Does Not Compute: Is GOProud’s Jimmy LaSalvia A Gay Robot?

We teased GOProud director and founder Jimmy LaSalvia for being “delusional” about the rising tide of pro-gay conservatives in this country.

Earlier this week on MSNBC, LaSalvia (right) told Thomas Roberts:

I don’t think conservatives are any different than anyone else in America. In 2012 every person has a gay person in their life—friends and family… We all have come to think about these issues in a very personal way, and so everyone in America is having this discussion and thinking about these things in a personal way. And many people, including many conservatives, are coming to the conclusion that supporting same-sex civil marriage is the right thing to do.

But when we read his response to country singer Carrie Underwood’s support for marriage equality, we started to wonder if maybe he was just a gay robot with one sound bite in its memory.

“You know, Carrie Underwood isn’t any different from anyone else in America. The more Americans think about how issues affect their gay friends and family the more they come to realize that supporting same-sex civil marriage is the right thing to do. More and more people are coming to that conclusion—and that includes conservative Christians.”

Wow, eerie. Should we discover life on Mars, and it’s gay-friendly, we imagine LaSalvia’s response would be something like this:

“You know, martians aren’t any different from anyone else in the Milky Way. We are all thinking about this things in a personal way. The more alien think about how issues affect their gay friends and clones, the more they come to realize that supporting same-sex civil marriage is the right thing to do. More and more life forms are coming to that conclusion—and that includes martians.”

In case you weren’t sure what a gay robot would sound like:
