Correct. I think a good number of Republicans echo the same sentiment.
Yes, same here. In the Silicon Valley, in the midst of the Bay Area and just south of San Francisco, you run into a lot of gay people. Some I couldn't give a darn about, and some that are good friends. There's one guy who I'm pretty sure is and is closeted, and (if that's the case) I wish he came out. (Uh, but without a "flourish", if you know what I mean.)
Some gays are very very messed up people, but some aren't. Just like the rest of us, only more so.
