Sure, but this sort of tells you the core essence of that party. A lack of empathy. As long as it doesn't affect them personally, they're happy to ignore others' suffering.
I completely agree - the party is absolutely wretched on a fundamental level and needs to be voted out of relevance. Like I replied to another comment here, however, it sounds like the guy being quoted here (not the gay Republican candidate) is just some guy speaking out against the hate in his party. From the limited context given in the article, he's not doing it because of anyone in his personal life (though that could turn out to be the case). There's obviously some cognitive dissonance there for him to think he's going to change their minds, but I give him credit for even trying.
