Gay Republicans - is it possible?

Same reason people are always shocked to find out I'm a gay Christian. There's this belief that if you embrace some views of a group, clearly you embrace them all. And you know, all people of one group are the same. And since some Republicans are anti-gay rights, obviously all Republicans hate gays.

I have a ton of gay friends and a few that are Log Cabin Republicans. I absolutely do not understand how any self respecting gay person can be a republican. The RNC gave back money the Log Cabin Republicans raised for the party, they don't accept you and yet you still try to be accepted. By all means everyone has a right to vote the way they want, but if my political party didn't respect me as a human being I would have a hard time rectifying to myself wanting to be accepted by them. To each their own!

You know, the more you tell yourself something is OK the more you belief it. Its like lying. You tell yourself it wasn't technically a lie so you are convinced you didn't lie. Forget the Bible for a moment, being homosexual is just not biologically natural. Men and women are physically made to go together. And if you are "gay" ( when did that quit meaning happy? ), why do you have to tell everyone? Why do you need another ste of laws and rules? You are already a man or woman, aren't you? ( now getting off my high horse. )

Gay people can be anything. Being gay doesn't guarantee that one is smart, and that one has their own best interests at heart.

Being gay and being republican are mutually exclusive. The same as being a democrat and being gay. The same as being a christian and being gay. The same as being a rebuplican and being a christian. They are only labels and do not describe reality. The more you label anything, the farther you move from knowing its true nature. Labels and divisions only create seperation and stereotyping. Who the heck cares what is republican or who is gay.

I figure that you can believe anything you want, you dont have to agree with every aspect of the republican belief.

i am unable to get what you want to convey

i dont find any big issue in this...its totally upto a person..

lol i dont really have much to say on the topic but i found the responses to be quite funny especially the black jewish gay republican lol lol but yea everyone should be more accepting of alternative life styles

Anything is possible. Try this: Jewish black gay republicans! I think it's basically because the American Republican Party doesn't really support policies that benefit these groups of people. And when people think "republican" they think of white southern people who are prejudiced. I'm not saying this is necessarilly true, just saying it's THERE. This isn't just an american thing by the by, right-wing parties tend to be composed of people like that. A funny thing we have over here, one of the right-wing parties was at one point led by a man who everyone acknowledges as being gay. Of course, nobody speaks out about these things. Even if people know some public figure is gay, it is never really mentioned in the media. It is the fact that dare not speak it's name... in public :P

Long ago, way before the Bush era, the republican platform used to stand for minimal goverment interferance. They were against social reform programs and welfare and thought the government should build roads and defend the borders and leave people alone. If that were still true, I can certainly see why people would be republicans.

My uncle is a gay republican. He says he is more in line with the republican platform. Obviously he doesn't like some of the planks. But big military, small goverment, less spending, lower taxes all are of interest to him. Not to mention, he is a wealthy man, making six figures, so he tends to vote with his wallet.

Ofcourse it's possible...it's not illegal o gay is it..republicans are just people an they also have the right to be gay..as for the Christian fundamentalists (like that guy Ted Haggart or whatever his name was)that is I think just wrong...
