Why Do Republicants Hate Gays?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I am familiar with Godwin's Law but a gay person who votes Republicant is like a Jewish person who votes National Socialist or a chicken that votes for Colonel Sanders.

That is all...

1. No it's like a self mutilation thing. They hate what is in them.

Just ask any male Catholic. Did they ever want to look up Jesus' sarong on the cross?

Sure they did!!! To see his weenie!!

2. It's not who they hate; it's that they thrive on division, fear, and hatred,

in the absence of real ideas. How do you get people to vote against their own best interests?

[Scuba]

4. Nailed it.

15. Yup. "Don't look at us; look at them. They're your enemy." n/t

[DrDan]

3. it gets them more votes . . . . it's all about votes

[meowomon]

5. I think this most recent stunt by the gop will motivate younger voters

One can hope.

[Smarmie Doofus]

6. We're perceived as an obstinate minority.

Majorities generally are hostile towards minorities.

It's sort of the default position.

Combine this with lack of clarity re. sex, brain physiology and psychology and you have what you have.

7. I get the feeling they're repressing their desires. n/t

[TexasObserver]

8. They're mean spirited bullies who enjoy taunting the vulnerable.

9. Let's not act like all Dems are for gay rights

Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor were two dems who voted to filibuster DADT.

11. And? They're still Dems. The headline for this thread makes it sound like ALL

Republicans are against gay rights.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Aren't They?

[Dappleganger]

26. They're not Dems, period!

They vote against pretty much most democratic legislation which proves it, too.

[KharmaTrain]

13. It Means $$$ And Votes...

This is the corrupt party of the so-called "self righteous"...the fundies and homophobes who write big checks and fill the church busses that keep many rushpublicans in office. In this party's race to the bottom homophobia is a oottage industry as seen with how they've tried to wedge GMA in "conservative" states to amp up the vote.

It's all about power...the only thing the rushpublicans care about and they don't care who they shit upon to get it.

[Vickers]

14. They think it makes them look tougher, because they are under the

delusion that gay people are weaker.

Plus, they're stupid.

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. Gays, Guns and God all wrapped up one issue

It covers all their bases on the DADT bullshit.

[VMI Dem]

17. Gays should always choose the kind master over the cruel master.

[jpljr77]

18. Because God told them to, duh. n/t

[ladjf]

19. Political gain among their base. nt

[The_Commonist]

20. Oh c'mon! It's icky!!!

It's really that simple.
Of course, they find lots of things icky.

I find Republicans icky...

[Iggo]

21. Cuz ther paster tells em to.

[HughBeaumont]

22. Sigh . . . silly . . .

They like THIS:



It's THIS they're against:


Oh wait . . .

[Bragi]

23. It confounds their patriarchal values /nt

[scheming daemons]

24. Religion is the problem

It has been my experience that the more "religious" a person is, the more anti-gay they are.

If we could get rid of all religions, then there would be a drastic decrease in anti-gay rhetoric and policies in this world.

Atheists typically don't hate gays.

[MadHound]

25. Meanwhile the Log Cabin Republicans won their court case, declaring DADT unconstitutional

More progress than the Dems or Obama has made. Just sayin'

27. They'll leave gays alone someday

They get tired of the same old scapegoats. They'll hate on someone else eventually.
