KIRK SNYDER ON LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS

The gay republican group has elected a new leader. Mr. Snyder of Huffpo has written a passionate piece on the folly of the very existence of a gay republican. Here's his conclusion:

If you vote Republican because you falsely believe they are the party that will somehow put more money in your pocket, then you have chosen greed over your own identity. For every gay, lesbian or transgender American that is bashed, taunted, fired from their job, denied housing, healthcare or civil rights, you carry a portion of that responsibility because you advocate and vote for candidates that represent a political party that collectively refuses to do anything to stop these atrocities. In fact, by being a Log Cabin Republican, you support it.

Amen!
