I believe the guy you're talking about is Andrew Sullivan. He is HIV positive, gay, practicing Catholic, ex-patriot Brit, and Conservative. He used to be an editor for the New Republic magazine.
Although he is British, he has been a prominent commentator about American politics for a long time and is very much an American Conservative, contrary to what NWR said.
Here is his blog, he is an excellent writer and his blog is well worth reading, both Liberals and Conservatives will find much they agree and disagree with.
