I find it quite disturbing how I can count the number of Republicans on that list on one hand...and still have one finger to go.

What a pathetic excuse for a political party. But hey...they're a "diverse party." They just appoint all the minorities and women to non-crucial administration positions, while the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Homeland Security, Supreme Court justices (so Harriet Miers was the most "qualified" woman Bush could find in America, I guess?), Federal Reserve chairman...all remain solidly white male.

With that, perhaps you can see why these dinosaurs can't even imagine being gay friendly.

Actually....you may want to only count three of them...

One of the Republicans on the list is gay so he is clearly a disillusioned moderate democrat!
