MODERATORS
He asked that the state GOP revoke their endorsement of him. That's something.
His previous comments imply some internalized homophobia, but this recent line of rhetoric from the Colorado GOP is obviously eliminationist, and he seems to have realized it. Maybe it leads to him more closely examining his previous attitudes, maybe it doesn't.
I'm not saying he's like, a good dude. Just worth noting that he found a line he wouldn't cross.
I don’t think that getting driven out of this party by bigots counts as “moving in the right direction“.
