I explained why Andrew Breitbart was a better friend to gays than Barack Obama in an invited op-ed published in October 2011 by The Advocate. I’m glad to see more members of the lesbian and gay community recognizing this and speaking out. Funnily enough, one of the last times Andrew was accused of being gay in an ambush interview, he had his arm around my waist for a photo together for my op-ed, which pretty much spoiled the Leftist narrative on him.

The gay community is a model of how fiscal conservatism works because we cannot count on our families, religion or the government ever to help us. We MUST be self-reliant, which is why we choose entrepreneurial professions in large numbers. We MUST be charitable, to support the people and groups serving our needs, causes and community. No one else will help us. THAT is why gays support fiscal conservatism. If government gets too big and taxes too high, we will have no discretionary income left to support our own champions and causes — and they will be silenced, or wither and die.

I’ve been advocating gay equality to the conservative movement and fiscal conservatism and a strong national defense to the gay community since January 2009 at my blog, <a href="http://aconservativelesbian.com/2011/06/25/conservative-arguments-for-gay-equality/A Conservative Lesbian.
