...and watching the republicans eat their own.

(and keep in mind I have yet to hear evidence that this person is really gay so I am working in the realm of hypothetical)

You make it sound as though we would be the one's doing the destruction. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's obvious that a closeted gay man who votes is anti-gay doesn't consider himself to be on our side. So we reveal his "dirty little secret" and sit back and watch the teat he is sucking at dry up and his "friends" in the republican party and his "supporters" turn on him. And maybe, just maybe, he'll realize that he has been a fool and learn from the experience.

Maybe not. I daresay, however, that we owe this person no loyalty. Not politically because this person is a republican. Not as fellow gay person because he does not identify with the gay community through voice or his actions. Not even the respect of being person enough to stand up and live openly under conditions that he himself was partially responsible for creating.
