An e-mail I received from Dr. Benjamin Lewis, pictured, president of Sunshine Republicans in Fort Lauderdale:
GOProud's co-sponsorship of CPAC was controversial in some quarters right from the beginning. Liberty University pulled out because GOProud was also allowed to be a co-sponor of CPAC. At the actual event, some guy named Ryan Sorba trashed GOProud and got boo'd off the stage as a result:

I'm a bit confused here. Benjamin Lewis is president of the Sunshine Republicans which calls itself a "GOProud group."
I looked at this group's website. It says they favor repeal of DADT and oppose and anti-Gay marriage amendment.
Yet Mr. Lewis says he is opposed to Gays in the military, marriage equality for Gay couples, and he thinks Gay sex is a sin.
What am I missing here? Is Benjamin Lewis Gay? Why isn't he joining one of those weird "Ex-Gay" ministries and becoming the latest poster-boy for Exodus?
The man sounds tragically conflicted.
