Unfortunately, David, the intellectual dishonesty is far more apparent now than it was in 1992 or even 1996. In both of those elections, neither the Democratic or GOP candidate was where they should have been on LGBT equality, so you were left to guess who might do the least damage or who had the best chance to “evolve.” Not excusing Clinton for DADT or DOMA but clearly either of the GOP alternatives would have pursued the same path or worse.

2012 on the other hand offers total intellectual clarity. When it comes to Obama vs. Romney, there really is no confusion as to who the better choice is for LGBT voters who care about equality. Notice I didn’t say Obama was perfect on LGBT issues. However, you don’t have to be perfect when the alternative is Mitt Romney openly pledging to obliterate gay rights.

So David, here is the intellectual honesty that you don’t want to accept: when you cast that vote for Romney, no matter how hard you hold your nose, squint your eyes and gird your loins, you’re voting for and personally owning all his positions. There are no caveats in voting and that sir, is the simple unvarnished truth.

So sad that people can delude themselves so completely they will sell their own people down the river for the sake of ideology. As people move away from rigid party lines, I have a hard time understanding how anyone can cling so desperately to an antiquated ideology when it means supporting candidates who outspokenly oppose their interests. Is the need to belong and be accepted by the so-called “daddy party” really that strong? The Dems certainly have their faults, but they at least practice what they preach about being a “big tent.” The Republicans have become completely untethered from reality, and it’s too bad the Log Cabin Republicans are floating off into la-la land with them.

Finally, a little intellectual honesty about the double standard so many gay Dems have about their support for Clinton. Just try to fathom the damage DADT and DOMA have done to our community, and they simply looked the other way.

Sorry Peter, but I simply don’t get the “I respect Clarke Cooper as an individual and a friend” platitude, since he clearly doesn’t respect you. Other than Barney Frank, everybody wants to play this game where we act like it’s professional, not personal Well Peter it’s very personal and its time to let not just Clarke Cooper know, but everybody else who tries to play this “qualified endorsement” game, that when you vote for Romney, we hold you responsible for not just the positions you like but all his positions including the heinous anti-gay pledges as well.

I consider NO Log Cabin Republican a friend of mine, and if introduced to one, I will walk away in an insulting way! They advocate inequality of Gays, then let them feel the inequality of being shunned by their own people!
shun, shun, shun the bastards!

To gain an existential understanding of the cult that produced Mitt Romney, and to get your socks scared off, read The Assassination of Spiro Agnew, available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+Assassination+of+Spiro+Agnew

Its unwilling, part-Mexican Mormon assassin dramatizes the Mormon superiority complex, manifesting it as racism, sexism, jingoism and an anti-federal government temperament. His research in the new library reveals ominous similarities between Islam and Mormonism. The spiritual power behind the cult, which is not the Holy Ghost, acts out.

“With a clarity of language and vision unsurpassed in contemporary American prose, Steven Janiszewski’s Assassination of Spiro Agnew takes us into a U.S. mazed with madness and Mormonism and all things Utah, a U.S. that was then and still is. Readers, welcome to a masterpiece.”.

I cried when we lost HRC and the Stonewall Democrats in 1996 when they endorsed Bill Clinton after he signed DADT and DOMA into law. I guess they lacked the courage of their convictions too.
