But you left the smilies intact!!

Seriously, it seems to me that there should be more gay Republicans, considering that many GOP voters are economic conservatives and social libertarians.

Exactly. Fucking everyone except yourself is a fundamental Republican value.

Gingrich-Karger '12!

The problem with being a gay Republican is that s/he will come across in MSM in the same fashion as a Black Republican or a female Republican: automatically stereotyped as a nutjob wacko.

There may or may not be any truth to that in the individual case, but that's how MSM will paint it.

Wouldn't you have to be somewhat of a nutjob wacko to be gay, black, or female and Republican?

(Andrew Sullivan, Olympia Snowe, and Barak Obama being the exception not the rule)
