		<description>Daniel Squadron, the democrat that Mr.Chromczak is running against is a great fighter for LGBT people. 
Daniel Squadron believes in full equality for gay people and believes in protecting gay families. Openly gay NY State Senator Daniel J. O&#039;Donnell has endorsed Daniel Squadron. Daniel Squadron has a gay brother he is very close with.</description>

		<description>Nothing is more egregious than a Republican whining about how &quot;liberal progressives&quot; are so close minded towards them. Being a liberal Democrat certainly does not mean that I need to be faux tolerant toward a political party and ideology I find repugnant. People choose to be Republicans. I am not going to trip over myself to be polite or &quot;broad minded&quot; about their asinine choices or political opinions. 

On a second front, the New York State Senate Republicans have kept the anti-bullying bill bottled up for a decade and have never once let it come to a vote. So spare me the crap about making progress on it. If the Republican majority wanted it passed, it would presently be the law. That simple.</description>

		<description>Andrew Bird,

This guy does not face &quot;prejudice&quot; from other gays!  He&#039;s a frickin&#039; Republican!  He gets the same treatment that straight Republicans get!  Disdain for how they have screwed up the country and engaged in decades of despicable behavior.

Gay or straight, Republicans are part of a party that is based on hate, hypocrisy, and greed.  Republicans, gay or straight, largely, wrap themselves in the flag and spew hatred.

Paul mentioned some of the vile, hateful homocon conservatives, like North Dallas 30--a vicious racist, homophobe.  Why should gay people be any accepting of a gay republican who aligns himself with people like Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, etc?  Aren&#039;t homocons the ones who always talk about &quot;not voting&quot; their &quot;sexuality&quot;?

Look at the evil gay Republican trolls on this site.  Racist scum like Church-nazi, Men-sar, RCPV, etc.  They are all out in force to spew racist hate.  That&#039;s the face of gay Republicans.

Queerty  Editors,

As others have mentioned, you have allowed the comments section to be infiltrated by racists and Republican trolls.  There&#039;s a difference between intellectual discourse that can get harsh.

Instead, we have blatantly racist comments from posters like Churchill-y and others.  Why is this?</description>

		<description>I agree about the lack of consideration shown to other readers by some twits, who can&#039;t do more than childish pranks. Remove their posts if you can.

This Chromczak is just running the status quo right wing B.S about  saving money by spending less on things kie health care. The only veneer I see is the malarkey related to &quot;oh come listen to me. it&#039;s not what you think &quot; and it is! the same old stinky republican economic crap. 
I wouldn&#039;t vote for him in a hundred years unless he changes his politics to something humane.</description>

		<description>Yeah, Bob R is right.  Some douchebag AIPAC republican is obviously trolling hard here.

But...Chromczak is kinda cute.  I wouldn&#039;t vote for him, but I&#039;d make him squeal.</description>

		<description>Queerty, you have lost any and all control over your blog. It has been over run by right wing lunatics, and now there&#039;s posting in Arabic that goes on and on about what? There has to be some moderation of responses or the comments section is just going to implode.</description>

		<description>I hope that at least some people see the prejudice that John Chromczak faces being a gay republican, from both Republicans and also from a number of gays. I think it is unfair for us to automatically write him off as a illegitimate candidate when in fact he does wholeheartedly support marriage equality and other causes that would be beneficial to the gay community. Is it not unjust for African Americans to automatically write off a black candidate because he is a republican (i.e. what happened to Clarence Thomas in the early 90&#039;s)? Why doesn&#039;t the same logic apply here?</description>

		<description>Boo hoo! Do I need to remind Mr. Chromczak of all the nasty things Republicans do to gays? How can he just conveniently sideline all of that?

I hope and would pray (were I a believer) that greedy &quot;gay Republicans&quot; get everything they deserve (and this includes a colossal loss for this politician in his upcoming election). I know that sounds petty, but Republicans have proven again and again how much they utterly and completely hate gay people and it&#039;s gone beyond the stage now where it&#039;s acceptable or even reasonable to support gay rights AND the Republican party simultaneously.</description>

		<description>OK, I won&#039;t judge him because he is a republican. I&#039;ll judge him by the fact that he supports a party that, quite frankly, would rather see all of us dead. The republican stand for one thing--getting as much money into their own hands at the expense of everyone who is not inside the straight, male, white, christian, anglo &quot;normative center&quot;.
This guy is just a testament, like his Log Cabin brothers, that greed extends across all lines of sexual orientation.</description>

		<description>Rebuild the world trade center? Gods! I guess all the world loves a phallic symbol...
  I wonder if John realizes that many republicans have earned the dislike bestowed upon them? That guilt by association is a powerful thing, not easy to shake off?
  And does he really want to shake it off?</description>

		<description>BTW--Andrew, I don&#039;t usually nit-pick your spelling, but in the States, it&#039;s &quot;boogie man&quot;, not &quot;bogey man&quot;, which is the UK version of the legend.  Unless Mr. Chromczak is telling us he is not Humphrey Bogart.  This is an important interview, let&#039;s keep it tight.</description>

		<description>&quot;I don&#039;t understand why, if you&#039;re a liberal progressive, you don&#039;t want to have an open mind and sit down and have a legitimate conversation about a variety of issues without automatically balking because I&#039;m a Republican. It made me very angry.&quot;

If Mr. Chromczak would like to see what trying to have an open minded conversation with a homocon is really like, I&#039;d suggest he head over to the Gay Patriot blog and read some of Bruce&#039;s postings and more importantly, the comments left by his gay conservative readers.  &quot;Very angry&quot; best describes most right wing gays.  

Better yet, read North Dallas Thirty&#039;s blog; or American Elephant&#039;s blog; or any of the other homocon blogs--including the now defunct homocon.com--and get a taste of what trying to debate a homocon brings one--emotional futility.

I apprecite Mr. Chromczak&#039;s thin veneer of open mindedness.  However the true personality of the homocon belies his calls for open mindedness--on the parts of others.  When Mr. Chromczak asks his fellow homocons to stop molly-coddling anti-gay leaders in their chosen party, his opinion and that of others sharing his opinion will matter to the other 80% of LGBTQ Americans.

As far as praising Dubai, Mr. Chromczak, please take a vaction there and while there, try walking along the beach while holding your partner&#039;s hand.  Then return, if they let you, to America and tell us how brillaint Dubai is</description>
