Frank Rich: The Gay Old Party Comes Out

[cboy4]

"...a little creative Googling will yield a long list of who else is gay, openly and not, in the highest ranks of both the Bush administration and the Republican hierarchy. The openly gay range from Steve Herbits, the prescient right-hand consultant to Donald Rumsfeld who foresees disaster in Iraq in Bob Woodward’s book “State of Denial,” to Israel Hernandez, the former Bush personal aide and current Commerce Department official whom the president nicknamed “Altoid boy.” (Let’s not go there.)

"The split between the Republicans’ outward homophobia and inner gayness isn’t just hypocrisy; it’s pathology."

6. the best friend of those for whom sex is joyless, twisted

and wrapped in meaningless traditionalism is conservatism.

the best friend of those for whom sex is happy, joyous and free is liberalism.

7. The GOP gives gays power while they want it to be ok to fire me for being

gay? I sure wish they'd get their stories straight. I don't want homophobic gays who haven't grown up enough to admit publically who they are to make any decisions regarding America's future. Ironic that the homophobic Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson put these gays in power. Frank Rich is one of the few Americans I trust and his articles are the only things worth reading.

I really am beginning to think there are more gays in the GOP than any other organization on earth with the possible exception of purely gay organizations.
