I ultimately support the outing of anti-gay politicians.

Two points:

1. Exactly what constitutes “anti-gay” to you? Do you mean anyone who doesn’t sign on to the most radical demands of the homosexual activists, such as being designated an accredited “victim” group, or dismantling traditional values such as defining marriage as one man and one woman? Let’s make it clear here.

2. It’s interesting that you don’t specify that the politicians you want pilloried must be homosexuals. So if a sleazebag like Rogers paints a heterosexual political figure with a “he’s gay” slander, you’re OK with that, as long as he’s “anti-gay”, whatever that means?

So the ends justify the means I hear you saying. Because you disagree with him on policy you support something you don’t support. That’s beautiful!! Thanks for your honesty.

So…. Just for the record. I don’t support graffiti or vandalism but if Elizabeth’s house were targeted with graffiti or vandalism I’d support it because of her positions… There. Analogy complete. Hope you like it.

Hope you approve !!

I am somewhat conflicted about the tactics of Rogers. The process of accepting and disclosing one’s gayness is very stressful and scary–you have to worry about rejection from the people you care about the most, and begin to deal with the changes that come with being identified as a gay American. When someone else outs you, you loose control over this very difficult process, and it adds to the emotional turmoil.

What’s more, Rogers’ tactics create a new sort of McCarthyism targeting gays. It makes me somewhat uncomfortable to see again this kind of a witch hunt going on within the walls of our government.

Those concerns noted, I ultimately support the outing of anti-gay politicians. These politicians take their own shame and self-hatred over being gay out on open gays who just want to live their lives with dignity (as opposed to finding sexual fulfillment through secret trysts in public restrooms and parks). To me, using your democratically elected office as a closet is an abuse of power, and we need people like Rogers to expose that.

Wow – looks like Mike “the Gay Avenger” Rogers has hit the big time with a profile in the Washington Post. Those of us who have followed politics know all about this toad. Rogers gleefully acknowledged back in October 2006 his role in outing Rep. Mar…

The Washington Post’s Arts and Living section today features a shamefully glowing portrait of two-bit thug and extortionist Mike Rogers. The fact a major newspaper would devote space to a vicious smear merchant speaks volumes about their own politica…
