Bear with me, I'm Australian. I have a limited knowledge of American politics, mostly gleaned via the pages of my weekly Time magazine subscription. I thought I had a cursory understanding of the subject - who were the good guys and who were the baddies - until I came across the Log Cabin Republicans, an organisation of gay and lesbian Republicans. The term "Gay Republican" sounded somewhat oxymoronic to me. I wondered why a gay person would willingly choose to align him/herself with a rightist party, stacked to the gunnels with sexist bigots and religious zealots. To each his own, I guess.
