They're not gay-hating social conservative (i.e. conservation of traditional morality and social structures) Republicans, though, are they? In this day and age?
I would think that in Merv's time there was a lot of self-denial, and self-hatred, but I think society in general is more liberal now in its tolerance of alternative lifestyles than it was in Merv's time.
I would think gay conservative Republicans of today would be more along the lines of economic, and political--such as foreign policy, and nationalism--conservatives than they would be social conservatives.
