Gay Conservative

I asked Steve what I should do with my first post on the site, but he wouldn’t help me out.  So, I figured I would start with a little intro.  I promise this won’t hurt, and I won’t make this too long.  After this, I start hammering on the issues.

First of all – thanks to Steve for the opportunity to post on this site.  We’ve talked about this for a long time.  Steve and I don’t agree on everything although we get there about 90% of the time.  We both have a mutual regard for the other, so it’s a great blog match.  I’m concerned with a lot of issues that he doesn’t cover, and he is a fan of issues that I usually don’t address.  So, hopefully, we now offer you a greater range of coverage when it comes to issues that conservatives care about.

What can you expect from me?  I love international issues and will take you to places like Sudan, Zimbabwe, the Middle East, Russia, Europe, etc.  I also tend to focus on very specific candidates and political races – I’m your go-to guy in an election year.  I’m versatile when it comes to the issues I cover, but, like everyone, I have my pet causes.

I’m not a neocon in the very strict definition of the term (as I was never a liberal), but I do have a bent there as well as towards the libertarian strain of the GOP.  It makes for an interesting mix and should provide for some very interesting blogs.  Of course, I always try to tailor my remarks to timely issues.  So, if there is a little overlap between Steve and myself – just enjoy.  You will get different perspectives on the same issue (what a bonus!).

Again, thanks to Steve, and thanks to all of those folks who have already welcomed me to the site.  Feel free to drop me an email anytime.  I plan to keep posting some on my own blog, but for now – gayconservative.org is my focus.  I believe that there is a lot that unites us as conservatives.  And two voices are greater than one.  Add to that the unique perspective of two gay conservative bloggers.  Steve and I have a common mission, and I am proud to share this space with him.
