This is not a problem for me, either. Where it becomes a problem is when a conservative DOES compromise conservative and/or Christian principles to accommodate homosexuals. There are far more than the three he mentioned who are openly homosexual while in the conservative camp. Guy Benson, Douglas Murray, and Rick Grennell. The latter, as I've mentioned before, is a problem for his comments encouraging kicking out a Kirk-type person who maintains the righteous, truthful and factual belief that marriage is a one man/one woman proposition only and we should return, as a society and culture, to that.
When one regards one's self as more one side than the other, it doesn't necessarily imply absolute purity and it would indeed be hard to maintain a majority of purity is required. A homosexual who believes in smaller government, fewer taxes and regulation, a strong military, less crime, personal responsibility and a secure border is a conservative who sadly is a enslaved to a detestable belief about him/herself. To me that's not enough to deny such a person membership in the club and frankly, I would expect, should the issue arise, that such a person would defend homosexual lifestyles and SSM. We just, as a party or movement, should not say, "OK, we'll all be Rob Portmans and Dick Cheneys and amend our opposition to appease and enable the LGBTQ++++ crowd." That won't do.

Not at all. The problem is that Kirk's actions and life demonstrate that the lies being spread are exactly that, lies.
what someone actually does, has always been more important than what they say.
