The Republican Party is not monolithic. Consider the Log Cabin Republicans versus the Religious Right.
The log cabin republicans are the party that constantly gets rejected by the rest of the republican party. They get booed, rejected from conventions, their talking points ignored and homophobic policies are always embraced over them. Seems like every couple of months I read another story about the log cabin republicans saying they can't support such-and-such popular republican politician or that their leaders are supporting the democratic candidate.
Yeah, sure, some gays will still support republicans. Uncle Ruckus supported the confederacy, too. Doesn't change the fact that the mainstream branch of the party harshly rejects them.
