Funny, on a lot of issues gays would seem to see eye-to-eye with the GOP: as most of them are not raising children, they have more time to devote to their careers, more disposable income and fewer tax deductions and deferrals, as theya re not buying houses in residential suburbs with good schools.

They seem like people who would be interested in a low-tax, smaller-government environment

But the modern GOP has made it clear that it is more than just low taxes and small government, it is about a particular approach to its interpretation of Christian morality onto the legal and administrative system of this nation.

And gays are not part of that picture, as are non-Christians, and even those Christians whose beliefs do not fit into the narrow-minded views held by the GOP leadership.
