Ok just real quick here. First off thanks for looking into Reichert's congressional votes. I want to briefly address the anti-gay sentiment.

First off sentiments are a person's feelings or whatever and I'm not inside his head, so instead I'm going to focus on two things, what he has said and how he governs based on his votes in congress, which I think are fair game for who you vote for.

OK on spoken word. Firstly, as already stated in this thread, Reichert has told groups of republicans that he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. However he has since clarified that he is not going to govern under that belief. In a statement shared with The Seattle Times, Reichert clarified that he would not take steps to rescind gay marriage in Washington. Secondly he has stated that he doesn't believe men should compete in women's sports. This is not something the governor has anything other than an opinion on. We elect at the state level a superintendent of public instruction who controls the schools and their sports, so it's out of his wheelhouse. This is not explicitly anti-gay as many gay people agree. I mean if the Seattle dominated liberal democrat legislature bring him a bill banning men in women's sports, he will probably sign it but we both know that bill isn't coming.

Now onto his anti-gay votes in congress. I just searched and there aren't any. There was only one law I could find that he voted on regarding gays or the LGBTQ community. In 2010 Reichert was one of only 15 Republicans to vote for the pro-gay bill repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" allowing gay people to join the military. So gay people can join the military according to Reichert. Looking over his voting record will reveal that Reichert is one of the most centrist bipartisan representatives we have had and not the anti-gay anti-abortion monster that his opponents portray him as. After all, he is a King County Seattle Area guy.
