Giuliani emerging as favorite of gays

[CatWoman]

favorite what?

that's the question :)

DENVER --Rudy Giuliani emerged as a favorite among many members of the GOP's largest gay organization, who cited his record on social issues, taxes and defense.

However, delegates to the Log Cabin Republicans annual convention said Friday they also fear that the former New York mayor, in his bid to capture the Republican presidential nomination, might be waffling as he reaches out to the more conservative GOP voters who hold sway in the primaries.

"Mainstream Republican voters and moderate voters are going to vote for you. Don't tilt to the right," said Frank Ricchiazzi, who helped found the Log Cabin group 30 years ago.

Ricchiazzi, who wore an "I Love Rudy" button, cited Giuliani's remarks on abortion during the GOP presidential candidates' debate Thursday night.

With a record of supporting abortion rights, Giuliani said "it would be OK" if the Supreme Court upholds the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion. "It would be OK to repeal it. It would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as precedent," he said.

3. The truth is he doesn't give a shit one way or the other about either gay rights or abortion.

4. not all gay but just GAY REPUBLICANS

"Rudy Giuliani emerged as a favorite among many members of the GOP's largest gay organization, who cited his record on social issues, taxes and defense."

7. I think the subject lends itself to error as well.

5. Interesting...think they're trying to torpedo Rudy's campaign with this title?

Wish they'd put 'republican' in front of gay in that title though.

6. What a shame it is to find out that there are so many selfish gay assholes...

kinda sad really.

[LeftCoast]

10. Um, 'scuse me but I think there are a lot more str8 people that support Rudy than gays

Maybe you'd like to rethink how your comment sounds cuz it pretty much pisses this homo off.

11. i think this comment may have been directed at gay republicans, who are a true shame

to the gay community. still i think as a community we have the lowest number of republicans.

[LeftCoast]

12. I hope so

It's nice to see you around, in any case!

:hug:

9. signs of affection between straight men doesnt make Rudy gay.

he is still a straight person. also wearing womens clothes is often a fetishized straight man thing to do.

dont blame rudy on us :P

[youngdem]

17. I'm not...I'm trying to pawn him off on you. We don't want him

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. well he is one of yours.... stop making him out to be gay.., he's yours...deal!!

:P

[MADem]

19. Well, the implication is that he is "simpatico"--who was the guy who made the

comment about Rudy's family values, after he'd dumped his wife for his girlfriend and was "living with two gay guys and a shitzhu?" (He actually WAS doing that--sharing an apartment with two gay friends, while Donna Hanover stayed in Gracie Mansion.)

13. Correction: Giuliani emerging as favorite of self-loathing gays n/t

edited (can't believe I even had a typo in an n/t post!!!!)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. you should really edit the subject line to include gay republicans and not gays

[Parche]

15. Oxymoron

Log Cabin Republicans.....biggest oxymoron in the world..........




OH MEOW

20. He might be a favorite of

gay Republicans, but he's most certainly NOT a favorite of "gays" in general.

We tend to vote for Democrats ;)

[HockeyMom]

21. Rudy is now pandering to the "christian" right

His record, and New Yorkers know this, he has always been Pro Choice and Pro Gay rights.

Actually, he is/was probably more to the left of Hillary on these issues.

He would have been better off sticking to his guns on these issues. It would at the very least show honesty. The Fundies don't believe he has "seen the light" and the rest of the country is more in line with his previous views.

22. Would that be gay people who were lobotomized?

He's not my favorite, that's for goddamned sure.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. gay republicans. this thread is titled incorrectly.
