It's literally what just happened at the Republican convention.

Yup. It's incredibly sad, actually. So many people in the Republican party who are afraid to admit to their fellows that they're gay, because Republicans hate gay people. The majority of them, in fact, think that gay marriage should be outlawed. Not that I have much sympathy for closeted gay Republicans; they embrace every other bigoted position of their party, after all. It's just a bunch of people who accept that they'll be second-class citizens in exchange for them making every other "undesirable" a 3rd-class citizen.
