Goodbye to the GLBT movement

NOT LONG AGO, columnist Wayne Besen wrote that gay Republicans have
"no place" in the GLBT movement. Because they support John McCain this
year, he charged, they are "shamefully in cahoots" with anti-gay
forces. He claimed they have a "suicidal tendency" they must overcome.
All that was missing was the tired analogy to Jewish Nazis.
Besen is no kook. He's a widely read gay writer who fits squarely in
the mainstream of the GLBT movement. It's safe to say he was
expressing openly what many people, especially leaders, within the
movement privately think about gay conservatives.
