When I turned 18 in 1991, I was thrilled to finally have the ability to vote. I was a product of the MTV generation where my knowledge of politics was limited to MTV's "Rock the Vote" commercials. My first election was the 1992 presidential election. I voted for Bill Clinton. I also voted for him in 1996. As my political knowledge started to shift from MTV to talk radio and cable news, I began to realize the major mistake I had made. Since then; being part of the gay community, I've developed a love for political adversity when someone from my community would question how gay I was since I voted Republican. I also noticed that coming out as a Republican in my community is far more dramatic than coming out as a gay man to the rest of the world. Needless to say, the contempt I have received has transformed from something that made me nervous and uncomfortable to something I am most proud of. I'm a total news junkie, a full-time accountant, and a single guy who loves the outdoors more than anything. I've made many friends throughout my blogging experiences and look to make many more.

Conservatism transcends gender, race, sexual orientation and other inherent, unchangeable qualities in any person who subscribes to those values. I am proof of that statement. I am a gay Republican from Texas. I feed on politics and try my best to lend my voice to the conservative movement with my own unique perspective on events – local, national and international. I cannot be pigeonholed into the GOP, - I believe that conservative principles trump any party affiliation. However, I believe that Republicans offer the best hope of securing the vision of our forefathers and the future of our nation. It is up to people like myself to challenge the GOP to do what is in the best interests of this country in furthering the conservative cause while simultaneously opening up to those of us who are the new generation of the grassroots conservatives. This is one of my forums for achieving those goals.

My parents taught me from a young age to pay attention to what's going on in the world around me and to really, genuinely care. I was raised in a very religious household; consequently, I learned early on that homosexuality was a big no-no. It took me a long time to accept the fact that I was gay. Everyone else knew it before I did! At first, I had to reconcile my orientation with my beliefs, and for a time I questioned those beliefs. But my politics haven't changed: I'm quite conservative and I refuse to apologize for it, even with the gay community openly calling me a deviant for my politics. Today, my parents and I don't necessarily agree on everything, but I dig and study every little thing before I make up my mind. I don't believe that feelings should be considered so heavily when deciding what your position is, and I've seen too many brilliant people dragged down by their emotional reactions. I try to make purely intellectual conclusions and to really be open-minded, even if I don't always succeed. I'm originally from Texas and currently working as a fraud investigator and an EMT in Arizona, hoping to eventually get back home (unless some amazing girl steals my heart here!).
