#1 He said it's a lot harder being conservative than it is to be gay

As a gay guy, I can confirm this in my own life. Back in the late '70's or during the 80's, I would not have agreed, but I have no doubt that it is true now. Many of my old friends from back then are convinced that I am "brainwashed". They'd like to say that I'm stupid too, but they don't tend to do well in debates with me, once I get aggravated. Not that I'm bragging - generally they're smart enough, but most of them have never heard a coherent presentation of conservative ideas, nor have they had many of their premises seriously questioned.

With people I don't know well, it regularly puts me in an awkward position. Because I'm gay, it's just assumed that I hate Bush and like Obama. I tend to be ambiguous in these situations, because I will get sarcastic when I'm fed up. I usually just ask questions about their opinions in a way that leaves them wondering what my exact positions are. It usually dawns on them that I may not share their point of view. It gets even more complicated when my partner is with me with his own opinions! LOL
