1. I am not a "Republican."
2. To the best of my limited knowledge, neither is she. (I could be wrong.)
3. My position on "sexual orientation" has been posted for years.

Meanwhile, as usual, some people miss the point of her commentary. :shrug:
1. If you typically vote Republican, you are a Republican regardless of what you call yourself.
2. Your personal position on sexual orientation is irrelevant if you typically vote for, and thus empower, a party that has fought to treat gays and lesbians as second class citizens at best, and would return them to that status if they had their wife. It would be like in 1949 saying "I personally support civil rights.", but voting for segregationists.
3. Her argument is as dumb as the lunatics on the extreme "SJW" "woke" crowd she is bitching about. How many gay and lesbian friends do you have? We have several, and I work with several more. They are all Democratic voters, none of them do anything like what she is painting them all with. She is talking about the extreme 2 or 3% or so of the LGBT community, and painting the other 97% as though they are one monolithic block. It would be like me basing my opinion of the whole of Christianity, off of the Fred Phelps bunch.
So her problem is not really with the left. In fact, the reason why she can marry who she wants, is due to social liberals. If she every wants to adopt, she will be able to do so because of social liberals. The fact that gays and lesbians are no longer imprisoned simply for their sexual orientation, is due to social liberals. The fact that her being a lesbian is no longer classified as mental disorder, is due to social liberals. The fact that sodomy laws were struck down as unconstitutional, is due to social liberals.
Her problem is that she obviously has chosen in the past to associate herself with the most lunatic fringe of the far left, and then when she realized how crazy they are, she blamed liberals in general - obviously forgetting that if it were not for liberals, she would be a second class citizen forced to live her life in the closet.
I know a woman that lives in our neighborhood that is bisexual, has kids that she "unschools", and takes on every extreme "SJW" cause she can conceive of. She is a lunatic. So I don't have anything to do with her, but I don't paint every social liberal out there as being just like her because they aren't.
