Apparently, there's not very many of us.

I am gonna preemptively say that I (and probably others of you) can take or leave certain republicans and certain republican ideals.
With that being said, I am a conservative Christian (Baptist) republican 'southern gentleman' type person...I just happen to be bi.

In the past I would have considered my Republican. I still agree with them more often that I agree with the Democrats. However, I have come to the conclusion that neither party has my interest at heart.
Too often I find myself needing to be against the worst candidate than being for the best.

Libertarian here. I am not a liberal. Oh no sir. So you can call me a Republican.
I believe in Adam Smith and not Karl Marx.

Yep, total Republican here. Nope, it's not popular in the gay scene...but I've always said that life isn't a popularity contest, so I really don't give a sh-t what people think. My minor is in Pol Sci and I've been pretty vocal throughout my college career about things (Honor's classes require a lot of dialogue). Gay guys start up the Republican (and especially Bush) bashing but when I bring up 101 other political issues it usually shuts them up. Issues like defense, national security, wellfare reform, and abortion are all extremely important to me. I am very conservative as well, my first time through college was Bible college. I think gays should be able to serve in the military and am not supportive of current policies. I don't support gay marraige simply because I believe it's an institution designed by God and therefore we can't just change what it means... HOWEVER... I DO support the creation of civil unions that would have the same weight in all matters legal and otherwise. In my view, "marraige" was a vehicle for reproduction.

Re: Are there any other bisexual Republicans out t
I'm a liberal Democrat and am about as liberal as you'll get. I feel Democrats are more for the people rather than the corporations and the wealthy. I have a question for the Republican bisexuals here. Why do you support a party who hates us? I mean a majority of Republicans don't believe we are equals or should marry and think we live immoral lifestyles. I am a bisexual who has a girlfriend who has the luxury of having a choice to marry her. However, a couple years ago I was with a man and I would not have that choice if we were still together. I as a bisexual feel guilty about the fact that there are two sets of rules for us as human beings. Don't even get me started on the Log Cabin Republicans.
I don't want this to blow up or even get heated, but since the question was asked I am curious.

Re: Are there any other bisexual Republicans out t
Well again, I don't want this to become a debate. I don't think this is the place and its way too easy for things to get heated. Clinton did alot and I think Hillary would do more . I didn't mean to offend you with the party who hates remark, but I do stand by it 100% and I feel most here would agree. Huckabee wanted to isolate anyone who had HIV back in the early 90's and when asked a month ago more or less stood by his remarks. A majority of Republicans feel as he does that gays are going to hell, all because the bible tells us so. I also strongly disagree with Democrats being anti gay. In my opinion thats simply not true. What are these gay Republicans in the party trying to change? Are they against gay marriage? Why are there so many closeted gay republicans? If we had equal rights for all perhaps society would be more accepting of us. Its these self loathing gay conservatives who talk out of one side of their mouth about how immoral gays are and then go to bathroom stalls or internet chat rooms and live a double life in shame who are teaching people our lifestyle is wrong.
I lean liberal because I feel EVERYONE has the same rights. I feel gays are just as important than heterosexuals. Republicans are trying to amend the constitution. I believe "We The People" mean all of us. Not just "We the Heterosexual People". Republicans believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I feel two people who love each other should be married and I don't believe 2 men who are married is gonna ruin marriage as we know it. I love my gay,lesbian,transgender, and bisexual brothers and sisters and feel more at home in their community than any other. With your beliefs, how do you feel GLBT people feel? I know there are gay conservatives, its just always been difficult for me to see their view. I'm not trying to offend. I am sincere when I ask.
I agree with you. This country is divided but I believe its George Bush who has polarized this country and the way the world looks at us and no one else.

Re: Are there any other bisexual Republicans out t
This is why I never post in the political forum. I think it really should have been directed there in the first place. I am glad we have managed to be civil and not really turn this into a heated political firestorm.
You may feel my Bush comment is divisive, but I feel its 100% accurate. He had a chance to unite this country on 911 and did not do so. Prior to 911, even during the Clinton years, this country was not as polarized as it is now. We have managed to show the world we are arrogant and bully's. The war in Iraq has not helped. It only divided us more. So, I have to say Bush is responsible for alot of this bitterness.
I'm not lumping all republicans into the same basket, but the responses have been from those who claim to be 'proud Republicans.' Perhaps they are not. Maybe they are Democrats who are very conservative. How am I lumping all as the same? Do you all not believe in the principals of the Republican party? If you don't believe in the same core values, then perhaps your in the wrong party. Perhaps your independents who lean to the right. By saying your proud to be a Republican your saying I am totally cool being associated with a party that discriminates against by sexual orientation. I'm okay with a party who feels I should not be allowed to marry or share the benefits of a married couple. How am I lumping all into the same basket?
With all due respect the log cabin republicans are a joke to the gay community. What have they accomplished? What republican is openly fighting for gay rights? You say Democrats are just as anti gay but I see Hillary Clinton proudly marching in Gay pride parades recognizing gays and fighting for their rights. I see Democrats fighting for hate crime bills and protection against gays. We have openly gay Democrats serving and fighting for gay rights. Gavin Newsom, the straight Democratic Mayor of San Francisco allowed gays to marry briefly. Thats just one example of how Democrats are fighting for gay rights everywhere. I'm prouder than proud to be in such a party.That story I shared about the lesbian couple. How would a typical Republican respond to that story? What are the log cabin republicans doing to help gays?
So, I ask the same question again. When I have it answered I'll stop posting because I want others to chime in and I don't want to be accused of starting a flame war. My question is how can anyone support a group who wants everyone on this board to live in the closet and have no rights? I noticed most who are Republicans are bisexual which I find interesting. The Republicans I know who are gay are all in the closet, out to only a few. No family and especially no one at their work place knows. I don't believe anyone should be outed but at the same time am disappointed at the gay conservatives I know who have no problem living their lives in secret in fear what others will think of them. I also think alot of the gays I know who are conservative vote with their wallets.. It is truly amazing how many people are willing to vote against their own self interests! I am always stunned by the number of republican campaign signs in yards of working class citizens. Why do so many support a party that clearly isn't looking out for their best interests????
I believe Republicans don't help the middle class, or the poor. OR gays and lesbians, OR the vast majority of people in our country. Thats why I think McCaine is doing so well. A majority of the people are jut sick of the GOP. Their abuse of power, the scandals,the way the world see's us, Bush, and the war in Iraq are just some of the reasons the GOP is wrong in my opinion. Even if McCaine gets in I think he'll be better than Bush and I think this is also why the Democrats have 2 strong candidates. We are so desperate for change in this country,we began looking at our choices earlier than any other election. The people are just sick of the Bush regime and want change!

Re: Are there any other bisexual Republicans out t
The Dems march, but they're not going to do anything once elected. Obama isn't gonna make gay marriage legal and neither is Hillary. Obama has the black constituency that he HAS to keep and they have been polled to be against gay marriage. Hillary is a politician, through and through. . .you think she's gonna go out on a limb and lose the mushy middle that could go either way? You saw how Bill Clinton wussed out on DADT -- Hillary would do the same.
Romantico, you know I respect you. . .but I refuse to lie to myself and say the Dems have my best interest at heart.
That is why I am skeptical of the Dems. When the rubber meets the road, they are all talk.
And for some, there are more critical interests than sexual politics- - for me, I'm concerned about education (I'm for vouchers and the eventual dismantling of the Department of Education), Government Spending (Both parties are in my doghouse for this), National Security (one party is the party of fear, the other party is "What Terror?"), and Immigration (my parents did NOT wait in line in Kingston for some jackass to skip them w/o following the rules). . .the Dems (as a whole) don't stand with me on this. . .so, while locally, I'll vote Democratic -- we have one nice state rep that's a Conservative Dem -- nationally, my vote is always up for grabs to some asshole every four years.

Re: Are there any other bisexual Republicans out t
DODT was a compromise. We're a step closer. Clinton however did try. A Republican congress got in his way. Hillary or Obama won't make gay marriage legal, I agree. However, the chances are better and other things can be done with them in office.
I feel the Democrats are more on my side with my way of thinking and viewing the world. Not sure exactly what you meant by them not having my best interest at heart. What politician really does? I like Hillary and Obama (I think Hillary is the best choice though) but I'll vote for which ever Democrat wins the nom. I do also like McCaine, so I'm a little more excited about this election. Thanks KismetChild! I respect you and your opinion as well! Wish we had more bi women here. They make things more interesting. PLEASE, post more!

Re: Are there any other bisexual Republicans out t
It's interesting that some keep bringing up "Republicans hate". No, some people, who consider themselves Republicans do hate gays. Some people who consider themselves Democrats also hate gays. I can think of some red neck, blue collor bars filled with steadfast union democrates that you wouldn't want to put a paw in on a Friday night, after payday, if you were openly gay.
I think that marriage is an institution that should be left to the straight or bi folks. Just give the gays a civil union, as stated above, with all the rights of a straight couple. It's really not that complicated. Just hang in there, it will come. Clinton did very little for gays, except give the armed forces "don't ask". Unfortunately, more gays have been booted since that program, then were before. mmmmm... On the other hand, the Republicans, (read Bush and the Republian Congress, have outspent Clinton's efforts 10 to 1 on assisting in Africa to combat AIDS. And, according to what I heard this past week, there is actually some progress, finally.
Personal choice is important to me. Health care? Mandatory? And, as Hillary has said, "There have to be consequences for those who don't enroll." It has been suggested that wages could be garnished, or a very high fine applied if you showed up at a hospital and didn't have coverage. (At least Obama says each should have the choice to enroll, and makes no threats. Thus, the opposition's claim that his plan leaves 15 million out of the plan. Yeah, it's call CHOICE.)
Taxes. Imagine a "significant" tax increase on the country. Man, you think we have an economic slowdown now? A "significant" tax increase, as the Democrats are planning, would put throttle down the economy so fast you'd think 1930 was repeating itself. We're a spend, spend, spend economy, and that makes the economy strong. (I'm personally not of that ilk, by most are..... so, I'm not a big contributor to the economic cycle.)
Armed forces? Democrats have little regard for them. Again, look what Clinton did. He reduced the armed forces dramatically. I don't have the percentage, so don't hold me to this. It may have been more. But I think it was somewhere around a 30% reduction in forces, that had to be rebuilt.
CIA? Democrats do everything they can to throttle their work. mmmm... look at the hold-up in the House of the bill that the Senate passed a couple of weeks ago. No more wiretaps. Nancy wouldn't let it come to a vote. They needed their week's vacation.
So, maybe I'm a Republican. I think for myself.
Sorry to be so windy here.... but I really wanted to add my 2 cents.
