Romney lets gay foreign policy advisor Richard Grenell be black balled by social cons; Obama lets gay ambassador Christopher Stevens be raped and murdered.

Neither party is worth voting for.

I LOVE IT!

I think it’s kinds funny, kinda sad how Prop 8 lawyer Ted Olson is once again throwing LGBTs under a bus by helping the GOP win in November (like he did here in CA back in 2010). I’m remembering how Democrats helped GWB vote in Alito and Roberts when Bush was Prez.

Gay Inc. mega groups and the LGBT media have ignored alternative party options who have been 100% supportive of equality (Rocky Anderson, Jill Stein, and Gary Johnson) and now we’re getting a dose of how that feels with Olson.

Karma : )

LOL.

Says the director of Stonewall Democrats: “the former solicitor general is ‘subject to the same cognitive dissonance’ as other conservative [sic] who vote against their own interests in favor of ideological purity.”

Kettle, meet pot.

Is it so difficult to understand that all voters, including those of us in the LGBT community, base their election choices on more than one issue?

We all won’t always agree on which candidates to support, but these types of arrogant blanket putdowns are not very persuasive when expressing one’s partisan point of view.

Jimmy LaSalvia appears to be the Blade’s go to guy for gratuitous quotes and superficial political analysis. So Jimmy, why is it that a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage doesn’t have a chance of passing out of Congress? Not because 99.9% of republicans would support it, but because they don’t hold enough seats in the current Congress and aren’t expected to obtain the 67% majority they would need in the upcoming Congress to make it happen. So, I know it is hard for you to say the words Jimmy, but give it a try….it’s the Democrats that enlightened LGBT voters continue to support that makes your pronouncement likely. The people you support and promote would like nothing better than to prove you wrong. It’s the rest of us, who allow GOProud to act irresponsibly and save them from themselves.

So, please Chris, enough of Jimmy LaSalvia already. You need to work harder for some insightful commentary. The only people who you should have gotten on record is Log Cabin who have deemed Olsen a ‘conservative hero.” Be interesting to hear Clarke Cooper’s twisted logic on how Olsen’s halo still shines bright in Log Cabin’s make believe world where they are welcomed because “inclusion wins” and Republicans actually practice it.
