i don't know what to say- can't be that many. if they're breaking with the log cabin republicans, does that make them the tinker-toy republicans? not that there's anything wrong with that! http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040922/flw011_1.html -- Press Release Source: Abe Lincoln Black Republican Caucus Black Gay Republicans Break with Log Cabin Republicans, Endorse Bush Wednesday September 22, 9:07 am ET Abe Lincoln Black Republican Caucus Letter of Endorsement Will Be Delivered to the Republican National Committee Headquarters at 11:30 a.m. Today, Wednesday, September 22 DALLAS, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The Abe Lincoln Black Republican Caucus (ALBRC), a group of young urban Black gay Republicans, voted today in a special call meeting in Dallas, Texas, to endorse President Bush for re- election. The ALBRC was co-founded by Don Sneed, a member of the Log Cabin Republicans, to address the political issues and needs of young Black gay Republicans, who he says: "Our voices are never heard, yet we exist and are growing in numbers." The endorsement was fueled by the Log Cabin Republicans' refusal to endorse President Bush. "We think that the 'Republican Tent' is inclusive and there is room for differences, but one does not pick up their marbles and go home if there are a few points of disagreement," stated Anthony Falls, Republican Precinct Chairman -- Dallas and the ALBRC National Spokesperson. "The ALBRC does not support marriage for gays, yet we do support and call for recognition of domestic partnerships," he stated. "Although we are small, have meager resources and are not as widely known as our counterparts in the Log Cabin Republicans, we do exist, we have families and friends who listen to our voting recommendations and we have the capacity to get our message up and out through the worldwide webcasting of our community television show: the 'ALBRC Community Informer,'" stated Don Sneed, who is also a member of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (a Bush Appointee). "With this election as close as it is, especially in the battleground states, any movement of the Black vote towards President Bush, could make a significant difference," stated Sneed. "We are determined to use whatever resources we have to get the word out, especially to Black voters of why a vote for Bush is a vote for economic, social and political self- upliftment." The "ALBRC LETTER OF ENDORSEMENT" will be delivered to the Republican National Committee Headquarters at 11:30 a.m. today, Wednesday, September 22 by Mr. Sneed, who is also an AIDS Community Activist in attendance at the "Breakfast of Champions" being sponsored by AIDS ACTION of Washington DC.

God, this thread is going to get ugly fast. There are a million jokes I could throw in here.....but at the risk of offending many, I'll pass.
since when has that stopped you before? Wow a Bush appointee chooses to back Bush's re-election. Shocking!
whats really interesting is that EVIL BUSH=HITLER (you didnt say it but others did) appointed a Black Gay man to a governmental position
Welcome aboard my black gay brothers! i am happy. Republicanism is different from Religious rightism. I would think that any small business owner would be a Republican regardless of their sexual orientation or color.
btw - every black gay dude I have ever known has been cool as ice. I've only known five though. Lamar Latrell...Kerry guy or Bush guy?
Is this GBM? Uh, yeah, I read in the personals that you were seeking a soulmate. Well, I also like rainy days and movies! Uh-huh... Uh, no, I don't like that... Or that... No, it's not that I'm afraid. I'm going to hang up now, bye-bye.
About 6 million people voted in Florida in 2000. About 15 percent were African-American. 6 million * 0.15 = 900,000 About 10 percent of those black voters voted for President Bush. 900,000 * 0.10 = 90,000 About, say, 1 percent of those black Republican voters were gay (gay rights groups would use a higher number.) 90,000 * 0.01 = 900 Those 900 black gay Republican votes in Florida handed Bush the presidency. If it weren’t for black gay Republicans, Al Gore might be sane today.
As someone who once had the unfortunate job of working for a personals ad company that supporters of George W Bush shouldn't refer to him as "GWB" because that could mean. Gay White Bottom On the same subject those of y'all in the building professions also know that "GWB" also means Gypsum Wall Board the technical name for drywall and sheetrock.
