Gay Republican shocked after party official says she is sickened that he adopted children
Jeffrey Sossa-Paquette, who is running for a seat in the Second Congressional District in Massachusetts, was horrified when he saw an email sent by fellow Republican Deborah Martell which suggested he shouldn’t be raising children.
Sossa-Paquette and his husband Julian are proud dads to Ashley, 19, and Rylan, 10.
Martell, who represents the district of Ludlow on the Republican State Committee, made the anti-gay remarks in an email sent to members of the Republican Party in Massachusetts on 15 May.
In the email – seen by The Boston Globe – Martell wrote: “I heard he was a ‘married’ homosexual man, who adopted children. I was sickened to hear this.”
Sossa-Paquette became aware of her comments days later and he decided to confront her by email, saying he planned to go to the media about what she had said.
Martell replied: “I am a Catholic who loves God and His Ten Commandments. I wish the best for every person in the world, including you!”
She continued: “What sickened me was that you adopted children… Children deserve a mom and a dad. That’s how God designed marriage and the family.”

Mr. Gay Republican, you are not allowed to be shocked.
Either you resign your party which is against LGBT rights, or keep quiet.

Sounds like a real dumbfuck so a typical Republican. I agree that Republicans have no business raising children.

The GOP always shows their true colors to these fools, and yet they always remain in this bad relationship and go back for more. Battered wife syndrome?

These idiots think they're immune from the hate expressed for other groups. A right-wing utopia would never include openly gay people. How stupid must you be thinking that being rich or simply full of hate for others, makes you think you're not "other" to the overwhelming majority of the GOP?
R12, the GOP never hid their true colors (which is no colors, just white). It's just that certain gay (white) men are so full of hate for others that they think they can join in the "fun" with their fellow racists and bigots on the right.
Reality check: Most of the GOP will always view you as a sodomite.

Gay Republicans continually act as if the party's strong anti-gay stance is mostly an act to keep the fundies happy, but that most Republicans "don't really mean it."
Until they get a reality check like this.

They're racist assholes with enough money and likely self loathing that they're happy to join the Republicans in opressing poor and minorities.

What R23 said. You have to truly be full of hate for others or just so greedy that you willingly sacrifice your dignity, to be both gay and a Republican. There's no excuse that makes you look good - and that doesn't mean you have to be a Democrat.
I'm personally not registered with any party, but I sure as hell will never vote for a Republican - certainly not these days.

Gee, where are all the "wokeness forced me to start voting for Republicans" now? How about Mr. 'I was born gay, not a Democrat or Republican"? Democrats are deeply flawed, but Republicans want us back in the closet without any rights. This isn't hard to discover...

So he's religious - so of course, being a member of one cult that doesn't want you makes sense to join another cult who also doesn't want you.
Name one thing the Catholic church or Republicans have done for him as a gay man. The answer? Fucking nothing.
And - watch - there will be no censure or disapproval of Ms. Martell's comments by the GOP.

“This does not represent the Republican Party that I’ve defended for the last 20 years of my life,” Sossa-Paquette said. Oh - but it does, it does indeed.
Sossa-Paquette said he reached out to state GOP Chairman Jim Lyons, who “basically just told me he’s not going to get involved.”
Yep - there's your support Sossa-Paquette. Fucking fool!

Take a hint, dumb cunt.
Sossa-Paquette has since been looking for members of his party to rally around him, and he’s found some, but, for the most part, their support has been tepid, at best.
A few have put out vague statements decrying bigotry and saying Martell’s beliefs have “no place in public discourse.” (Privately, however, is another story.) Massachusetts GOP Vice Chair Tom Mountain was perhaps the most forceful when he said Martell “did a bad thing” and “made our party look really bad.”
When Sossa-Paquette requested to speak about the matter before the Massachusetts Republican state committee this week, he was denied the opportunity.
“After my family and myself being attacked, I’m not allowed to address the State Committee on June 9th meeting,” he tweeted to a local journalist.

He should've claimed that dear Debra is denouncing Donald Trump and declare that Joe Biden is the legitimate POTUS. You can bet your tushy Lyons would see the need to get involved then.

This is the problem with religionists. It's not enough to simply abide by the tenets of one's religion—everyone else must, too. Religion must be eradicated if humanity is to survive.
