Provisional Membership

[T]he GOP seems to find the existence of gay people, at least gay Republicans, an especially inconvenient truth.

This op-ed got me thinking. The Republican Party and the Catholic Church have a similar attitude toward gays: We're happy to have you ... as long as you embrace our positions wholeheartedly while working directly against your self-interest, or at least turning a blind eye. Don't even think about having sex, or raising the topic, because we can tolerate you only if we think of you as eunuchs. And no complaints -- you're lucky we opened the door at all.
