The conservatives I know have no problem with tolerance of gays.
Its the in your face demand for acceptance and, indeed, promotion of their lifestyles they are sick of. That’s where the GOP and Dems part company. The GOP has steadfastly opposed gay marriage and indoctrination of LGBT in schools, etc. From what I’ve seen, most Dems set homos as the ideal.
Republicans are the clearly better choice when it comes to the question of homosexuality in our society. I would prefer it went completely back in the closet, but that doesn’t look like it will happen.
We simply cannot afford to have those guys around. Take their money. Accept their votes, but they have to stay out of party matters and public office. Else we cannot win elections, which is all these campaigns are about.
