Why are there so many more GAY GAY GAY Republican politicians than Democrats?

The same reason you ask strange questions.

Because Democrats believe in giving more power to the common people, and Republicans believe in giving more power to the Government and it's individual Authorities, regardless of it's policies that are not proliferating to the people that it serves.

They can't go with the real issues because they are lost in what to do about it. Reps can only hope to get their evangelicals motivated to vote for only one issue: gay marriage. It seems stupid to me to affiliate yourself to a party only because of a single issue. Dems talk about real issues and reps want trivial issues.

I'm pro but it's interesting to see that some gay are driven towards a "bourgeois" lifestyle when themselves say they are opposed to conventions.\nWHat we have in France with the PACS (the alliance between two people) is a good option because Pacs'ed people, whether they are gay or heterosexuals can share their lives, their taxes, have children and inherit the goods of the other person.

Gay people exist and many want to get married. The only thing stopping them are homophobics and politicians. And personally I don't think either homophobics or politicians have enough intelligence to make decisions on such things :)

I think it is because Gay people have their own preferences just like straight people do....just because someone is gay doesnt mean they have to jump the bandwagon and become a Dem....Im Dem and I wouldnt want them to join the Dem party just because Dems are in support of gay rights and Reps are not......maybe the other issues Reps bring to the table outweighs that one issue of gay rights.....however, I do see where you're coming from though......you'd think they would favor the party that makes things easier for them...go figure

I dont think he hates gay people. He is republican what do you expect. He isnt as opened minded as others. He is also a southern boy, some good southern raisin will teach you to not be open minded about stuff like that.

I'm afraid you're the one deluding yourself, dear. Sullivan may be a gay conservative (a perfectly rational identification), but he is not a member of any party. In fact, he endorsed John Kerry in 2004 because although he agreed with Bush on many issues, he thought he was not only conducting the war ineffectively, but he was nott conservative enough on domestic issues.\nOne's sexual preference does not have to correlate with a specific political ideology. Most gay conservatives are closer to libertarians than Republicans. They tend to believe in strong defense, states' rights, gun rights, free speech, low taxes, smaller government, and tough criminal enforcement, just like any other conservative. They tend to differ with other conservatives on the moral/social issues of marriage, family, obscenity, etc. Not all conservatives believe exactly the same thing, just like liberals, libertarians, and authoritarians differ on many issues.

This is quite possible. \n\nMore and more ppl are beginning to realize there are A LOT of gay Republican politicians that are well hidden in their closets.

Well, thanks for the references to Rush and Drudge and Fox. Now I realize that it's really a lie that people of color tend to support democrats more than republicans. \nSo, you must be mistaken in your assumption. There really are lots of people of color at the conventions (well, maybe not as delegates, but they're around). You certainly can't believe your eyes, and you can't believe the polls.\nSo thanks, Rush and Sean and partners for setting me straight. It's really the Democrats who are bigoted, racist, and homophobic. The Republicans don't care if you are black, hispanic, gay, lesbian, atheist, muslim, rich, or poor. They welcome everyone to their fold!\nAnd to think I used to believe that Republican policies were hazardous to gays, non-Christians, minorities, and the poor. They really do want gays to marry each other, non-Christians to have as many rights as Christians, taxes that favor the poor, etc.

Mike was a closet gay (that's true by the way) so I'm guessing Democrat.

The Catholic Bishops are not jumping on the gay bandwagon.  The guidelines state that the gay parishoners cannot make known their sexual orientation or practice any kind of gay relationship.  \n\nThis would have happened if the Republicans remained in control.  These things will happen again and again until future generations ask "Why did your generation have such a problem with gay relationships".

Because most Republicans are for less government involvement in your life and LOWER taxes.  Most, and not all, Democrats want to give everything to everyone and enjoy having a class of society dependent on them, such as welfare recipients.

I consider myself republican and I believe it is but a blatant lie to say that the republican party denies basic rights to gays. They just dont support liberal issues such as same-sex marriage because conservative republicans think that it is immoral and wrong. But that is politics - the interplay of power.

Phelps has more supporters in the Republican Party with his "God Hates Fags" drivel.\n\nOf course, I'm sure you already knew that.\n\nEDIT: Oh, I can read all right, and I know that Fred Phelps no more represents the Democratic Party than David Dukes did. OTOH, how do you justify the fact that Phelps' hateful rhetoric is shared by many of those in the Republican Party?

Why do Republicans push for discrimination at the national level? Republicans fought against rights for women and blacks. Now gays. Why do Republicans fear gays?

http://www.armchairsubversive.com/\n\nIt stems from a certain amount of sexual frustration and guilt coupled by secretly acting out.  "Liberal" people tend to be more honest with their sexuality, and therefore act out sexually in healthy ways.  \n\nConservatives on the other hand choose to repress their sexuality, which holds a certain amount of inherent dishonesty, and are far more prone to porno addiction, child incest, child molestation, serial rape, and psycho-sexual serial murder.  Even Ted Bundy was a very politically active Republican, working for several Florida campaigns.
