I don't view a vote for someone as a whole hearted endorsement. Papa Combs always said that they he didn't vote for people, he voted against the other guy. So if there are two candidates running for the same race, why not vote for the one you absolutely know won't move these issues in any way you agree with?
On another note, I saw on Sullivan's blog that during this election cycle more gay candidates were elected to public office than ever before. That's not all that interesting in itself. What is interesting is not one of those gay elected officials is Republican. Not in any state legislature and not in Congress. That's astounding. As I believe was said on the blog - the Republican party now partly defines itself on the basis of excluding an entire minority group.
