    Well now, and here I thought Romney could pretty much do whatever he wanted now that he's their party presidential candidate. Apparently not...

    God I can't wait until the younger generation of repubs starts running things, but then again maybe the indoctrination in concentrated conservative areas is too much and the party will have to drag these people and ideals along for another generation.

    I really am disappointed, honestly. It's especially timely given the recent thread on LGBT conservatives. This was their chance to show that the right can set aside personal beliefs for good policy. And, in the bigger picture, that gay people aren't going to bow down to pressure from the religious right. So much for that.

    That's the point I came here to make. Keep in mind by the way that this guy wasn't even running for elected office, and he was working on an issue that is completely separate and not even remotely related to LGBT equality, and he was drummed out regardless. Like I said in the LGBT conservative thread; a republican's right-wing base is more important than any gay will ever be.
