@Understandingways After the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed by both Democrats and Republicans in the North, and opposed by both Democrats and Republicans in the South, the racist white Southern majority abandoned both parties, in the 1968 presidential election, instead voting for a third party racist, winning 5 states. Nixon then won over that racist white Southern majority to vote Republican, in 1972. Aside from giving Southern boy Jimmy Carter one shot, that racist majority has almost entirely been voting Republican ever since.
He was already protesting the conventions of both parties, before that happened. Pretty sure he would not be a modern Republican, after that happened, and didn't say anything to suggest he'd be opposed to gay rights. His wife and Bayard Rustin think he would have supported their rights.
