People seem to think being a moderate means I'm always in the middle on every issue, like somehow I on the fence about guns and LGBT rights and uncertain about both..

No, It just means I am capable of seeing past dogma and accepting good principles no matter what side of the political fence it lies on. I can completely support gun rights AND completely support LGBT rights at the same time. Hell I say give all the LGBT members guns, they will probably be a lot safer for it.
