Gay conservatives/libertarians at Harvard don't exactly find
themselves embraced by either the BGLTSA student "queer" group or
by the local GOPers (who, as the Harvard Republican Club, use the
moniker "HRC"). As quoted by the Crimson,
one non-leftie opines, quite sensibly:
I don't think there's any reason being gay should lead you to support bigger government and high taxes. These are issues that have nothing to do with being gay.
But I guess it's not easy finding support for personal autonomy,
limited government, property rights and voluntary (non-coercive)
association on a lib-left campus with a smallish conservative
opposition. Nor in the wider world polarized betwixt a highly
partisan left and right. (hat tip: Rick Sincere)
