President of Duke University's College Republicans Impeached after general population learns that he is gay.
Just another sign that the Republican machine has does a wonderful job convincing its constituents that Republicanism is first and foremost about homogeneity (ironic word choice) and exclusion.
Sometimes I wonder what the Glenn Becks and Rush Limbaughs would have their party look like. Do they realize that once the Republican Party is composed entirely of white, straight, Protestant men, they will have no escape but than to wither and die?
I suppose the lesson they're trying to share is that it is better to be righteous than right.
PS. On another note - I can fully understand LGBT individuals being Republican, but I do not understand their desire to be involved in Republican organizations. I'd parallel to believing in God and choosing to get involved in certain organized religions. It is horrible to say, but what did Robinette expect from College Republicans at Duke? This is conservatism within conservatism.
As one who has traditionally affiliated with the Republican party, I find this repugnant. It is further unfortunate evidence that the Republican party is going the wrong direction. On a personal note, for some reason my status as a Jew never seemed to be counterbalanced by my status as a veteran in actual Republican "organizations." It is a sad state of affairs.
