In case you're not familiar with Barron or his organization, GOProud is a conservative gay group. They believe that their fiscal values as Republicans outweigh any social issues that come to the forefront regarding the LGBT community. As a group, they are vehemently opposed to the overturn of DOMA and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Not because of what it stands for, but how they were reversed. A repeal is a repeal, right? Not to them. Last year, the Keynote speaker at their convention was Ann Coulter. She's the poster child for everything that's wrong with the Republican party. Last month, when asked what she would do if her son came out as gay, she proudly said, "Obviously, I'd tell him he was adopted, and ask for help in redecorating the dining room".
Fast forward to today...
"When my partner and I talk about the issues that impact us, we're not talking about hate crimes. We're talking about taxes." If hate crimes aren't an issue that you and your partner discuss at the dinner table, let me fill you in on something......YOU'RE NOT FUCKING GAY! If you are a gay man and are going to speak to Michele Bachmann, and the subject doesn't come up about her husband's "ex-gay reparative therapy" clinic, guess what? YOU'RE NOT FUCKING GAY!
The fair tax? Personal savings accounts? When your priority is to protect your wallet before your civil liberties, then you may be a conservative, but you certainly aren't a part of the gay community. "Gay conservative" is an oxymoron. It doesn't exist. The words aren't meant to go together. It's much like "Amish IPhone app". It doesn't make sense.
