Not Your Father's Republican Party

While the Christianists continue to work to totally take over the GOP, there seems to be some stray elements in the GOP that like to party like the gays. At least that what photos on the Facebook page linked to Andy Sere (pictured at left), the twink reported by AmeicaBlog to be running the National Republican Campaign Committee press outreach effort, would suggest. He apparently attended an event called the GOB Freedom Festival to celebrate "the freedom of Capt. Michael Quirke and all of our freedoms." From the photos on the event's Facebook page, it looks like the boys had a gay time. Andy notes that he's employed by the NRCC and that he attended Strake Jesuit College Preparatory '02. I'm not saying that Andy or his friends are gay, but he (1) attended Catholic high school and is likely Catholic and (2) is involved in the GOP and likes to party with hot, shirtless guys - could it be he's a closet case? I've known plenty of closeted Catholics and closeted Republicans such as Ed Schrock. John Aravsis summed it up as follows:
*
The National Republican Campaign Committee has a child running their press outreach, and apparently the GOP frat boy thinks it's funny to insinuate that Democrats are gay, simply based on innuendo (which is ironic, when you see his photo). You see, the NRCC spokesman informs us, repeatedly, that the candidate in question cares about "his body image." And we all know what it means when a guy cares about his body image.
*
It gets even odder when you look at the photos from the GOB "festival" that I found on Facebook. (The NRCC chap is listed on the GOB page guest list as having attended.) The photos are below. Now, I'm not going to comment on the body image of Mr. Seré's friends, but let's just say that Manhunt may get a run for their money.
*
Let me be clear, I'm not suggesting that the NRCC spokesman or any of his (international) male friends are gay. I'm simply admiring his soft boyish looks, his seeming obsession with homosexual innuendo and the male form, and his incredibly muscled, half-naked, Bel-Ami boy friends who like to get together for long hot weekends without the necessity of all that clothing covering their tight sweaty pecs.

To understand what John's talking about, here are a couple of photos from the linked Facebook page:
