I love how Gays can have a thread looking for other Gays based on "inclusivity and tolerance" but Republicans can't.
To be fair, that's not what you seemed to be looking for. Perhaps it was, but the below quotes make it seem more like you were looking for a Political group to discuss Political issues with. There's a distinction.

I'm personally looking for more hard line conservative, both fiscal and social (pro life, traditional marriage etc.), to run some matches with.

I was aiming more along the lines of cooperative play while constructive discussion of current events could take place.
So you were looking for people of a certain political persuasion to discuss current events, which I think to most people indicates a political discussion. To characterize this as Gays v. Republicans is simply untrue. It's social v. political. A Democratic thread written in the same way as yours above would, I assume, also be taken down.
Looking for people who won't shout bigoted remarks is not, however, a political thread. Gay Republicans exist, and I assume that like Gay Democrats, they also don't like being called names based on their sexual persuasion.
Now, I'm perfectly fine with Republicans joining republicans to play online, but Bioware has made the choice to keep explicit politics out of the forum. I don't think it takes a mastery of nuance, though, to find a distinction between the two groups you compare.
