What is important here, I believe, is individual rights and freedom. Most republicans, dare I generalize, judge people as individuals based on the persons character and actions. Thus, it is possible to be homosexual, struggling with your sexuality, hetero, struggling with your sexuality, promiscuous from either modality, and a vast array in between. We are all sinners. I think republicans would tend to look at the individual and his actions to base friendships, hiring decisions, associations, etc.
It therefore, becomes very possible to be heterosexual and have a gay friend, associate, or coworker. It is not hypocritical to be against gay marriage and yet to hire a qualified gay. It is also possible for someone to be gay, and not support gay marriage, or equal rights for gays, or whatever.
The liberal on the other hand, openly admits that he cares nothing about your character or your individual uniqueness in the eyes of god. The liberal says, " I'll hire you because you're black, or because you're a woman, or because you're gay, not because you are qualified. That is the real hypocrisy. The VP has a gay daughter, the libs expect him to either renounce his daughter as a wicked aberration, or become liberal and renounce conservatism. The VP has to do neither. He loves his daughter, its just that simple.
Sexuality, like many human emotions, are fleeting transitory manifestations of the human condition. As such, they are personal and not easily nourished in public forums. Much of our sexuality is highly personal, and should be nobody's business but ours. In this tell all society, it seems everyone has to know everything.......that is absurd. I don't want to know who your are dating, having sex with, or what kind of sex you are having. Its simply not important to my life, and none of my business.
This business of "outing", is liberal nonsense. It really stands for a commitment to a liberal sexual agenda, that espouses, free sexual expression for anyone anytime, anywhere. A homosexual must be out of the "closet" so that person can join the collective voice of free, godless, sexual expression with the rest of the libs. So they can walk around bragging that, some of my best friends are, gay, black, hispanic, muslim, etc.. This makes them feel good about themselves and the whole world. But that world is divorced from reality.
