Oh The Drama of Being a Gay GOPer!

Just in case anyone missed it, I posted a YouTube clip of the relatively unknown Ryan Sorba spewing his anti-gay rhetoric at the CPAC. But, you know, there’s gonna be drama. I think that by now, most people should be able to understand the Republican party HAS BEEN kidnapped by the religious right and there really isn’t any room in the Grand Old Party for us homosexuals…and they really don’t need to make any as far as I’m concerned being they are the party responsible for the current shambles this country is in economically and otherwise.

But, nonetheless, I find this somewhat interesting…almost like a bad soap opera playing out on daytime TV. You know, like a car wreck, something you never really want to see, but can’t help but to stare a bit when you do.

So, here’s the video of our little (very little) Ryan Sorba blasting CPAC for including homosexuals in their little party:

(The lady should have acknowledged that opinions are like @ssholes…every person has one)

NOW….here comes the drama. Looks like Ryan Sorba getting booed off stage was only the beginning. Now there are some pissed off gay Republicans who would rather give the prick the satisfaction of making a bigger ass of himself, and possibly a name (much like most other Rush Limbaugh wannabe’s) then to simply let it go, and let Ryan go about his merry little way.

From Race for 2012 comes a post entitled “My Fight With Ryan Sorba, the Kid Who Denounced GOProud”:

“So, you’re the infamous Ryan Sorba,” I said.

“Yep!”

“You’ve made quite a name for yourself.”

“Haha, yeah. Where are you from?”

“I go to college around here, American University.”

“What are you studying?”

“I was double-majoring in Political Science with a political theory focus and International Relations with an Islamic Studies focus, but I think I’m going to drop the latter. I can’t take the relativistic preaching, the whitewashing of the burqa, Sayyid Qutb, the entire religion.”

“Yeah, I know what you mean. So what did you think of my little tirade, then?”

“Oh, I thought it was quite evil, actually. I’m gay.”

“You mean you think you’re gay.”

“No, I’m gay. Do you think it’s a choice?”

“I think it’s the result of a complex process of social and environmental factors, but that it’s reversible.”

“So, like, why is it that over one hundred animals have been observed engaging in homosexual sex in nature?”

“Well, only 0.2% of animals are known to do that — ”

” — I mean, mammals, obviously, not ants, birds — ”

” — you know, animals masturbate, your dog humps your leg. Does your dog talk with a lisp?”

“Do I talk with a lisp?!” I yelled.

“A little bit.” (I later asked a couple of gay friends if I have a small lisp; both of them said I have no lisp whatsoever. Aron, who is straight, has said my voice is sometimes theatrical, but that I don’t have a lisp.)

“Rudy Giuliani has a lisp — is he gay?”

And then he went off on what he affectionately called “his tirade” — giving the same mangled pseudo-Aristotelian spiel about how natural rights have to be grounded in natural law, meaning substance, and the final result of the reproductive organ must be a reproductive act, and all of that.

“Yeah, yeah, I get your argument, I understand it, ” I tried to interrupt, But he said that I didn’t, and he finished.

“But the vast majority of married couples partake in sodomy — oral sex, anal sex, fetishes. Hasn’t your girlfriend ever given you a blowjob? I think the government should just get out of the whole marriage business!”

Everyone around us agreed with that statement. Sensing some momentum, I went on: “I’m the one who says that my values shouldn’t have anything to do with government. It’s you who wants to impose his own biases upon the rest of the world!”

Nate Gunderson pondered why it was such a burning issue for Ryan.

“Because conservatives should not be upholding groups who support homosexual marriage and sodomy.”

I said something I don’t quite recall, and he mentioned something about how he could “take me on” physically if he needed to, to which I mentioned that his quick resort to force and threats said a lot about his political philosophy.

He said at around this point that he needed to go, and put out his hand to say goodbye. I stared at him, refusing to shake his hand, and he said “Well, I don’t really want to shake your hand, you’re intrinsically evil.”

We all started walking away, with him talking to his girlfriend, and me talking to Nate, blasting Sorba more.

Someone who was with him asked Sorba: “Really, though, he had a point: why do you care about this so much when the economy is in shambles and the debt is growing and spending is out of control?”

“Because it corrupts the youth and the culture,” he replied.

When we reached the area near the escalator downstairs, he turned on his camera. I put out my arms, striking a mocking pose, but realized he kept holding the camera at me.

“Wait, are you recording or taking a picture?” He was recording.

“Ah! OK…Well, I’d like to say, then, that the person behind the camera is a Hitler Youth waiting for a fuhrer to sweep him off his feet into a grand national project so he can sacrifice individuals like stock-fodder to his own biases.”

He turned off the camera and approached me. I told him he should get his girlfriend to give him a blowjob so that he could experience the joys of sodomy. He put two of his fingers an inch from my face and said that he’d want to fight me if a girl wasn’t around. “Ah, the use of force!” I said again.

It essentially ended, there. May this story make the rounds to further expose Sorba’s blithering idiocy!

It’s pretty clear that this kid is deep in the closet. When he says he’s never had a blowjob, I’m not sure what would be more pathetic: if he’s lying to me, or if he’s telling the truth. But any young guy so obsessed with homosexuality, so obsessed with maintaing that it’s reversible, is clearly a closet gay guy. Imagine when this closet case marries and his wife wants to make love to him: “Sorry, honey! Sex is only for reproduction, after all!” I’d feel somewhat sorry for the poor boy, but alas, he’s making everyone else’s lives more difficult in the meantime. So, screw him.

ROFL! I’m sorry, did someone say they were a gay Republican? Things that make you go hmmmmm…Why would anyone support a party in which the large majority of that party thinks they should be jailed or murdered for their sexuality?

Tune in next time!

Gay & Conservative GOPers Butt Heads

This year’s CPAC convention got underway yesterday in D.C. at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel and has a line of of presenters that include several anti-gay Republicans such as Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ann Coulter, Jim DeMint and Rick Santorum. The keynote speaker for the event is the Conservative FOX News pundit and entertainer Glenn Beck.

However, not all God fearing American Republicans will be attending the event. Representatives from the Law School at Liberty University (the Christian university founded by the late Jerry Falwell) opted out from attendance after learning the newly formed gay Republican group GOProud was co-sponsoring the meeting.

However, the GOProuders may find themselves a feeling a bit unwelcome as many anti-gay groups, such as Focus on the Family, the Eagle Forum and the Catholic Advocate will addressing a full range of social issues.

Included on the event’s agenda is a panel titled Saving Freedom from the Enemies of our Values.

Also in attendance is the multi-million dollar empire against marriage equality, NOM, who sent a message to the GOProud members:

“We have a message for GOProud on marriage: If you try to elect pro-gay marriage Republicans, we will Dede Scozzafava them. The majority of Americans, and the vast majority of Republicans, support marriage as the union of husband and wife, and NOM is here to make sure these voters and their voices are heard loud and clear,”

NOM of course was referring to the ousting of Scozzafava, a Republican lawmaker ostracized by conservatives for supporting marriage equality to which NOM credits Scozzafava’s failure of obtaining a New York Congressional seat last Novemeber.

Sounds more like a gay bashing circus than a political rally!

Why Martha Coakley Lost To Scott Brown

Contributed by Lyndon Evans:

Wednesday afternoon I decided to take a look and analyze the numbers to see just where Coakley lost the Senate race in Massachusetts to Brown. What I found was surprising and came to a conclusion which Wednesday evening some of the talking heads were discussing. Using a variety of sources, the most importance of which is this interactive map of MA at the Boston Globe. Here’s what I found.

On November 24, 2009, Rasmussen Reports showed Coakley with a 15 point lead over Brown. It was after that in December that Coakley took her now infamous vacation and when Brown started his traveling in the truck campaign getting out and meeting and greeting the good folks in MA. What any good professional politician would do. I’ll leave you folks to make the comparison of good versus poor politician of Brown vs Coakley. I really don’t think I need to state the obvious.

By January 12 the percentages had changed in nightmare proportions for Coakley who then led Brown by the slim lead of 49% to 47%, again as Rasmussen Reports indicated. What was brewing for the Republicans was a perfect storm. A lackluster campaign and as I wrote in Wednesday’s commentary, the entitlement of winning Senator Ted Kennedy’s seat by Coakley.

The western part of MA went for Coakley until you start getting over to Otis. From there east to the greater Boston area the state goes to Brown. Here and there are the odd pocket of a town or two not falling in line with their counterparts for either Coakley or Brown.

But what I found most striking is the “Kennedy Kingdom” of Cape Cod.

Martha’s Vineyard went for Coakley. Chilmark 71% to 27%, West Tisbury 74% to 25% and Edgartown 56% to 43%. Nantucket also went to Coakley albeit with a tighter margin of 51% to 48%.

Now to the Cape itself where Provincetown handily gave the election to Coakley 84% to 15%, Truro 63% to 37%, Wellfleet 63% to 35% and Eastham 51% to 48%.

After that is where the Kingdom falls.

The rest of Cape Cod went to Brown. Even the “hometown” of the Kennedy’s, Barnstable went 61% for Brown and only 38% for Coakley.

To be honest when I first saw the map and started looking at the numbers for each town I sat in disbelief. The majority of the Kingdom of The Kennedys had voted Republican.

According to WHDH-TV in Boston there were 4 million registered voters in Massachusetts for Tuesday’s election.

Just over 2.2 million voted or 54%. In the 2008 election in which President Obama won, voter turnout in the Bay State was 66%. In this election 1,168,107 or 52% voted for Brown, 1,058,682 or 47% voted for Coakley and 22,237 or 1% voted for Independent candidate Joseph L. Kennedy who you know is no relation to the Kennedy’s.

The Boston Globe put up an interesting series of graphs which show the following.

Towns with more Republicans saw higher turnout. Towns with more Democrats saw lower turnout.

Towns with more Independents voted for Brown while towns with less Independents voted for Coakley.

So there are the numbers. The pundits on the Republican side claim victory by everything from folks already tired of big government and spending (guess they already forgot about Bush) to the honeymoon is over and we are taking back what was ours, to the weather, which really didn’t play a factor.

Brown won doing what politicians should do and Coakley loss by running a textbook example of how not to run a political campaign. And the Democrats who didn’t bother to vote are also to blame.

And there boys and girls you have The Perfect Storm. Good and bad politics and voter apathy.

Think about that the next time you say to yourself “why should I bother to vote ?”

Republican Picks Openly Gay Running Mate

Massachusetts Republican gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Baker, the Republican gubernatorial hopeful in Massachusetts has picked State Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei, an openly gay politician as his running mate.

The announced was made on Baker’s campaign website.

“Richard has years of experience fighting for the taxpayer on Beacon Hill and I’m thrilled to have him on the team.”

When Tisei was asked about his sexuality, he stated:

“It is not exactly a news flash. I don’t think people really care these days.”

Tisei has a record of standing for LGBT equality as he fought for marriage equality in Massachusetts and supported a state challenge to the federal Defense Of Marriage Act.

Unfortunately, I don’t think he understands the platform of the Republican party. When he states, “I don’t think people really care these days”, it makes me wonder if he’s actually watched the news lately? Do we have another Sarah Palin who reads “all the papers”?

Homophobia Mars Alderman Election in Annapolis

He is a white man running in a heavily-populated African-American ward that covers the southwest corner of Annapolis and includes the neighborhoods of Parole, Homewood, Southwoods, Greenbriar, Annapolis Gardens, Bowman Court and Fairfax.

He is a Republican in a ward that has an 8 to 1 Democratic edge.

And he is openly gay.

Despite these daunting challenges, things were looking bright for Bowling heading towards the election. He waged an issues-oriented campaign as much against the status quo as he did against incumbent Democrat Classie Gillis Hoyle.
