Ok
I gotta ask
Can anyone out there tell me
what sense it makes to be a gay Republican?
Cause I'm stumped.
Isn't that a bit like being an African American member of the KKK?

Recently I had a perplexing conversation with a new friend
who is an extremely upwardly mobile, educated
gay boy extraordinare
so natch i thought we'd bond about politics
both being smart
savy
and queer
although i wear leather
and he wears LLBEAN
and that maybe shoulda tipped me off a tad
anyway
he came out as very PRO Bush
and no not the good kind
so i said "he wants to amend the constitution to deny you the right to marry your boyfriend"
and he said "Yeah but that can't happen"
and I said "He wants to make abortion illegal"
and he said "Yeah but that can't happen"

and i said
so you will vote for him because the bad things
he wants, can't happen, no matter how hard he trys??

I've heard this before from gay republicans
they will support bush
because the truly anti gay
anti freedom
issues he is fighting to land
most likely won't come thru
but instead
as both of the gay republicans i know
are rather in the moolah
he is good for the yuppie way
good for the over 200k crowd

and so on

i don't know
money's great
and im all for it
but not when it comes to
turning my back on principles and freedom
and human rights
and dignity

but then
thats just me
