As an out bisexual man - OUT THE BASTARDS!!!
Jeff Gannon, Carl Rove, Scott McLellan, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, the whole crew. If they can be outed, OUT THEM.

They have no right to a clean, well-lit closet while they destroy the rights of Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian and Transgendered people!!!

They have no right to claim the moral high ground while working as a prostitute and destroying the lives of sexworkers who are not so well connected.

They have no right to exchange sexual favors for political ones when they were the ones screaming about the Blue Dress.

We can destroy them with their own hypocrisy, and we MUST.

We owe this to posterity.

2. yes, the guys at blogactive and americablog are real heroes.
what they are doing is not without risk to say the least.

Plus, they certainly can't be shamed publicly, what can you do to an out gay man, out queers are like public relations kryptonite.

6. As a flaming heterosexual...
I say that any hypocrite needs to be exposed for his or her hypocrisy, ESPECIALLY when that hypocrisy is aimed at the destruction of those who are like them, in the interest of the accurel of personal power and influence.

But hasn't Mike Signorile been saying this for years?

7. Another vote for outing!
I believe they should have to live in the filth they have created for us! They should have the opportunity to live with the hate they help create and fan.

9. OUT THE HOMOPHOBES!
But we must be careful not to let those who wish to engage in a witchhunt against all gays to contaminate the effort. There is room for abuse here, and it's up to us to keep it in check.

PLEASE CALL PEOPLE OUT ON THE BOARD if this starts to happen. We must keep this in check. It makes me a little nervous to see all of these 'what other bastards are gay' type comments. Taken out of context, that is a dangerous thing to say.

As a white straight person, I am very familiar with the code and the cloaked remarks that other straight whites use to bash gays and blacks.

10. Let's not pretend that the Democratic Party...
...is all about gay rights. When our candidates are not only afraid to campaign for marriage and family equality, but who repeatedly chant against it, the GOP isn't the only enemy.

Out anyone working for a politican who fails to support full civil rights, maybe, no matter which party--but you ought to consider helping them once they're unemployed.

27. That's true, Clinton signed the DOMA
and many Dems do not support Gay marriage. But the repukes are far worse, in fact, they are waging a full out witch hunt to lynch gays. They have their "family focus" type groups and anti gay rights supporters on the front lines.

11. Rush Limbaugh IS gay.
When he lived in NYC, he kept at least one high end male prostitute.

Of course, none of his prostitutes or ex-wives (beards) will ever say a peep. But, the truth is, Rush Limbaugh's sexual practices probably make Michael Jackson look tame.

15. Not to mention his arrest in Pittsburgh in the 70s.
Google it... He was working at the time under the name "Jeff Christie"

BTW, email me if you have anything about his time in NYC that I might use to out him. I have been working the "Jeff Christie" story for about three years with no luck getting actual proof so far.

12. Somehow, the RW turned mentioning Cheneys out lesbian daughter
against Dems. I'm all for outing the hypocrites but we need to be careful. I'm still bemused how Kerry was blamed for mentioning an out lesbian, but he was. When we start mentioning closeted gays and lesbians, we will be blamed. Let's plan a rebuttal now.

14. when your dick is hanging out on the internet, you are not "closeted"
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 07:23 PM by jdj
same when you enter a gay bar or keep a gay lover.

That isn't closeted, that's delusional, if you are a public figure. We will find you and we will out you. They better get used to it...they declared war on us, and we are bringing it on.

17. good point
and also, these jerks want us to be 'respectful' of their privacy, yet politically they are on the side of those who want to destroy us.

Sorry, you'll get no cover from me if you are trying to destroy me.

20. Here is your rebuttal.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

If you want a Gay Holocaust, then you had better not be gay yourself.

At least the Log Cabin Republicans are honest about their self-hatred.

23. I agree with all the responses
but can someone explain DU to me. I've posted much more provacative stuff and got no response. Why I got so many responses for that post is beyond me. :shrug:

28. Well, what will they say about Alan Keyes' daughter's outing?
The Republicans didn't do much. WE BACKED OFF! That's the way they get their way. They know the Dems will get scared and backoff.

29. I don't see it as different from 'outing' Bush on being AWOL
as he sends thousands of troops into war, or exposing a pot smoking judge who sends people to prison for marijuana.
call it justice

31. I agree, ben...
...but if we want them outed, then we are the people who are going to need to do the investigating and research into their past.

But where do we begin? Do we set up a group to work specifically on this? Do we just go off on our own and begin researching?

And then, when we find stuff, what to do then? Report it to the "liberal" media? The same "liberal" media that really hasn't been doing its job since Bush* stole office.

The only reason Watergate happened was because there were two very dedicated journalists who wanted the truth to get out. Can we find at least one dedicated journalist who does want the truth to get out? And I'm not talking about the left leaning radio dudes. We need a journalist who works in a major U.S. newspaper to report what ever we can dig up.

Sorry to put a damper on this, my friend, but unless we have everything worked out in advance, then no matter how much we dig up, it will be useless without someone big willing to report the truth.

34. According to Trumad, if you're bi, you're gay.
No explanation from him as to why people would choose to be out as "bi", when it would be so much easier to be closeted, if that was their intent ...

35. Actually, it is another level of "outness"
When you are out as bi, you are regarded as suspicious by BOTH gay AND straight people.
