Delusional?
Only delusions here is that you seem to think that the Republican party doesn't hate gays..
Youre Republican..
Youre gay..
Not that hard to figure out.
Nah, that's no delusion.
Some Republicans well and truly hate gays, perhaps to a point bordering on how the Rev. Fred Phelps would like to deal with us. I'd say that those kinds of GOP'ers are a small minority.
Most are somewhere between seeing gays as a minority too small to worry about or as a minor annoyance to just being indifferent about our "class interests".
And there are quite a few GOP'ers who do care.
But here's a working delusion:
The vast majority of the gay population tends to think that the Republic with its nearly 350 million citizens should revolve around LGBT issues first and foremost, and the Democrats, ever looking for a gullible and loyal constituency, are the first to get schnookered into voting for their platform.
It's almost a sort of a mass hysteria that sets in - where one can hardly divorce his single issue away from the faulty politics of the one party that continually touts its good will toward him.
The GOP makes use of the Evangelical Right to similar ends for the GOP's votes (though with somewhat more tangible results, given that the Evangelicals are a much larger constituency than LGBT folks).
