I am struck by the words used to describe Ari, and I wonder how many people judge him based on those words. It says a lot about Ari that he embraces those terms and is true to who he is.

I have found most gay people who are “conservative” are “fiscal conservatives” as opposed to “social conservatives.” I am not sure where our friend Ari falls on the “conservative spectrum,” but I would hope he is not a “social conservative,” as that would be a bit ironic…
I believe most “gay conservatives” are holding on to what they were taught growing up (i.e. conservative ideals), and cling to these childhood lessons for the sake of honoring tradition…
Nice he knows who he is and accepts it. I don’t fully understand him, but then again—I’ll never FULLY understand anyone…

Why can’t a gay person be socially conservative as well? Obviously, they can’t be against gays, but there are many other socially conservative agendas. What about abortion? What about religion? What about the family and school agendas? What about the way they teach sex education in school. Maybe he also doesn’t like illegal immigration. There are so many issues. To think that conservatives are all “gay haters” is just ignorant on your part. That is like saying all liberals are commies. Simply not true.
