Life can be so tough for gay Republicans.
Nobody seems to understand that maintaining and widening income inequality and telling women what they can and can’t do to their own bodies are issues so much more pressing than those silly liberal agenda items.
Like, gay rights for instance.
Below, guys vent their frustrations on Whisper for not being understood as the rational gay conservatives that they are.
How about we take this to the next level?

Most of them make a big fuss about being religious. This seems even weirder to me than most of our resident Queerty righties who seem to be more secular, libertarian wackos. (Or at least, if they’re religious they don’t mention it here.) If these Whisper guys are THAT Christian, they must be very conflicted about being gay, and very psychologically screwed up.
Alexander R. Rodriguez
Guess Queerty is going through another gay conservative envy phase. Oh that’s right cause it was gay conservatives like US that got DAFT repealed and convinced SCOTUS on same sex marriage.

By the way, I could say I’m Republican because I was born that way. My parents were Republican and Catholic. I grew up in the 1950’s. But my parents raised us kids to think and act for ourselves. They did not freak out when I came out. I am lucky to have had them. I almost always vote Democratic.

To the very first graphic… you’d rather vote for a candidate that knows “war strategy, fiscal policy and geopolitics”? Really? If that is the case, why on earth would you ever vote for a republican? Republicans have been catastrophic failures in every regard. I didn’t realize Whisper is not only a hang-out for perpetual whiners, but also self hating gay republicans too.
You have to be delusional to vote for the republican party under any sense. Their platform is a disaster for just about everyone except the super wealthy. I just don’t quite grasp how a gay people could ever be a conservative and/or republican. That’s a terrible existence.
@Alexander R. Rodriguez: No they didn’t. Gay conservatives didn’t do anything of the sort. And convinced SCOTUS on same sex marriage? What have you been smoking? You couldn’t be anymore wrong.
@Raphael: Of course. It’s called Stockholm syndrome.

I don’t understand gay republicans. I know a couple, and I can’t help but wonder if maybe they did too many drugs or something.

The sad part is these guys have to be closeted as Republicans because the supposedly kinder, softer option of Democrats will judge and bully them if they don’t agree with their views as gay Dems. And the gaydrns don’t see that judgemwnt or bullying in themselves which is why I don’t discuss politics, religion or sex in polite company. Most of the gay dems really only spew rhetoric and propoganda that they have heard…
For the record, Im a Libertarian…get up off your ass and do what you need to do to make yourself happy…don’t “expect” the gov’t or your neighbor to do it for you and be grateful when/if they do lend a hand.
Giancarlo85
@John: Um what? Judge and bully them? Don’t you suppose other republicans are bullying them? The republican party won’t even let the Log Cabin group into any of their conventions. Do you not pay any attention to anything?
Rhetoric and propaganda? Sounds like something conservatives and libertarians do… all the time.
“For the record, Im a Libertarian…get up off your ass and do what you need to do to make yourself happy…”
Oh how nice… more of that bootstraps garbage. Or “get up off your ass”. Most gay liberals I know work jobs. We value our jobs. Republicans and libertarians would drive us to unemployment. That is a fact.
Giancarlo85
Why are gay conservatives/libertarians so judgmental? Why do they think gay liberals don’t work? We work hard, pay our taxes and do everything on our own. You have to wonder… if you accuse others of free loading you’ll get a defensive response. You know why we don’t accept you? Because you spread the same hatred as your political party!

Boo hoo poor persecuted rethuglicans. Reap what sow.

Lets add the details to what they are saying.
They are gay and republican – So they are voluntarily a member of a party that not only hates them, but has, as it’s party plank the stripping away of their rights.
They are conservative Christian, so they are members of churches that hate them and feel that they are evil.
They are married, Christian, and gay. So they are liars, who knowingly have tricked a woman into marrying them, even though they know that they aren’t interested in her.
Yeah, great guys.

First of all, being a christian is a mental illness and a lifestyle choice. To be gay and Republican is like the Jewish Police officers in the Krakow Ghetto, as close as you can get to being a Jewish Nazi. As for being gay and in a heterosexual marriage, you are the poster child for hypocrisy and the only solution for you is suicide. You are never going to change the Republican party so why are you even trying. It is possible to be a fiscally conservative Democrat and if you don’t believe that, vote Libertarian.
Cagnazzo82
Since when have republican presidents known anything about war politics, fiscal policy, or geopolitics?
Pretty sure the last republican president failed abysmally on all fronts, on a catastrophic scale.
And when you go back the last 40 years each and every republican presidency results in a recession.
Even their absurd take on social issues aside, what universe do these people inhabit where Republicans have ever been right in terms of fiscal policies? My entire life republicans have been synonymous with disaster.
Giancarlo85
@Cagnazzo82: This is exactly what I don’t get about gay people who vote republican and cite that reason.
Republicans are the reason we struggle to find good paying work.

“I’m gay, but don’t support gay marriage . . .”
That about says it all.
Juanjo
I have found that gay Republicans seem to run to two very general categories.
The first group seem quite happy to separate out the rhetoric and actions of the current ruling bloc of the Republican Party when it comes to issues like gay rights, women’s rights and minorities right and focus on what they believe is an economic policy which will benefit them personally. They seem to think that the social agenda of that group will not touch them. They remind me of the Jewish businessmen in German who support the Nazis ignoring the anti-Semitic rhetoric.
The second group believes that they “blend in” and thus are not going to be touched so long as they follow the agenda. The Lindsey Graham/Aaron Schock type of queens. They are happy to do the bidding of the ruling party elite believing they are the pet fag and thus somehow completely safe.
The fact is that when the fertilizer hits the winnowing fork, these are the ones who are going to catch it. Look at the Log Cabin girls, they have been trying to get the Republican Party to let them sit in the front parlor with the others and they find themselves routinely sent to the scullery where they are fed moldy bread and thank the massah for giving them that.
jwtraveler
It’s not surprising that there are gay Republicans. I expect we will see many more now that gay marriage is legal. Like most Republicans they are for more rights, freedom and privilege for themselves, don’t care about anyone else and think they are entitled to tell everyone else how to live their lives.
I do have to agree that to be a devout conservative Christian and gay there probably has to be some self-hatred involved. How else can you devote yourself to an ideology that ignores you at best and vilifies you at worst?
lcandela123
@Alexander R. Rodriguez: pure blatherskite
lcandela123
@Giancarlo85: I was wondering that, too. Somehow the Republicans have convinced many fools that they are the experts when they’ve really been awful failures. It is similar to their “message” that they are the real Americans and the real Christians. Just their usual pompous hot air.
Doughosier
I wonder if there were Jewish Nazis durung WW2 as well?
Giancarlo85
@jwtraveler: I highly doubt it.
“Like most Republicans they are for more rights”
Really? How so? Republicans are all about limiting rights.
“don’t care about anyone else and think they are entitled to tell everyone else how to live their lives.”
Interesting because I see republicans telling people how to live their lives all the time.
You’re being ridiculous… you used to be logical, but now you’ve made some rather ridiculous statements. Republicans are not for “more freedom”. That’s a lie.
@lcandela123: Religious conservatives are one thing, but even the so called “non-religious” parts of the republican party are against average people.
I just don’t get it when people associate economic prosperity and freedom with the republican party. They have never guaranteed either, and their policies are nothing short of disastrous.

So was this statement made in sarcasm? No knee jerk reaction. And I didn’t insult you either.
Alistair Wiseman
As a former Democrat, I understand the animus and contention concerning conservatives who happen to be gay. I was one of them and after reading through these comments I recognize myself in more than a few of the sentiments above.
What I find interesting, is the work that gay conservative groups do WITHIN the Republican Party and the reaction they receive by the majority of gays. One would naturally think that a gay group working to change the hearts and minds of a particular group would be commendable and applauded. Apparently, if gays and lesbians work for inclusion to advocate support for fairness, freedom and equality for LGBT people, it is also worthy of ridicule.
It took me a little while to understand this dichotomy. Why wouldn’t all gays want to support other gays in the advancement of liberty and equality for LGBT people? I finally realized that gay liberals aren’t nearly concerned about equality for gays as they are about liberalism.
Liberal hubris runs very deep.
DC Sheehan
If you are gay but don’t support gay marriage then you don’t believe you are deserving of equality – that’s just sad.
Demetrius Greene
Hmm. I wonder which political party makes it hard to be a gay Republican.
James Moya
The internal discrimination continues…. What happened to equality? All Im reading from people in these comments are self-righteous hate mongering on a different group of people within the LGBT community. So much for the pride flag being all-inclusive. No matter what your opinion is you should be celebrating your differences not bemoaning people that are different from you. ELE

@Alistair Wiseman:
And yet, as is typical with your type of post, you provide zero detaiks.
What are these great works that the gay groups do in the GOO? Would that be GOP ROUND that already folded?
Or Log Cabin that endorsed multiple anti-gay candidates and cheered when the Iraq War Vet who introduced the repeal od DADT was defeated by his anti-gay opponent?
Oh wait, that’s right, you provided zero back up facts and as usual jus wanted to make vague attacks against “liberals”.
But then again, you and the other fading defenders of the GOP in here will always attack anybody seems to actually fight for LGBT rights.
Giancarlo85
@Alistair Wiseman: More absolute nonsense and hatred. It is ironic you keep projecting your insecurities.
Gay conservative groups do not do any work trying to change minds. As can has said, these groups endorse antigay republicans simply because they are republican. They aren’t trying to change the minds of others, but rather they are selling us out. Gay republicans are self interested and do not care about the community. They will endorse whatever Republican that comes along.
Your vicious attacks on the left continue. You fail to realize we are indeed more concerned about equality and prosperity than you think. You on the right only care about yourselves. If you really cared about equality you wouldn’t be conservative.
Your own hubris exposes serious hypocrisy.
@James Moya: And yet another blind attack. First off, these gay conservatives endorse and work with people who are against equality. That is betrayal. Why would I endorse such nefarious activity? I am not going to celebrate people who are more interested in advocating certain candidates over equality. And the republican party is disgustingly hateful and dangerous. By the way, political opinions are chosen… They have nothing to do with inclusion. You are acting as if people are born right wing. No, they willingly choose to be ignorant.
Cagnazzo82
@Alistair Wiseman: If we had a Republican president, both houses controlled by republicans, and even just one or two more conservatives on the Supreme Court there would be absolutely 0 progress in terms of gay rights in this country.
Spare me the BS about what conservative gays are doing within the Republican party. Actions speak louder than words and gay republicans accomplish absolutely nothing aside from supporting policies solely aimed at selfishly padding their pockets.
Furthermore republicans have an abysmal track record in terms of administering their half-baked fiscal policies when they’re in power.
The only purpose in being a republican these days is promoting xenophobia against mexicans and/or pushing the same old supply-side BS that benefits no one aside a few making more than enough income.
I have 0 respect for that basket-case party and even less for gays pretending there’s something noble about being a republican.
1EqualityUSA
Alistair Wiseman said, ” Why wouldn’t all gays want to support other gays in the advancement of liberty and equality for LGBT people?” Every vote counts. The Supreme Court stands to have 3 to 4, possible 5 new justices to replace. This is not a time to be lovey dovey with gays who vote for a party who wants nothing more than to undo the progress we made. What a troll! Wiseman, you are a troll. First you say, “I have a hot, Latino man” which was utter bullshit and now you say that your were a Democrat. Is this what they taught you in Mormon classes, how to ingratiate yourself to those you are trying to coerce? What a piece of work. Give it up.

While i’m not American, i am Conservative too and gay. There is no contradiction here in the UK where it was the Conservative party that introduced the bill for gay marriage (though it did take cross party support to pass). In the US, Ron Paul was the only candidate i got excited about but he never stood a chance of winning and got less support than the crazy candidates.
So if i was american i would vote Democrat but not positively, rather it is because the Republican party is so fcking insane. I’m also ethnically asian and we tend to veer towards conservatives but when Republicans have alienated even us… you know there is something wrong.

Franklin
I’m sorry, but as a black gay man, I find it very problematic for me to support the Republican party as it stands today. Between their abysmal record on gay rights and their even worse attitude towards minorities they leave me no choice. I believe that most gay republicans are of the mindset that their money will insulate them from issues that gay people face. That’s why they are so easily able compartmentalize their homosexuality, in order to support policies that they feel will get them more money.

The scam that the Log Cabin defenders on here will try to pull.
They won’t detail the anti-gay rhetoric of the GOP, they will say:
Oh, supposed “Liberals” are intolerant bullies towards people with “Political Differences”.
What they always leave out that the “Political differences” are the fact that the GOP, in it’s platform has an all out attack against LGBT Civil Rights, and that every single GOP candidate for President except 2 want a Constitutional amendment attacking LGBT civil rights.
So the “Political Differences” they claim liberals are intolerant of, are actually, the fact that the GOP wants to attack us, and then say that because we do not want to be attacked we are intolerant.
It is a scam, and the Log Cabin defenders constantly try to pull it.
Basically they are saying that if a woman pushes a rapist off her, she is being intolerant of the fact that the rapist has a difference of opinion from her.
What they leave out is that the rapists opinion is that she should be attacked and raped.
AtticusBennett
my fave thing is when gay republicans say “i’m more discriminated against by gay liberals than by straight conservatives!”

He said, proudly and in an unfiltered way, that she’s now considered, “untrustable.” He bragged about the GOP’s efforts to bring her down, losing sight of the fact that this committee was supposed to be about the 4 killed.

Good afternoon, ya’ll…
It is without reasoning that so much hatred is directed at the Log Cabin Republicans.
It is despicable that most of you believe that anyone that is conservative wants to force you to live in the closet for the rest of your lives and squash your rights to a loving relationship. I find your attack on conservative Americans idiotic and sick. And especially this inane hatred you feel toward your own group.
You really show your true colors by redefining the significance of conservatism to fit you agenda. Why must it be about taking away what you so hard have worked to gain? Why must it be that you are content to force your homosexual idealism to Conservatives and Christians? Is it your way of getting back at those who harmed you and persecuted you for your sexual identity? Is this what this is? Why must you applaud the hatred of conservative homosexuals? Isn’t this familiar territory once traveled by all homosexuals not too long ago.
Please, reply to the following question, any of you, please reply sincerely.
If you are so happy with the ruling of the SCOTUS and are elated to have come this far, and have reached so much good and have done so well for your community then why are you so angry, bitter and have so much hatred toward others who don’t have the same views as yourself?
I have accomplished so much in my life on my own and I am very proud of who I am and what I do and my life that anyone who feels some need, some desire to attack me, what I stand for, or for my running for the U.S. Senate and for being a conservative, an uber-conservative at that, anyone who tries to belittle me, offend me or insult my sexual identity fails miserably because I know who I am and who I am is who I designed myself to be and I don’t need anyone’s approval nor their affirmation – I am who I am and I am supreme in my own world and my power and courage comes from within, not from those who think I am less then.
Millions of homosexuals are not happy, they are not content. They are dissatisfied with themselves. Millions of homosexuals and lesbians are discontent because although you have come far, millions still see you as perverted and sick and you can’t handle this because you seek affirmation and acceptance of the world. Millions of homosexuals are lonely and afraid that one day very soon all that you have accomplished will come crashing down.

Joanne Selena Lopez C.,
Wow. Where to start . . .
“It is without reasoning that so much hatred is directed at the Log Cabin Republicans.”
– Two things: 1) not all disagreement is “hatred”; 2) If those who are [to use your words] directing hatred are doing so without reason, that means YOU don’t understand their motivations.
“It is despicable that most of you believe that anyone that is conservative wants to force you to live in the closet for the rest of your lives and squash your rights to a loving relationship.”
– Thank you for telling us what most us believe. The only thing despicable here is your hubris, condescension and generalization.
“I find your attack on conservative Americans idiotic and sick.”
– I find your baseless opinions to be idiotic, sick and harmful.
“You really show your true colors by redefining the significance of conservatism to fit you agenda.”
– I think it’s pretty clear who is showing their true colors here.
“Why must it be that you are content to force your homosexual idealism to Conservatives and Christians?”
– Are you being made to marry someone of the same gender against your will?? Because THAT would be forcing you.
“Why must you applaud the hatred of conservative homosexuals? Isn’t this familiar territory once traveled by all homosexuals not too long ago.”
– Almost everyday there is yet another horrific story of a GLBT person being physically attacked or killed in the U.S. while there are virtually NO reported physical attacks on conservatives/christians by LGBT folk. Sorry, you don’t get to play the victim here.
“If you are so happy with the ruling of the SCOTUS and are elated to have come this far, and have reached so much good and have done so well for your community then why are you so angry, bitter and have so much hatred toward others who don’t have the same views as yourself?”
– Who says I am angry, bitter and hateful? I defy you to prove your idiotic claim. You don’t know me, but you think you do. That is [one of the areas] where you are wrong. That is what undermines your very premise, and, subsequently, invalidates any arguments you put forth.
“I have accomplished so much in my life on my own and I am very proud of who I am and what I do and my life that anyone who feels some need, some desire to attack me, what I stand for, or for my running for the U.S. Senate and for being a conservative, an uber-conservative at that, anyone who tries to belittle me, offend me or insult my sexual identity fails miserably because I know who I am and who I am is who I designed myself to be and I don’t need anyone’s approval nor their affirmation – I am who I am and I am supreme in my own world and my power and courage comes from within, not from those who think I am less then.”
– Ditto (except for the “conservative” and “running for office” part). I have also watched as my lover passed from a non-responsive, conservative-run, (pseudo-) christian-centric government.
“Millions of homosexuals are not happy, they are not content. They are dissatisfied with themselves. Millions of homosexuals and lesbians are discontent because although you have come far, millions still see you as perverted and sick and you can’t handle this because you seek affirmation and acceptance of the world. Millions of homosexuals are lonely and afraid that one day very soon all that you have accomplished will come crashing down.”
– Gee, thanks again for telling us we are not happy or content. Where would I be without you telling me this stuff? Can I call you each morning so you can tell me how I am to be each day?
Fact: christianity is about 2000 years old. There have been homosexuals for as long as there have been humans (that would be millions and millions of years to rational folk, or about 6000 years for thumpers). Keep it up with your misguided, uninformed, dangerous, anti-American rhetoric as it will eventually cause your religion to come crashing down.
Religions come and religions go. And yet we remain.
