So...I was recently the guest speaker at a meeting of the Log Cabin Republicans, a group more courageous and filled with independence of spirit than even the Jewish or Black Republicans. In this group, I was a minority within a minority, squared--the only female and the only straight person.
My theme was: The Agony & Ecstasy of Being Different and Tolerating Disapproval in a Free Society.
We had a fascinating discussion about everything from "Gay Marriage" to the incoming President.
Then, one of the members said something I think is worth repeating far and wide, because it's so true. He said:
"I have encountered much more hostility as a Republican in a group of gay people than I ever have as a gay person in a group of Republicans."
Truer words were never spoken. I do hope you let your liberal friends know the truth about their professed "tolerance."
