I beg to differ with you also on “it was a conservative homosexual group that believes along the same lines as the rest of the conservatives.”
Legislative Priorities
GOProuds Conservative Agenda
The so-called gay agenda is defined by the left through a narrow prism of legislative goals. While hate crimes and employment protections may be worthy goals, there are many other important priorities that receive little attention from the gay community. GOProuds agenda emphasizes conservative and libertarian principles that will improve the daily lives of all Americans, but especially gay and lesbian Americans.
1 - TAX REFORM - Death tax repeal; domestic partner tax equity, and other changes to the tax code that will provide equity for gays and lesbians; cut in the capital gains and corporate tax rates to jump start our economy and create jobs; a fairer, flatter and substantially simpler tax code.
2 - HEALTHCARE REFORM - Free market healthcare reform. Legislation that will allow for the purchase of insurance across state lines - expanding access to domestic partner benefits; emphasizing individual ownership of healthcare insurance - such a shift would prevent discriminatory practices by an employer or the government.
3 - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM - Bringing basic fairness to the Social Security system through the creation of inheritable personal savings accounts.
4 - DONT ASK, DONT TELL REPEAL - Repeal of the militarys Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy.
5 - HOLDING THE LINE ON SPENDING - Standing up for all tax payers against wasteful and unneccessary spending to protect future generations from the mounting federal debt.
6 - FIGHTING GLOBAL EXTREMISTS - Standing strong against radical regimes who seek to criminalize gays and lesbians.
7 - DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION - Opposing any anti-gay federal marriage amendment.
8 - ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP - Package of free market reforms to encourage and support small businesses and entrepreneurship in the gay community.
9 - REVITALIZING OUR COMMUNITIES - A package of urban related reforms; expanding historic tax preservation credits; support for school choice.
10 - DEFENDING OUR COMMUNITY - Protecting 2nd amendment rights.

Please DakotaRed, I’m not disagreeing with you in any way other that Democracy. If they take over, then that is what it is - a vote by more people for than against.
You seem to think that Democracy is a bad thing and we should find another way. That is called Fascist by any other name.
I’m only saying that if that if that happens, we are all doomed anyway.
Please, let Democracy play out...if it doesn’t work, then you can think about other alternatives...
7 - DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION - Opposing any anti-gay federal marriage amendment.
wow almost everything in that agenda is gay-centric
