I just do not get it. Talk about turning yourself over to be slaughtered.

Again, I don't know why anyone would be a Republican, regardless of sexual orientation. But I also don't think Democrats (at national level) are that much better on our issues than Republicans. No leading Dem candidate supports true equality, Obama and Clinton both bombed on the homosexuality/morality question, they love to raise money from us, but they would rather not have to deal with our issues. Howard Dean went on Pat Robertson's show and made clear that Dems don't support gay marriage.

So maybe we don't get slaughtered by the Dem Party, but we do get treated like dirt. I am a Dem because of other issues not because of its sterling record on gay rights. Again, at the national level. I think it is different at state/local level.
