Andy Cohen takes gay Republicans to task

I don’t know about you, but I have a few gay Republican friends and they are people I like.

But they wouldn’t be friends if we talked about politics because it’s an area where we simply have to agree to disagree.

But Andy Cohen didn’t hold back when he was asked about gay Republicans on yesterday’s episode of Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC.

‘It’s something I’ve never understood,’ Andy said. ‘I was executive producer of a documentary years ago called Gay Republicans. I’m interested in why someone would support a party that doesn’t necessarily support equality for that person. And I can only assume it’s about the wallet. It’s about ‘I’m a fiscal Republican’.

He added: ‘I’m not political on my show at all, but gay issues are something that not only are of a great concern to me, but just as a human being, I feel so obviously passionate about being treated equally to everyone else that it is the one thing that I really speak up about on my show. …’I can’t understand the idea of saying, ‘Oh well, they’re going to put more money in my bank account, who cares if they don’t believe I can get married?’ I don’t get it.’
