“If you pulled the lever for John McCain in 2008, then passing hate-crimes legislation or ENDA [Employment Non-Discrimination Act] is probably not your priority. Most issues that are defined as ‘gay’ issues have been defined by the left. We take a different approach.’
Jimmy LaSalvia, executive director of GOProud, a newly launched group for gay Americans who are politically conservative. (WSJ)
