Pl the Republin Party simply mt grow out of this reflexive disda for “gays.

”Like every other group there are people of character who are gay and there are v whack jobs who are are very thoughtful and moral people who are gay and people who are pletely hedonistic and ivolo too.

It’s one reason the rabid gay left hated him and wanted to stroy him- they uldn’t have a GOP Print who wouldn’t play that anti-gay rd.
