"Working together, we can expand the Republican Party's outreach to nontraditional Republicans," [Mary Cheney] said in the statement. "We can make sexual orientation a nonissue for the Republican Party and we can help achieve equality for all gay and lesbian Americans."
What a load of total crap. Any idea that you can 'work the Right around' to give equality is like believing that if you flick the privates of a rabid pit-bull it won't attack you. They will never like you. They will never tolerate you. If you're queer and you want to hang around with Conservatives, then be prepared to submerge your sexuality right down where it will never pop up again, because it's more acceptable for heterosexual men to commit adultery with women they have no intention of seeing again than for a man to sleep with a man or a woman with a woman that they intend to stay with for the rest of their lives. After all, consider all these fine people who obviously can't believe in the sanctity of marriage. Beware anyone who says that their sexuality isn't the defining aspect of their lives. Because on the whole they only use that when they're in the position of trying to justify the unjustifiable. Sexuality isn't plug and play, you can't take it out when you're not using it and stick it in a box under the bed. A lesbian is still a lesbian even if she doesn't get read. And working for a homophobic party is still collaborating with your oppressor. Queers have no business helping or voting for the Right, period.
