The homophobia on the right is so bad that it has even appalled Jennifer Rubin. Richard Grenell was recently hired by the Romney campaign to be a spokesman on foreign policy issues. But, because Mr. Grenell is openly gay, this did not sit well with a lot of conservative Republicans. The backlash was so strong, in fact, that the Romney campaign simply didn’t use Grenell. He was kept under wraps when controversy arose around the president’s Usama bin-Laden advertisement, and he was never used on conference calls with the press. The Romney campaign didn’t even defend him publicly. So, Grenell just quit the campaign.
Even if you might want to give Romney credit for hiring him in the first place (after all, the idiot used to work for John Bolton), the lack of support and the attempt to hide him are pretty damning examples of cowardice.
