Matthew - I haven't followed Dreier's career much, except for knowing that he's the classic closeted gay Republican who votes against his own interests. I was not aware that he was voting FOR gay rights recently, which is interesting. Could you provide more info about what he's been voting for recently? Perhaps this is indicative of a change of heart that would ultimately lead to him coming out. Every time a gay Republican comes out, of course, especially an important one, it's a big step for us.

Voted NO on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman. (Jul 2006)

Voted NO on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)

Rated 38% by the HRC, indicating a mixed record on gay rights. (Dec 2006)

i got these facts from this site

He's no perfect and yes he did vote against gay adoptions in 2004 but also remember that lgb legislation in late 2007 that would prhibit discrimantion at the federal level he voted for that.
