Yesterday on Tax Day, free Americans from all over the land tailgated their way through a First Amendment exercise. Like in Ft. Lauderdale, where Tea Partiers gathered outside the federal courthouse. Even the gays were there! With punny jokes!
The Sunshine Republicans, a regional gay group that has this poster featured on its website, were on hand to encourage safe sex and safe politics.
The Sunshine Republicans distributed condoms in bright red wrappers that said “love.” The condoms were attached to cards advising people to “Use Condom Sense Vote Republican!!” Hundreds were given away, said the group’s president, Benjamin Lewis.
Sunshine’s next event is on April 24, where they’re hosting something called “Wine & Dine With Your K-9.” A chance to booze with your pooch? We’re only going if they’re handing out decent bottles of cab sav that read “Democrats Need to Quit Wine-ing!”

Any gay person who votes Republican is very demented. Period.

That poster looks like it belongs in 1935 Germany

That hilarious coming from the same party that’s spent the last 40 years working to ban many mention of condoms in our schools.

Gay Republican? Isn’t that an oxymoron? It is not possible to be gay and Republican. Hate to break it to you. Talk about attention whores.

Everyone should have an opportunity to be apart of any organization, as long as they spread the word of PEACELUVNBWILD!

That poster is pure projection. Conservatives are the biggest whiny victims in politics. Even when they entirely controlled government in 2001-2007, they played the whiny victim card, claiming oppressed by liberals, gays, the ACLU, secularists, affirmative actions, etc.

Deflecting charges of racism with a big-lipped Sambo caricature? They should win a prize!

Is anyone thanking the Sunshine Republicans for helping the Tea Partiers from breeding. Thanks Sunshine Republicans!!!

41% od teapartiers are democrats/independent

@hephaestion: Yet the Defense of Marriage Act was passed with a great deal of Democratic support and signed by a Democratic president, while the current president talks big but doesn’t really do anything. Get real: neither party cares about gay issues and with that attitude, they never will. All you’re doing when you say stuff like that is telling Democrats that they don’t actually have to deliver anything to count on your vote, while telling Republicans that courting you is a waste of their time and money.

Haha our next update: Jews at neo-nazi rallies handing out beers!

Once the SunTea-baggers guzzle the boxes of wine with their dinner, if I were those dogs, I’d be very, very nervous.
Living in Ft. Lauderdale, I would love to infiltrate that April event, except that I’ve only got three cats. If a local Q dog owner could do this, what a fun report in the making.

@ousslander: To think, even for a moment, that the remaining 41% of those cave-dwellers do not stay thisclose to the Republican ballot box would be very “od,” indeed.

@ousslander: Did you get that percentage from Faux news? That’s a pretty high figure and I don’t know of any rational Dem/independent being a part of that circus. I guess CONServatives love to inflate figures as if they’re in the majority.
The only ones whinning these days are those on the right since November 2008.

A gay is white privileged and in deep denial before he is gay, in my experience. Racism goes to the front of the line with these twits.

@adman: Oops, I meant a gay Republican, my bad.

It’s just frustrating to see behavior like this. These people are doing nothing for us, or for them.
Nick
Why would anyone trust a condom given to them at a right-wing political rally to do its job?
mike
sure, lets listen to ABC< NBC< CBS< MSNBC<CNN who like to tell you over and over and over again (many times over) that the democrats support the gays and the republicans don't/ see if you hear it over and over and over again you start to believe it… good for the sunshine republicans! there are gay REPUBLICANS! and you know what, i would rather have them on my side then the whiny Demos who have been in power since 2006 and still did Fking nothing for you guys! Calif lost proposition 8 because the majority that voted for obama opposed Gay marriage. you gays need to get a clue and wake up, you have been had, used and manipulated by the alphabet channels into believing that the dems are on your side. you all are pathetic if yo think the Democrats are on your side, look no further than Calif, the liberal state failed you!
mike
and once again, this tea party protest was not about gays or having a black man as president (yes we have been told over and over and over by the alphabet channel that it is). it;s about what happening my hard earned money and all the spending that’s happening. the democrats have been on a spending spree, 100 times worse than Bush and the media all ” oh my God, all this debt, this spending, jobless claims rising, foreclosure rising is so awesome!!”. that concerns people they see the BS that’s going on and they are concerned. it has nothing to do with Gay or having a black president. go bag a sunshine, he/she’ll show you the errors of your way..

@Mike Here, here!
Why wouldn’t there be some gay Tea Party members? Who wouldn’t want to pressure our government to stop being so irresponsible with our tax dollars? What has the Tea Party movement ever said about gays ever? Your ignorance from only watching MSNBC is evident, sad and worrisome.
I still don’t get all the Faux News jabs. And Bill O’Reilly hates gays BS. You wouldn’t be caught dead watching the Fox News channel because of what you think your dumb ass MSNBC watching pals will think about you. So you have no idea of what you’re criticizing. Which is really STUPID, as is extremely obvious based on your idiot comments.
It scares the shit out of me that people like you are allowed to vote. What have the Democrats, Barney Frank, Barack Obama or any of your saviors ever done for us? Not a damn thing. They never do and I learned that a long ass time ago. I hope you guys figure it out soon too before you keep fucking up elections with your imbecility.
Bitches.

#20, 21–Wingnut queers, this is kind of fascinating in a morbid way. Get some basic facts right before posting please, Queerty doesn’t need your self hating today. Teabaggers are racist, misinformed by fox news, and funded completely by the corps. they say they despise being bailed out. How’s that for a bunch of tools? Frank, Obama and the Dems got us hospital visitation that we’ve been trying to push through against repuke opposition for FORTY YEARS. That was just today, while you were posting your propoganda pieces here. You’re clearly mental hostages if you think Obama has outspent Bush, and therefore I’m inclined to believe you’ll believe anything.
I ‘ve met a deuche like you a time or two, and he was just as brainwashed as you are. Sad, and facist, is this any way to go through life? I want to hear your apologies for the actions of the American Talibangelicals next. What say you, boys?
John
I feel that Sunshine Republicans were handing out the condoms to make it clear that every one of you that have posted parents should have used a condom.
I have not seen such hatred. What is diversity?? It is accepting the person for who they are…NOT what you want them to be.
Quit being so judgmental. LIVE AND LET LIVE!!
Congrats to the Sunshine Repub’s. I am a democrat, but I am pleased to see that you are standing up for what you believe in.
John
