Yet another idea from the idiots over at the kos site. There are gay republicans??? Say it isn't so! There are gay folks in EVERY aspect of life. Doctors, Attorneys, Accountants, and yes, even Republicans. The basic idea is to out every gay Republican to show the hypocracy of the Republican party. Well I hate to burst your bubble guys, but I already know that.
Furthermore, outing a gay person is wrong, regardless of political affiliation. I don't bash gay folks because what they do in their bedroom is their business. As long as it's consenting adults and no crime is being committed (child abuse, sexual assault, etc), then I have no qualms about what a person does in the privacy of their own home. I play World Of Warcraft and I have at least one publicly gay man in my guild. He's an excellent player and is very polite and charming. The fact that he is gay means absolutely nothing to me. In fact, we recently had another guild member publicly out this man and, had I been there, I would have kicked him out immediately. I don't know how many people know that this man is gay, but for another player to say "And just so you know, So and So is Gay!" is wrong.
This is just another political attempt to try to wrestle control of congress from the Republicans. Unfortunately, I think every time that they pull stuff like this, they usually have it backfire on them. I'd rather have someone in office who'll do what's right, rather then what's popular.
