sexual problems/orientation/practices (of an unnatural kind, even) is sick.
They should just be regular conservatives, pure and simple. They’re focusing on the “gay” stuff, and adding “conservative” as an afterthought. They are just trying to ride on the coattails of the GOP to further their “gay” cause - they just didn’t like how the LCR were doing it.
Why?
I don't doubt that most gay conservatives would simply participate in and support mainstream conservative orgs, support conservative parties, vote for conservative candidates, etc, without making a point of relating their political and sexual orientations.
But why should we expect, or even hope, that "anyone" (i.e. all) would take that approach?
Consider that nearly all homosexual groups are implicitly or explicitly liberal, and often as not far left, and often politically partisan. Consider that there is therefore strong social pressure on gays to adopt a leftist ideology, or at least shut up about it if they don't. Wouldn't it then be exceptionally odd if at least some politically conservative homosexuals did not openly challenge that template? (Just as, for instance, black conservatives do in a very similar context.) Of course making such a challenge requires them to associate their sexual orientation and their and politics.
We certainly applaud African Americans who explicitly and pointedly challenge the idea that leftism is normative for blacks. Why all the hate and vitriol when gays do the same?
