I'm not eager to say that one cannot be both gay and conservative, but these guys just reflect some flawed logic.
"I come to pass from a farming family, so it's conservative or Catholic." What? There are no fair Protestant farmers? How does he feel about moderate Episcopalians?
"His [Ron Paul] views are more towards letting the people, which would be all of us, fill in the decisions to shape our country." The gay Iowan who said this is quite accurate, at least when it comes to Mr. Paul, but I think he would change his tune about people power when the citizenry centers on the coasts - i.e. where most Americans live - start insisting that all Americans, even temperate gay Iowans, live by their values and social mores.
In the end, these guys consider a socially myopic view that only sees the world from their very limited vantage with respect to make an effort to. Of course, I could be wrong and they could have traveled the world and immersed themselves in other cultures and ideas in pattern to broaden their perspective - but I'd bet they haven't.
