This Is Battered Women's Syndrome, Isn't It?
There are still some sick, sad gay Republicans who would stand up and support Bush. I have a message for these people:
Who was your last boyfriend, Ike Fucking Turner?
Okay, seriously. I know they consider themselves more-than-one-issue voters who only view their gayness as one aspect of their political whole. I respect that, in a way.
But. When they vote Bush, they vote for someone who marginalizes them, reduces them in importance to some sort of "they", and wants to turn them into second-class citizens. If the people they vote for consider them important, or in this case unimportant, for only one aspect, then why shouldn't they do the same?
