Riiiight. Hey, I'm not from the US, so if there's something I've missed feel free to let me know what it is, but look: at least since Ronald Reagan, the Republican Party has housed people who despise gay people and non-WASPs, people who actively vote against women's rights, against gay rights, against measures to help the poor and every other marginalised group in society.
No, not all Republicans are Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh or evil incarnate. BUT, they *are* people who've looked at the racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, classist policies of this party and decided that this was the political movement for them. Even if they don't agree with ALL that the GOP does - I accept that plenty of GOPers don't - the fact that they are prepared to ally themselves with such a party tells me all I need to know about them, frankly.
