Duke GOP club leader says ouster is due to his sexuality

Duke GOP club leader says ouster is due to his sexuality

The former president of Duke University’s College Republican club is alleging he was ousted last week because he is gay. But the official impeachment article makes no mention of sexuality.

Justin Robinette, a Duke junior who was just re-elected for a second term in March, said revelations about his sexual orientation led to discrimination and harassment of him and his executive board.

“Comments were made directly to me and my executive board before and after the meeting concerning my sexual orientation, calling me a supporter of the faggot center, calling me ironic, calling me disgusting,” Robinette told The Daily Tar Heel.

Log Cabin Republicans believe that Freedom isn't Free-- They will sell theirs in exchange for tax-cuts for the wealthy, and will throw-in their dignity and self-respect as a bonus.

2. Talk about oxymoron..gay repuke is at the top of the list.
LOVE your frog and scorpion image.
That is such a great fable and so appropriate for repukes. There is no hope for any change in their midst.

4. Well, a late awakening is better than no awakening at all.
Gays aren't really welcome in the republican party, no matter what piece of candy they hold out for you.

And just remember Mr. Robinette, a tax cut for the wealthy will not apply to your estate or anything you will to your long time shoe butler or whatever you have refer to your partner as at your republican society gatherings.

Cause you still won't be legally married - and the people you've thrown your lot in with would refuse to recognize it anyway, and are just using you, and will discard you in a heartbeat when you've served your purpose.

I just can't work up a whole lot of empathy. Yep, it's that way with those people, and that's who ya hang out with? You need new friends.

5. the Dem party has some Gay-haters, so you dont' think the GOP is RAMPANT with them Justin?
what lesson did you learn, Mr Robinette?

Some rabid rethugs would grind you up if they could get away with it, Justin.
