Gay Republican Groups Accept Second Class Citizenship & Defend Newt
Two prominent gay Republican groups have defended Newt Gingrich's decision to turn away voters who support same-sex marriage.
After the video of the interaction surfaced, the Log Cabin Republicans issued a statement defending the candidate: Based on his stated opposition to same-sex marriage, Newt ultimately concedes that he is not likely to win this particular voter’s support. It is irresponsible and sensationalist to twist this exchange into a blanket rejection of gay votes.So...If gays are narrowly focused on having the same kinds of rights as straight people, gay Republicans agree that they should not vote for Newt. If they want to hate on Mexicans more than they want to see loved ones in he hospital, then Newt is your man.
It's a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings that a lucky sailor is chosen from the crew to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one. On Wednesday, for the first time ever, the happily reunited couple was gay.
