Stuart Stevens: The Hidden Power Structure of Closeted Gay Men in the Republican Party. When I see the explosion of sexual orientation hate coming out of the Republican Party under the false pretense of it being limited to anti-trans hate, I can't help but think of the powerful role closeted gay men have played in the modern Republican Party. Below is the first of a series of pieces I'm writing reflecting on my experiences with what was widely known as the GOP's Pink Mafia.

My first entry into politics was through the hidden world of gay Republicans. I didn't know it, but looking back, odds are I never would have become a political consultant if it were not for what I later learned was known as the "Pink Mafia."

I don't like saying this but some of the worst people I have met are white gay men.

Maybe it's that by virtue of being gay, they out-alpha the stereotypical alpha male. Only men can be on their level, in all aspects of life.

There's not a Democrat version of this for lesbians because Democrats don't have to be closeted. It takes away the power dynamic.

Anyway I should read the article it's interesting stuff. Working with gay people in downtown D.C. I learned some things.
