They confuse me too much for me to think of them as problematic, the same way I feel about the Log Cabin Republicans. Also, you forgot Herman Cain.
All I can assume is that they are either deluded or they hold other Republican issues in high enough regard that they consider the baggage worthwhile. If you're not a wealthy white Christian male, voting Republican demands a sacrifice of your self-interest in one way or another.
