"The thing I'm still puzzling about though is this...why would advocates of GLBT human rights affiliate with the Republican Party?? Scott Lowery"
Your question is ambiguous, Scott. Do you mean that you've been surprised to find so many Republicans advocates of GLBT, or do you mean you are looking for arguments to convince Republicans to advocate GLBT, or what?
If it's the first, I'd say that Republicans have historically (though perhaps this is not so strong as it used to be) been very pro civil rights and privacy issues. If it's the second, I'd use the same argument I'd use for anyone: Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transexuals are human beings like anyone else and, hence, as entitled as anyone to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If it's "or what," I don't know what to say.
