37. Why I think it is ok to out homosexuals that work to oppose gay rights.
Homosexuals who have the guts to come "out of the closet" are often subject to ridicule in this country. Homosexuals who hide in the closet while helping to foster an atmosphere of open hostility toward gays and lesbians deserve to be exposed to the hostility the create.

What tolerance there is for homosexuals in this country was won by those who had the courage to come out and fight. It is reprehensible then that someone would attack the rights of these people while enjoying a level of comfort provided by them.
