    Default Proud to be gay, proud to be Republican

    Thiel made some really good points. If republicans can get over their social dogma, republicans could possibly go back to their glory days about being for the middle class etc. They really need to drop the religious right crap and move on. Gay marriage is here, deal with it. Whining about welfare and minorities doesn't help anything. Come up with solutions instead of whining about it.

    I have a gay friend who is republican and several years ago I asked him how he could be republican and he said it was about fiscal policies and so forth and not social issues. Like Thiel, he said I don't have to agree with every plank of the republican platform.

    We are not a theocracy, let it go.

    We have really come a long way and wont go back. I was so happy to see this said, and cheered for, at a Republican convention.

    If not for the social-issue conservatives, this nation would be much more conservative overall, and our policies would be much more to the center & right.

    They have kept MANY people from voting Republican. And it's a shame, because there are many more people who are fiscally conservative.

    The religious right was the worst thing to happen to conservatism.

    The funny thing is that the platform is awful against gays, how can he deny that?

    He made it clear he doesn't agree with everything in the platform. He spoke about the need to get past bathroom issues. He said he was gay but also an American

    You must be talking about Thiel then. Where did he deny it? In fact, he quite expressly talked about it.

    It is the most extreme platform thus far, he is in denial! as are the Republicans in the audience, they probably think he plans to enter conversion therapy!

    How do you think he is in denial? He flat out said he doesn't agree with it. Many in the audience clapped at his words. Sometimes you are either very obtuse or you're lying. I don't think you're a liar though, but you really get things so wrong it makes me wonder.

    liberals forget that the cruz people hijacked several of the platform comitees. Which is why there is a disconect between the reaction to gays in the rules comitees and the general population.

    Given that Milo is one of us Trumpians actually love gays a lot.
