What about the whole premise that minority = poor person wanting government handouts? Maybe that is part of the problem? Is the reason 90%+ of blacks vote for Dems because they are all getting 'goodies'?

None of the middle class Asians, Hispanics or African Americans I know "get handouts" or support Republicans.

Perhaps suggesting that all minorities are poor and looking for a handout is part of the Republican outreach problem?

Even worse, they transfer that narrative to any group that don't vote for them. Unmarried women (including white women) want "free contraception" (and are therefore sluts). Gays who want to get married or protection from discrimination are "demanding special rights".

One person (Rush Limbaugh) said Sandra Fluke was a slut.
I could have sworn that the amendment to allow any employer (not just religious institution) to deny their employees birth control was called the "Blunt Amendment" and not the Limbaugh Amendment...and every Republican senator (except Olympia Snowe) voted for it.

Firstly, the debate about contraception was the ACA requirement that it be covered by private insurance, not paid for by taxes.  But you are paying for penis pumps and Viagra through Medicare, I'm sure you are OK with that right?

So what. The government isn't a tool of religious morality and accusing the gays of wanted to be treated 'special' when what they are actually asking for is equality is what is really immoral.

It's not just the Blunt Amendment, the House GOP last year also tried to carve contraception requirement out of the ACA and even made it part of their pre-shutdown list of demands. And let's not forget what Mike Huckabee had to say about it....
"If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it.”
Which gets back to the point. The GOP have to stop treating everyone who isnt a strait Christian middle/upper-class white male as someone looking for a handout.
