After reading the following sentence at
Talking Points Memo, I had an insight about why a male homosexual Republican might be in favor of the Republicans attacking homosexuals.
The Justice Department is "looking into allegations" relating to a rafting trip that Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) took with two Congressional pages in 1996.--Paul Kiel
Would a straight Congressman get away with going on a camping trip with two female pages?
Somehow, I don't think so.
But in a party where homosexuality is considered perverse, a gay Congressman can go on a trip with two pages because no one dares speak of the homosexuality of a Republican Congressman.
So gay Republicans who lust for sex with pages and other teenagers in the consent gray zone actually derive a benefit from anti-gay hysteria. They can indulge their sexual desires while protected by a wall of denial and gay-baiting.
