410. It's not about outing a HOMOSEXUAL, it's outing a HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL
Why don't you get this simple point?

You keep saying wrong-headed things like: "You treat homosexuality like it's a bad thing by using it to destroy your enemies."

And everyone keeps saying back to you: we're not into outing homosexuals in general. We talking about outing a HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL - a homosexual who is voting AGAINST homosexuals.

We're NOT saying being a homosexual is a bad thing. We're saying that being homosexual AND anti-homosexual is an inconsistent thing. We've said it over and over and you still refuse to see it, and you keep coming back with ridiculous statements like "You treat homosexuality like it's a bad thing by using it to destroy your enemies."

This discussion is about HYPOCRISY, not about homosexuality. Haven't you read the examples where people have said "What if McCarthy were a closet communist? Would that have been worth outing?"

Can you understand that the person we're talking about has to have TWO qualities in order to be worthy of "outing": They have to BE something (something good or something bad, doesn't matter) and they have to claim to be AGAINST that very thing that they are. Could be being a homosexual, could be being a communist. We are NOT saying it's bad to be a homosexual or a communist. We are saying that it's INCONSISTENT to be a homophobic homosexual, or to be an anti-communist communist.

So stop falling back on this pseudo-politically correct stance and pretending like the people favoring "outing" this guy somehow think that homosexuality is a "bad" thing. What's bad is being a hypocrite.
