Let's pretend you're a screenwriter assigned to develop a character to run for Congress in California in 2014. You need a compelling story, so you make him an orphan at 13 – wait, even better his dad leaves the family two weeks before his mother died – and then social services splits up his brothers and sisters leaving him alone in the world.

Despite those challenges he perseveres, putting himself through a top-tier college and then building and selling two multimillion-dollar companies.

Thus financially secure, he decides to dedicate himself to public service and runs for City Council.

In his first term he works across party lines and four years after his first election he passes major pension reform that saves the city money and protects the retirement savings of thousand of people.

For good measure, you make him openly gay and in a committed relationship, the first to feature his partner in campaign literature. He’s the perfect candidate to send to Washington, D.C. and, of course, he’s a Democrat, right?

Wrong. The real story proves that truth is stranger and sometimes better than fiction. Your character already exists in Carl DeMaio of San Diego – except that he’s not a Democrat, he’s a (gasp!) Republican.

This article is so painfully ignorant. It is just a long rant about someone who can't fathom the idea that someone's sexual orientation isn't their sole defining characteristic.

You mean in society "Republican" and "Gay" are considered like "Oil" and "Water" just can't mix.. despite the fact the Republican party is the party of emancipation, freed the slaves.

Diverse opinions among LGBTQers are not permitted. Democrats want them to stay on the plantation, and serve the master.

Actually, the situation in the article is a pretty good example of how there are diverse opinions within the LGBT community. The author just seems flabbergasted by that fact. "He's gay, and he's gay. Why are they not on the same team? Gay people are all the same, right? They are all gay and somehow not the same? I don't get it!"

Lol, you really want to bring this discussion out of that other thread?

If they want to voluntarily do that completely separate from any requirement to get into law school, good for them. The issue isn't with students wanting to sign the form or not, it is the fact that the school wants to make it a requirement in order to get into a highly competitive professional program. The school is restricting the choices of prospective law students.

If they want to be lawyers, lying on a form to get into law school is not a good start. See the "good character requirement" for becoming a licensed lawyer.

Gay folks should be spread out along the entire ideological spectrum. When that happens we will know real progress has been made.

They should... but they will be chastised for having a differing opinion not in line with how the White Liberal Democrat Elite says they should act.

People from all ends of the political spectrum chastise people from all other parts of the political spectrum for not agreeing with them. Why do people expect that to be any different among gay people?

Are they supposed to all support each other politically just because they are all gay?

Who says they are not? There are lots of gay people who have right wing political views on many subjects. It is just unfortunate that so many people on the right wing fight to restrict the rights of gay people as well. It certainly can be harder for gay people to find a spot on the right that fits their other beliefs without supporting people who attack their own individual rights.

Lol, those crazy liberals over at Fox News have done it again!

Really, what is the point of this article other than to point out that not all gay people support all gay politicians?

Hockey... what about hockey and stuff?
