You ever notice what a high percentage of the gay politicians are Republicans?
Miss. Mayor Reveals He is Gay
Miss. Mayor Reveals He is Gay
He probably had to hide his sexuality since he was an adolescent in Boston's conservative, Catholic city.
and look at Barack Obama and Donald Young
Do people online just say things to start arguments?
I give you that he is a Rep. but what does that have to do with your conclusion?
I believe the point of the report had to do with paying for personal items on the cities dollar and finally admitting he is gay.
Please substantiate your conclusion if you would or could.
So your stance is if you don't agree with every position of a given party then you should not associate with that party. That would be a tough thing to do.Given the fact that the Republican Party is officially anti-gay (see what is in its party platform and also what isn't in the party platform) and numerous GOP politicians are openly anti-gay (exhibit A: Rick Santorum, who seems to be obsessed with hating gay people and claiming that he doesn't hate anyone), the percentage of gay people who are Republicans should be about 0, and the percentage of Republicans who are gay should be about 0. Hey, gay Republicans, is it really worth it to be in a party that hates your life just so that you can be in a party that is supposedly strong on defense and against taxes? And, OK, my headline, "gays control the Republican Party," was an exaggeration; as I noted later, there merely seems to be a "high percentage" of gay Republicans, and my baseline was that I would expect close to zero. You want proof? How many names should I name (with former positions)?
Alabama Attorney General Troy King

J. Edgar Hoover
This list is just the low-hanging fruit of closet cases that resulted in scandals (memo: it is possible to be an out gay Republican and NOT cause a scandal; someone should try it sometime), although with Hoover it was more like a scandal-ette, and primarily after he was dead. There are a bunch of other gay Republican politicians, in fact, they seem to be emerging at a rate about one a month this year (and I left out almost all of this year's crop).
I also left out the dozens of Republican politicians who have admitted to, or been convicted of, being same-sex (or equal opportunity) pedophiles, because while a few of them might also be gay, odds are most are not gay, just pedophiles.
So your stance is if you don't agree with every position of a given party then you should not associate with that party. That would be a tough thing to do.
don't confuse the baggers, their life is difficult enough.Barack Obama is a gay Republican? That's a new one!
