Sad as it was, I hope the NRA hate-fest was a wakeup call to those like Tom Boyer of the Pink Pistols (who did walk out of the meeting) who have genuine crossover issues. It is okay to be gay and want tax cuts. It is okay to be gay and be against gun control. It is okay to be gay and think that the "gay left agenda of idenity politics" (whatever that is) is ultimately self-defeating. However, option two - the Republican Party and its money laundering operations like the NRA are not inclusive. The Party has been eaten from within by the cancer of bigotry and it is difficult to understand how that can possibly be trumped by other genuine policy concerns.
How about Gay Rights and a bit of tolerance first, tax cuts later...
