But most Republicans will NOT vote for a person solely because he/she is gay or black or whatever

Republicans don't vote for gay person because they are regressive and polluted by the backward and ignorant views of their socially repressed constituencies.

The Republican Party as a whole has moved vastly to the left on the issue of gays over the last 30 years. The fact that the elimination of DADT was supported by many Republicans is evidence of this fact.

You see how delusional you are? Only 8 republican senators and 15 congressmen voted to repeal DADT and they come with progressive baggage...

Every Republican to vote to repeal DADT today comes from a state where the state's other senator also voted for repeal. Of the eight Republicans to vote for repeal, six represent a state in which the other senator is a Democrat who supported repeal by voting "yes" on both failed cloture votes on the NDAA this year, voting "yes" on cloture on the stand-alone bill today and voting "yes" for final passage of the repeal bill today. The other two represent Maine -- and both voted "yes" on cloture and for final passage today.
