I actually don't agree with you on this. There's not necessarily a contradiction in a gay person supporting the Republican party (or being a member). Just because you think homosexual behavior is OK doesn't mean you want to legalize gay marriage. I've known several middle aged lesbians who were staunch Republicans. It wasn't even that other issues like national security trumped gay rights - they just didn't support gay marriage or gays in the military.
