I think you're correct that you're not getting into the overall premise. But, it makes me wonder what your point is in lobbing that little factoid in there?

So, I'd respond to what you seem to be implying by pointing out that Sheriff David Clarke also exists. So do anti-immigration immigrants. There's also a phenomenon called Stockholm Syndrome.

Doesn't really prove anything except that counterintuitive ironies exist and that people don't always act in their own best interest and/or they make tradeoffs. It's actually rational to not be a one-issue voter, especially in a two-party system.

In short, a gay person being a member of a party doesn't make that party pro-gay rights.

So far in my life I've seen quite a few extremely anti-LGBT republicans end up getting caught with their pants down with another man (or young boy).

To be fair, these days we're seeing a lot of left wing feminist men like Weinstein caught up in basically the same kind of hypocrisy.

Yeah, usually the people who the loudest at preaching something are themselves going against it.
