Why Not Just Go With It?

There seem to be so many Republican "scandals" about somebody being caught in a homosexual relationship (or simple act), that I think the GOP ought just to go ahead and declare its gayness outright. Grand Old Pansies. Grand Old Peterpuffers. I don't know. Whatever. I'm all for letting people have whatever sexual preference they have and leave them in peace about it, with the exception of those whose preference is for children or sex by force. But the hypocritical stance of Republican officialdom is just setting them back.

The President of the National Young Republicans, under allegations of sexually harassing another man, has resigned from his post.

An older complaint, from 1988 alleged that Glenn Murphy, whose term at the helm of the group began last month, "had the blankets pulled up over the waist of [redacted] and was committing oral sex on him when he awoke."

Murphy sent an email to friends saying he was resigning from the post he has held for a month for business reasons.

Okay, boys. I don't think "sexual harassment" aptly describes what went on here. If it wasn't agreeable to the previously-sleeping party, that sounds like rape to me. But apparently the accosted man didn't feel it was that serious. Sexual harassment. Sheesh.

Murphy resigned for business reasons all right. No lie there.

Let's just not say that Republicans are anti-gay, when so many of them actually seem to be gay. They are simply anti-gay-rights.

Why do they hate themselves?

Flippancy aside. This is really a sad state of affairs, because it would seem that they do indeed have very low self-esteem and/or fear of being caught. Which, you might think, would inspire them, in their positions of political power, to push for equal rights, openness and liberty and justice for gays.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
