I have met several gay Republicans. I never really asked, but how can they associate with a party that has as a primary campaign tactic a naked appeal to bigotry. [Evangelical gay basher pictured above-right with President Bush.]
Really, what is wrong with these people? There is nothing wrong with being gay, you idiots. There is something wrong with appealing to bigotry and supporting hate against gays; and it's weird doing while being gay.
Here's the link featuring the outed and now criminally outed Sen Larry Craig (R-ID) speaking of coded, gay-bashing family values. The video was removed by the Romney campaign but Talking Points Memo has a link.
Update: Via ThinkProgress:
In an editorial, The Idaho Statesman writes that “Sen. Craig owes Idahoans an explanation.” “This is a painful time made worse by the fact that Craig so far has been less than forthcoming. … [V]oters now deserve the full story from their senior senator.” The paper has a longer profile of Craig here.
