How come Republicans hide being gay?

[HOT_WASABI_JUNKIE]

I think the difference between the gay republican's and the gay democrats are the gay democrats don't tend to hide it so much(i.e Barney Frank). I have more respect for a politician who says" I am gay, deal with it" than for a politician who gets married to a woman, has kids, just to look straight, when he is really lusting after some teenage boy's ***. I guess my bias is showing through, I think the Republican party and christians have sunk this country to a new low.Let us not forget that during the whole Monica Lewinski thing,Senator Craig was one of the politicians who wanted Clinton's head on a stick for his affair. Not to mention, Newt Gingrich,who was having an affair as he was impeaching Clinton for damn near the same thing.

How many of you have jobs where you occasionally just have to suck it up and do something you dislike? I think all the closet gays in the republican party are doing the same thing. Being gay doesn't define your entire life nor do gay-issues define a politician's entire job.

When we are stuck with a two party system, unless you are a brainwashed "my party, right or wrong" type, nobody will be in complete agreement with either party platform. So these guys end up having to toe the party line on all the gay politics but probably actually believe in a lot of the rest of the party platform.

Unlike most of our jobs, a politician's job is 24x7. So they can either stay in the closet and keep their job, or come out and lose it and lose the chance they have to make a difference with respect to all of the other issues that they do believe in.

Yup...


Gays (and all other living human beings) should have had equal rights by now. We should be past all of the discriminitory BS since the civil rights movement (if not before that). Although I don't fall under the 2 party system, I do hope that we end up with a Democratic president this next time around (or a more liberal/scientific party) and hope that we get our @$$ out of other people's business. This religious and "thirsty for oil" war has got to end....instead of making friends in the world it seems as if we are straggling to make a few "allies" instead...
