As distasteful and kapo-ish as a donation to McCain is – did I actually read what I read? Someone got fired for a political donation?

The laws are such that someone CAN be fired for sexual orientation – let’s change those – but I think it’s pretty clearly established that you CAN’T fire someone for his politics.

Rather than void the check Crutchley should forward it to the California campaign to defeat proposition 8.

I would hardly call Manhunt a “dating site.” In fact, it’s something that our community should be embarrassed to be connected with. It (apparently) encourages meaningless hookups and reckless activities.

A politician accepting money from such a site is tantamount to political suicide. How long ya’ll think your golden boy would keep a donation from a sex site?

Pete: and that is how I could hold some respect for Log Cabiners and other gays who support the GOP. Otherwise in my book, they’re just Jews for Hitler. Cause let’s not kid ourselves, if the extremist in control of the GOP got their way, that’s what would happen to us.

This is hysterical! The right wingers do not want you Mr Crutchley, will you ever understand this? They hate us all!

Typical; gay Quisling gives to Right Wing candidate; donation becomes public; Quisling is abandoned by his friends and then dissed by the RWer he donated to. When will these people ever learn?

With all due consideration, respect is earned – not automatically given. I do not have respect for any GLBT person who, knowingly, lets their money be used to, undermine GLBT rites (directly or indirectly). I also don’t know that these kinds of sites are “nothing but trouble” – as with so many things in the modern computer era, it can be either a good or bad experience depending on what you put into it and take out of it. As someone once said, “gays that support the Republican Party are like chickens that support Frank Perdue”.

We all have to be respectful of our gay brothers and sisters who choose to be Republican, but when you make a donation like that so public, you know you are going to get yourself into trouble. Regardless of the origins of the ‘Scamhunt’ stories from Out Magazine. That site is nothing but trouble for the gay community. What efforts are they making to educate the community at all with their site?

Its not so hard to understand people like Crutchley and Log Cabin republicans. The French had the same issue with the Vichy government in WW2. They are called collaborators.
