But these are the people trying to take away the right to be gay. You don't get to hide in the closet, have your secret gay hookups, and then turn around and say gay people don't deserve the right to marry and trans people don't deserve basic human decency and respect. No one is forcing them to be a Republican but themselves. Hell, you still be a Republican and be gay, the log cabin Republicans are a thing. But they alone are not the ones causing this spike in Grindr usage.
The idea that we should just let this kind of shit slide where it's only ok if you do it in secret is beyond idiotic. It's only bad if you are open about your homosexuality apparently.
Gay Republicans have a high degree of understanding of politics and a certain degree of sacrifice that is admirable and 110% American.
The left panders and patronizes to the gay community. If the homosexual community wants to have families and instill positive family values it is going to come from the right, not the left.
