If the RNC is so anti-gay, why are so many of them of that preference?

They only hate them to get votes from the Christian Coalition.

Because they are hypocritical.  They supposedly believe in states rights except when it doesn't suit their conquest of the political structure of America.  They'll fly this subject around to solidify their base, the uneducated conservative, evangelical, redneck so they vote for them, then do nothing about it until they bring it up again in the 2008 election..   Their base is played for fools every two years on God, guns, and gays, and they still don't realize they're being played for fools.  The abortion issue is another one.  What have the Republicans done about any of these topics except bring them up every two years to rally the ignorant base?

I'm straight but I have alot of gay friends.  I like to answer questions in this category for three reasons:  1) the questions are usually more interesting than in alot of other categories, 2) to show my support and 3) I like to try to give helpful advice particularly to young gay people who are struggling.  I have a theory about these "heteros" who constantly bash, harass and make disparaging remarks about gay people.  To me the ones that scream the loudest in their opposition to homosexuality are either religious zealots or self-loathing, paranoid closet queens.  Most straight people, even ones uncomfortable with homosexuality, don't make such a big deal about it.

I'm not sure if it is gay people that you do not like or democrats???? Gay people are just people like you or me. Democrats currently have some pretty good ideas. I voted for quite a few this election. Not because of their party affiliation but based on each individuals agenda. Conservatives are generally against gay marriage, rights etc. That does not always mean that they are republicans. Peace.

Don't know, don't care. I vote for the best person, who most closely agrees with me and my views. If they happen to be a gay republican so be it. Yes, I vote manly for Repubs they are closer to my views then the Dems. I have and would vote for a Dems. If they could just tell me what they stand for instead of just tell me to vote against someone

First of all, I hope I'm open-minded enough not to give a rat's ass about a person's sexual preferences (provided it involves consenting adults) no matter what job they're seeking. So yeah, I could vote for a gay president if I agreed with most of his or her policies. What the hell do I care what they do in their private life? And why do YOU care?\n\nP.S. For the record, we've likely already had a gay president. James Buchanan, widely considered one of the worst and most ineffectual presidents in US history (some blame him for failing to prevent the Civil War), never married but rather lived for 16 years with an Alabama senator named William Rufus King. Seems harmless enough -- except for the fact that he referred to King as "Nancy" amid rampant rumours of their having had a homosexual relationship.

I don't think that's the reason.\nBecause most gays are Democrats.\nAnd most Democrat Politicians are NAMBLA people.

Yes.  They are TRAITORS to the gay cause and gay Americans.  No self-respecting gay person could ever work or vote for the Republican Party.

This isnt a bad question... ive wondered this too. The name is in reference to Abraham Lincolon who was the first republican president and supposedly born in a log cabin. Maybe "gay republicans" was too straight forward.

Conservatives don't have any more or less interest than anyone else. Religious nuts masquerading as Conservatives are uncomfortable with their own sexual insecurities/inadequacies and, rather than deal with them, try to bring everyone else down to their level so they can feel "normal."\n\nThe fact is that they are not "normal." A fixation or obsession with what's going on in somebody else's pants is a form of perversion in itself.\n\n.

Greed and lust are the prevailing factors.\n\nNeocons are the hypocrites, they love war...but they don't want to fight it themselves. The love America, but don't wanna pay taxes.\n\nAnd of course, a lot of neocons preachers, are gay. Rev. Haggard, a major neocon, told people not to be gay(because God doesn't like it). Of course, he is one. Hypocrite neocons.

I think there are plenty of legit conservative republicans out there, but I think many people get so worked up about issues like gay marriage and abortion they ignore everything else and vote republican cause they dont like boys kissing.\nElection time they roll out what works for them, hot button social issues that only get attention every 2 years to get their base riled up and out to vote.\n\nOh yeah, this is from rnc.com, their 2004 platform.  I guess they havent rolled out 2006 officially, but I expect it to be almost exactly the same.\nhttp://www.gop.com/media/2004platform.pdf

Statistically I don't know which party has more homosexual politicians. What I do know, is that the Republican party has more "in the closet" homosexuals.\nThe homosexuals in the Democratic party are proud of who they are and are not trying to hide anything.\nThe Republicans are generally anti-gay, even though some of them are gay.\nThe issue is not whether they are gay, it's whether or not they tell the truth. That has always been the issue, it's just one more set of stories that proves the overall Hypocrisy that has come to be the norm for that party.

I'd venture that they would vote for him in a 2nd term if they were to find out he was gay sometime during his initial term, simply as a strong political move that sent the message of "conservative humanism" to the American public.  A brave , new party, so to speak, kindler, gentler, less homophobic because "one of theirs" has somehow joined the other team.\n\nOn the other hand, if he ran for an initial term as a Gay Republican, I don't think he would get many votes from straight Republicans.  \n\nRepublican Senator Paul Koering never hid the fact that is gay, but had political problems because of his sexual preference.  The difference in his situation and George Bushe's Republican gayness is that Bush has a much larger constituency to convince that he's either an OK guy anyway or say nothing at all and let his voters believe that he's a sinful gay butt-rompin' devil.  If he were already in office, he'd make it a huge part of his re-election campaign and probably have little trouble getting over the hump (no pun intended) since Republicans are stuck so far up his ass anyway, he wouldn't have much convincing to do to sway them in favor of having room for another.

ugggg! i hate that! so many people have gotten into debates with me about this (they are all republicans.)\n\nthey say that they hate gay people because they hate all the gay lingo and the pda with other men. although they are not bothered by boy girl action.\n\nthey think that people choose to be gay; they DON'T!\n\nwhy would any one WANT to change into something that will make their life hard?  Why would you want to change into something that makes you love someone you can't marry or start a biological family with?\n\nplease, son't get me wrong, i am in no way trying to say that there is anything wrong with being gay....really....i am just saying that it is not a choice....people labeled "gay" are born that way.\n\nsome people however choose to think they are gay or bisexual....i think that it is just a personal preference....a luxury to be able to have sex with both genders.\n\ni like all your questions.\n\np.s. GOD DOES NOT FROWN UPON BEING GAY!!!!!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU REPUBLICAN CHRISTIANS/CATHOLICS SAY; GOD DOESN'T "FROWN UPON" ANY KIND OF PERSON UNLESS THEY HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG....BEING GAY IS NOT WRONG!!!\n\nsorry...that is a pet peeve of mine.

Near as I can figure, among the common folks that are royally being screwed by his administration's policies and still back him, it falls into two categories:\n\n1) People that associate him with the Republicans under Reagan and thought the Reagan era was "good times".  They haven't realized that neo-conservatives running the GOP are completely different animals than old school conservatives.\n\n2) Cut'n'paste Christians that bought the born-again Bush slogans, but haven't stopped for 3 seconds to reconcile the values of divisive hatred and war for profit with their "Christian values."  Instead, they focus on the "real" issues like abortion, sex toys, and gay marriage where Republicans are more than willing to throw a few bones to the idiot masses to get more votes.
