Gay Republicans party at “Homocon,” a bash thrown by pro-gay rights conservative group GOProud at the Republican National Convention was the best kept secret in Ameria. Its great to see that the Republicans aren’t really as homophobic as the press would have us believe. These folks look like they are having a great time. Former Rep. Mark Foley attended. Grover Norquist dropped by also to give his pitch. I think Grover is straight.
I don’t think that the Family Research Council dropped by.
As stated above, Goproud.org was the sponsor of the party. They have been a deal breaker for some of the values groups at some of the conservative conventions. I personally don’t see why a gay person would want to be a Republican. But many do. The Log Cabin Republicans have been around a long time. I have a gay friend who is about as Republican as you can get. It just makes no sense to me at all. I continually ask him why he contributes to his own oppression. He just laughs and sends more offensive Obama email.
Why would anyone gay, lesbian or transgendered want to be a Republican? So many in the GOP seem to eschew everything gay.
