I don't believe the gay lifestyle is wrong, and I pity those who are forced to deny their lifestyle. It is especially hard for a Republican politician, given the intolerance of much of the party. Someone who is mostly in line with Republican views, as the Senator seems to be, can do much good but be forced to conceal part of his private life. That is a shame.
