420. This is not about HATE it's about exposing HYPOCRISY
People such as JasonBerry who say stuff like this:

"Sexual orientation should never be used against someone for political purposes. Ever!"

keep missing the point here.

The issue here is NOT about sexual orientation. We are NOT against this guy simply because he is a homosexual. We are against him because he is a HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL.

Enough already with the knee-jerk political correctness. Yeah, this is DU, so we understand you want to show that you're fine about gays.

But are you fine about homophobic homosexuals? That's what Dreier is.

Do you like anti-Semitic Jews? Do you like anti-black blacks? Do you like misogynist women? Sure, you want show your "liberal" DU stripes. Does that mean that WHATEVER a gay person does they have your support?

Probably one of the worst things a gay person can do, from a dignity standpoint, is be homophobic. If Dreier is gay, then he's sick in the head - NOT BECAUSE HE'S GAY, BECAUSE HE'S HOMOPHOBIC.

So chill out and feel free to criticize a few gays in your life. It's alright. You can criticize Andy Sullivan while you're at it. You can still be a liberal and criticize gays, if you're criticizing the ANTI-GAY ones. Relax.
