4. They better get on board with the new Republican Party

Gay Republicans seem to be stuck in the era of Reagan when there was at least a veneer of tolerance and deviation within the party. Now in the 21st century, they're cloning Republicans like assembly line moldings that are subject to a final Tea Party inspection for stringent conformity.

The Democrats continue to accept members who have diverse views on everything except perhaps labor. It frustrates many here sometimes, but Democratic pols can have an opposing position on everything from gun control to abortion and still hold office with full support of the DNC and voters. Democrats seeking office are not required to be black or white, gay or straight, Christian or Muslim.
