In his political movie "W", director-producer Oliver Stone assigned a line to actor Richard Dreyfuss (playing Rove) that basically said Rove is a closeted homosexual.
There are about three or four levels of deceit and concealment in such a claim, but it happens to describe Rove's politics since about 1996 ... since 43 was governor of Texas and throughout his term of office, Dubya was overwhelmingly kind and solicitous toward homosexuals and the homolobby. The only issue he broke with them on, was the DOMA dispute, when the Manor Bush walked away from them. In 2004, moreover, Rove used down-ballot "defense of marriage" referenda to turn out conservative voters to defeat the abominable Kerry.
The rest of the time, it's been wine and roses. This needs an explanation, since homosexuals are one of the core constituencies of the Democrat Party since the 1980's.

Queers are heavily represented in areas of American life that make them much more powerful than their small numbers would indicate. Besides ‘entertainment’ where they have been able to be out of the closet for a long time, other areas of heavy queer infiltration by at least semi-closeted homos are youth athletics, female sports, and most powerfully but least recognized, politics. One reason DC is such a sewer is the heavy presence of covert queers. The political culture is sort of like interior decorating as a career without having any talent. Lots of smoozing, lots of parties, and lots of posturing. All things gay types love to do. Rove looks like a good possibility as part of the hidden homintern. Another character worth looking at is Mr. Schmitz. There was a lot more than just a so-called pro’s disdain for an amateur in his over the top vitriol and undisguised hatred of Sarah Palin. For a queer that can't jump out of the closet just yet nothing is more hate inducing than a woman with strong evangelical values. I saw this years ago with the almost incoherent hatred of Anita Bryant that a sad sack USAF officer in our section articulated when Ms. Bryant was a leading light of the anti-queer cultural influence campaign. A few months later after this fellow botched a suicide attempt his ‘sexual preferences’ became known. Whenever i see one of this polished beltway pimps mincing about trash talking the GOP base I remember that dreary fellow and his vile rageful comments on Ms. Bryant.
