There's a big difference! As long as Gay sociopaths (people who lack a conscience when hurting other people) are allowed to act unfettered by the mistaken notion held by some that "outing" is a bad thing (with its underlying assumption that there is something wrong with being Gay), they will continue to sacrifice LGBT people on the altar of their own greed and self-serving ambitions. It is only when they are outed as the hypocrites they are, and, hence, the sociopaths they are, that their effect in fomenting hatred against LGBT people will be diminished, if not eradiacated.Jerry Manekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748201321055468172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1161461150677949922006-10-21T16:05:00.000-04:002006-10-21T16:05:00.000-04:00Outing is wrong.

She was only "selectively out," as so many GLB persons are and was in danger of losing her job. I had forgotten this basic lesson and I spent years trying to make up for it.Michael Westmoreland-White, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06343135380354344847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1161399122068329972006-10-20T22:52:00.000-04:002006-10-20T22:52:00.000-04:00If you want to have a private life, then stay a pr...If you want to have a private life, then stay a private person.<BR/><BR/>Work to destroy people, and they will work to destroy you.KipEsquirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326513032807027956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1161395796467571872006-10-20T21:56:00.000-04:002006-10-20T21:56:00.000-04:00Boy, that's a tough one.

It's their life and their choice and if that's what they've chosen, fine with me. <BR/><BR/>However, when you work for a political party that has demonized anyone who identifies as gay, lesbian or transgender and you yourself are gay, lesbian or transgender, well, shame on you and you're fair game. <BR/><BR/>How someone could identify as GLBT and still support, yet alone work for some of these people (Rick Santorum comes to mind) is beyond me. I just don't understand what these people are thinkng. How can they support policies that go against their own self-interest? How can they pander to the lowest common denominator just to get some tax cuts is beyond me, so the hell with them, out 'em all.<BR/><BR/>That's all I gotta say about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
