Gays used to worry about the government invading their bedrooms. Now they have to worry about other gays. (Well, maybe gays have always worried about other gays invading their bedrooms, but just not in the way that I’m talking about.)
Homosexual political activists and newspaper editors are engaged in a campaign of exposing closeted gays who work for politicians opposing gay marriage. They have “outed” one congressman, a senator, and numerous congressional staffers.
“Gays and lesbians are under attack!” Mike Rogers, one of the men behind the assault on the privacy of other homosexuals, ironically contends. “It’s amazing to me that people don’t get that! So what are we going to do? Protect these gay staffers who have influence on policy matters while their bosses spew hate and bigotry?”
The campaign is a crude form of blackmail. Support our political agenda, the Gay Left declares, or we’ll ransack your personal life. What might the reaction be if conservatives engaged in this type of political extortion? The fact is there is no figure on the Religious Right who poses as great a threat to the privacy of homosexuals as do the fanatics on the Left. One need only look at the recent history of outing to understand that this is a tactic almost uniformly employed by the Left.
A vindictive Greenwich Village homosexual launched a public crusade to expose Roy Cohn’s homosexuality by spray-painting that message on Manhattan streets and helping to publish thousands of fake inserts of the New York Times detailing Cohn’s gay escapades. Later, left-wing columnist Jack Anderson would despicably publicize Cohn’s medical condition--AIDS. Queer Nation co-founder Michelangelo Signorile outed publishing magnate Malcolm Forbes, Sr. Liberal Frank Rich revealed the homosexuality of then conservative David Brock in a column in the New York Times. Shortly after Congressman Jim Kolbe received word that a hit piece revealing his homosexuality would appear in The Advocate, a major gay publication, the Arizona Republican reluctantly came out of the closet.
Many homosexuals, like many heterosexuals, don’t care to keep the world apprised of the on-goings in their bedrooms. If they want to keep private matters, well, private, shouldn’t we respect their wishes? Activist gays answer “no.” To them, hurting individual gays in outing campaigns serves the larger political cause. Their glorious ends justify their vile means.
Barney Frank shacking up with a male prostitute who ran a brothel out of the congressman’s DC home, academic Michel Foucault purposefully spreading AIDS, and former Rep. Gerry Studds plying a congressional page with liquor before bedding the teenager all elicit cries from the Gay Left that society should stop prying into the personal affairs of public figures. At the same time, they say the private activities of anonymous congressional staffers deserve exposure over the Internet and other media outlets. The Gay Left's stance doesn’t even rise to the level of hypocrisy.
With the standards of a spoiled child, the Gay Left abandons principle in favor of whim. How can any thinking person take their cries of “stay out of our bedrooms” seriously when they are utterly incapable of doing just that when it comes to the private lives of other gays?

Slave, are you actually THE Mr. Slave from South Park? If so, it's great to have another celebrity poster on FlynnFiles. What's with being so informal by dropping the "Mr." prefacing your name?
I'm him, I've never been one for formalities. Hence my butch attire!
After reading this....I don't know what hurts more....my heart......or my ASS.
DAMN! I have concluded it's definitely my ASS!
