Breeding, perhaps?

[Hatman 🍁]

Ha. It's possible that Romney won the straight vote. Thank God for the gays!

I'm always sort of surprised there are a larger percentage of gay republicans than gay blacks, when much of the GOP is rather explicitly anti-gay.

[Mehmentum]

Just think about it, if the GOP supported gay marriage, we would probably have a Republican president right now. 

[Marokai Backbeat]

You're welcome!

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Man, if only the GOP hadn't built its party on crapping on Blacks Muslims Latinos immigrants science the environment the lower class gays.

[BaldEagle1991]

Rick Santorum can shut up.

[memphis]

The OP doesn't count the millions of closeted Republicans who voted for Romney.

[Vosem]

You're welcome!

Inks off.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Don't be such a homophobe, Vosem.

[Vosem]

Don't be such a homophobe, Vosem.

I support gay marriage...haven't we been over this?

[Eraserhead]

22% of openly gay people still voted for Romney? Weird.

Obama didn't make same-sex issues a big enough deal in the fall campaign, imo. Every gay republican I've met has been self loathing and unwilling to commit. I'm not saying that's connected to how righteously they fly in the face of their own self interest...well, I guess I am saying that. Good at sex tho

[Holmes]

Ha. It's possible that Romney won the straight vote. Thank God for the gays!

Ha. Yeah. My boyfriend and I had a laugh about that.

The conservative catholic politician told CNN this morning that something about the official numbers "just didn't add up" and was forced to draw the only obvious conclusion:

"I see the hand of the homosexual in this massive election fraud," Santorum explained, "Romney was tied or leading in most polls before the election. And then he loses?... Homosexual dirty tricks. It's is the only explanation that makes sense."

Rocket Men

Santorum said he wasn't sure how gay activists managed to steal a national election, but he's confident they are capable of such a feat:

"Homosexuals aren't like you and me. They don't have respect for democracy. Your average homosexual has no moral compass whatsoever. If anyone is capable of this fraud, its them."

"And homosexual kingpins like David Geffen, Elton John, and Tim Gill have all the money in the world to turn their dirty, filthy election schemes into reality. Geffen's a billionaire, he could afford to put a man on the moon. Surely he could afford to pull off something like this."

"It could have been a virus in the election machines. Gill knows a lot about computers. Or maybe they were just stuffing multiple big, long ballots deep inside each other's ballot-boxes Who knows? But I know gays had the motive and means to steal this one for Obama."


OMG! I litterally just squirted an ounce of urine and choked on my beer reading this.

Someone please tell me this is actually an Onion article.

[Tayya]

Yes, the Daily Currant is a satire site, thank God.

Whew! I thought that last line about stuffing each others ballot boxes was too much even for Mr. man-on-dog.

Is this a The Onion joke?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Without blacks, latinos, women, young people and gays, America would be such a horrible country...
