…the audience seemed largely unconcerned about Buchanan's position on LGBT issues or the lack of any mention of them.
Jose Romero, 34, a gay D.C. resident, said he came to the event because “it's time for a change” and after four years of the Obama administration “people aren't in a better place than they were four years ago.”
“I think everyone has their own issues that are important to them and not everyone's No. 1 issue is getting married,” Romero said. “The economy, international politics, those types of issues are more important, I think, to some people than others.”
Jimmy LaSalvia, GOProud's executive director, introduced Buchanan, reminding them his organization is the only national gay organization to endorse Romney because “on issue after issue, a Romney administration would be better for gay Americans, indeed all Americans.”
