Think Progress: Today, the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer declared a “huge win” in response to the news that Mitt Romney’s openly gay foreign policy spokesperson Richard Grenell had resigned. According to Fischer, Grenell’s resignation is evidence that Romney is catering to social conservatives, expressing great confidence that Romney “is not going to make this mistake again. There is no way in the world that Mitt Romney is going to put a homosexual activist in any position of importance in his campaign.”
Bigots and racists get "huge wins" from the Republican party all time. As we have often said unless you're a super-rich, white, evangelical-Christian, male there is no place for you in the GOP. They hate you. And if you're gay, they hate you even more. Even the closeted gay Republicans will heap abuse on you. Vote for them at your peril.
On this deal though it really shows the cravenness of the Romney camp. They hired this guy but told him not to go on TV or say anything for fear of pissing off the bigoted GOP base. Well, they went nuts anyway, and now he's gone.
