Why a Romney White House May Not Be Unfriendly to Gays
Earlier this week the Log Cabins Republicans formally endorsed Gov. Mitt Romney's candidacy for president, becoming the second conservative group advocating for gay rights to offer a formal blessing. However, the endorsement may have come with a price according to some insiders who say an agreement was discussed for a gender discrimination bill.
Although the Log Cabin Republicans traditionally support Republican Party principles – especially those involving fiscal matters – they have not offered a blanket endorsement for GOP presidential candidates who have not supported their position for gay rights.
For example, they refused to endorse President Bush in 2004 because his administration was pushing a federal marriage amendment....
The Republicans are not the Christian party, if they are like anything they are like "Christian" "Democratic" parties of Europe. So, they will welcome queers with open arms, if they are electable, and have the economic policy the GOP supports.

The republican establishment will not defend Christian liberty but only political correctness. In this regard "the lesser of two evils" is proven to be evil still. Any laws favorable to *force acceptance* of open homosexuality (which is a behavior not an identity) all violates private property rights (as employer or business owner), free speech, freedom of religion (which includes personal beliefs and practice in society). The government has no business passing laws which condemn and censure Christian liberty to denounce immorality in housing or work environment, which used to be illegal as well. Those who write or influence the new laws hold the power. Constitutional basis of our rights is being attacked from both the Republican Pharisees as much as the Democrat Sadducees, for the New Orthodoxy of Political-Correctness, propped up by the "fear of man which brings a snare".
