Gay rights activist Fred Karger is running for president. The Republican filed his paperwork with the FEC on Wednesday.

“Today is a very significant day for my community and me,” Karger said in a statement. “I have just submitted my papers to the Federal Election Commission, making me the first candidate to file for the 2012 Republican nomination for President.”

The former GOP consultant announced he was a considering a run at the White House last year in New Orleans during the annual Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC), the most prominent Republican meet up outside of the Republican National Convention.

He went on to form a presidential exploratory committee, stumped in early caucus states New Hampshire and Iowa, and released ads in those states.

7. Most gays usually vote Dem (if at all). Wonder where their vote will go

now that DADT has been repealed, DOMA is under attack and a gay Republican is running.

Wonder if California's electoral votes will go Rethug? If so, we're probably doomed.

8. A gay rethug would be like a black KKK member or a Jewish neo-Nazi

Why would anyone want to belong to a group where a sizable portion of its members would prefer to have you executed, and even the "moderate" ones would prefer you stay in the closet, and not enjoy any civil rights.

Democrats very rarely view us as equal. At least for wealthy gays,the tax cuts are tangible benefits
