144. I fail to draw the distinction.
I do not see drug use as wrong. I couldn't care less if Rush Limpballs uses drugs or not. What I do care about is that as a public figure he has stated many times that drug abusers deserve to spend hard time in jail. He's a hypocrite and is cashing in on said hypocrisy by pandering to what his "employers" (which are his listeners really) want to hear.

Same thing here. If this guy is pandering to his "employers" while misrepresenting himself, then he doesn't deserve the protection of the closet because he's part of the problem.

I'm sorry if you find that offensive or a violation of your ethics, but I am not going to protect someone who's actions turn me into a second class citizen or at the very least, leave me in that status by preventing me from adopting children or marrying my partner.
