I PERSONALLY know gays who voted for:

1) Ronald Reagan TWICE
2) GW Bush, TWICE
3) Jesse Helms
4) Strom Thurmond
5) Rick Perry

Why does the media seem so surprised that gays actually have political beliefs that don’t match the typical stereotype.

31% of the 3% of voters who ID’d themselves
as gay at exit polls is not a really large number.

However, as a Conservative on almost every issue,
I don’t care if you’re gay and it doesn’t shock
me to know that gay people care about their country.

Hopefully Hillbuzz will be a great way for more gays
to know that we are not armed with sticks and
pitchforks against them, but would welcome anyone
who cares more about the country as a whole than
a single agenda.

Well of course more voted R now than they did in 2008.

Gays aren’t stupid. They have to eat and save for the future, just like the rest of us, and they know that our economic breakdown is ruining their future. Besides, you can’t take a fabulous vacation without lots of dough in the bank account!

Too many gays have come to believe that if someone is repulsed by their sexual behavior it means that those people hate them. They just haven’t thought it through logically.

I would hazard to guess that 99% of people are repulsed at the thought of their parents or grand parents having sex. That repulsion does not lead to hate.

That is a fascinatingly brilliant point.

"I love the boyz at Hillbuzz. It’s a good start, all Conservatives are welcome! "

I do too. I've learned a lot from their site and passed along more than a few links to my friends.

Not all gay persons think gay marriage is a good thing. Not all gays think gay pride parades are good. Not all gay people think teaching about homosexuality is public schools is a good thing. Not all gay people think they are born that way. Diverse group. You only hear from one side.

So they walked up to fruity looking people and asked them if they were queer?
