Why Would Any Gay Person Support John McCain?

Maybe the bloggers at gaypatriot. net have a feasible answer:

"Many gay men and lesbians support this courageous veteran because we know he is sound on the most important issue of the day, the war against Islamofascism.

Indeed, we realize that that issue is particularly important to gay people, given the strong anti-gay bias of Muslim extremists and the continual persecution and execution of gay people in Islamic theocracies, like Iran."



Jamie Kirchick, editor of New Republic, also offers a possible explanation for such a horribly disturbing trend:

"When then–Tempe, Ariz., mayor Neil Giuliano revealed his homosexuality to preempt threats to out him, John was the first to tell the religious right, ‘This doesn’t make a damned bit of difference,’ Giuliano later told The Boston Globe.

A McCain presidency would transform the GOP for the better. Republicans chose a man who is driven by a temperament that inhibits him from resorting to the crass gay baiting of his peers."

We'd all better cancel our supscriptions to The Advocate. After all, they're the ones who published Kirchick's column in their March 20, 2008 issue. Don't just take my word for it, see for yourself:
