It's the platform, stupid

Right now, it wouldn't matter if Reagan came back from the dead. There are two very basic, fundamental reasons why, while I'm not a member of the Democratic Party, I can not, and will not vote Republican at any level, for the foreseeable future:

I have family members who fall under the LGBT umbrella

I'm not an atheist, but do completely reject all forms of organized religion, and I have many in my family with similar beliefs or who are atheists.

The GOP has made it abundantly clear that no one falling under those two headings should have full rights under the law, and in the case of the first, has worked overtime to deny them every legal right they can get away with.

I have, because it was at work, (Not my current job, thank $DEITY$) had to harshly bite my tongue at coworkers talking about what "should be done with the fags" in terms that would have given Hitler a no-hands orgasm.

The Republican Party wishes to exclude me and mine, they get their wish. Including my vote and my campaign contributions. Should they change their platform on such things, I'll give them serious consideration. But as long as they feel the need to demonize my family, they can go fuck themselves on the bridge to nowhere with Palin's moose gun.
