No. 2 political director for RNC is gay

Would someone explain something to me? I don't understand how someone could work for the Republican National Convention, be gay, and be ok with what is going on.

It turns out that Daniel Gurley, the National Field Director and deputy political director for the Republican National Committee is gay. He says, “I have no comment to make about anything. I have no comment about my work, or what I do. I, like anyone else, have policy disagreements with any number of elected officials. I don’t expect to agree with everything that everybody says.”

That's just not going to cut it Mr. Gurley. Today, in the United States of America, people are still losing their jobs for being gay. In 36 states it is still within the law to fire someone from their job because they are gay. Think about that. Your Republican Party is against ending this kind of discrimination all the way.

The gay and lesbian community is still not protected against hate crimes in this country. Your Republican Party is against passing laws that will make it a crime to target people for a crime specifically because of their sexual orientation.

I won't start on gay marriage. The Republican Party has little real interested in preserving marriage. Marriage has become a country club of who gets in and who doesn't, or, more precisely, who will gain the massive umbrella of benefits that come from civil marriage.

The platform includes a bolded section titled, “Ensuring Equal Opportunities.” The section leads with the sentence, “Our nation is a land of opportunity for all, and our communities must represent the idea of equality for every citizen.”

This doesn’t, apparently, include gay Americans.

“We believe that neither federal nor state judges nor bureaucrats should force states to recognize other living arrangements as equivalent to marriage.”

“After more than two centuries of American jurisprudence , and millenia of human experience, a few judges and local authorities are presuming to change the most fundamental institution of civilization, the union of a man and a woman in marriage.” (source)
