Hey, Gay Republicans!
See, gays are generally an accepting, peaceable group. Discrimination often — but certainly not always — tends to make a soul more sympathetic to the plights of others.
It’s “your side” that tends to be filled with hatred…hiding behind self-righteousness and passing judgment.
When your “glass closets” come crashing down around you, I feel no sympathy. Had your “glass closet” been used as merely a survival tool, then I would, as I do not like to see people suffer. But when it has been used to protect a secret that reeks with pompous hypocrisy — allowing you to inflict suffering on others and to perpetuate hate — it doesn’t do a whole lot more than make me sick to my stomach.
See, if you were just honest with yourself and accepted who you are, “our side” would welcome you, Republican and all. It’s “your side” that will shun and ridicule. Just the hate-mongers would abandon you.
We would not.
Seriously, come on out. The light burns worse inside a “glass closet” and you don’t have to worrying about throwing stones.
Then you won’t have to stand on national television and profess, “I have never been gay!” (“And I apparently have never heard of the ‘How do you make Ben gay?’ joke; otherwise I would have made a better choice of words.”)
Oh, and make sure to ask yourself if your fellow GOPers want you to resign because you broke the law or because of what the circumstances imply. I, myself, think you should resign because broke the law and because you are a hypocrite.
