For Gay Republicans, Politics is Not Just One Issue
Advertisements [?]
Oh puh-leeeeeeez! Hold your nose on this one. More self-loathing from the Log Cabinites:

Log Cabin Republicans meet in San Diego for their annual convention this weekend. Among the speakers: Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sexual preference transcends political party. And gay Republicans are out to prove they're no oxymoron. KPBS reporter Andrew Phelps has the story.

What better way to kick off a convention in sunny San Diego than a pool party? A gay Republican pool party.

Kevin Norte of Hollywood is poolside in his trunks. He's a Log Cabin Republican.

Norte: For me, Log Cabin represents the basic, original, core values of the Republican Party, of individual freedom, combined with, like, low taxes, not excessive spending, like, a balanced budget, thank you!

Notice he said nothing about gay rights. Norte calls himself a moderate Republican who happens to be gay. For Norte, gay rights is really important. He wants legal recognition of his 30-year partnership. But it's not more important than, say, a strong national defense.
