298. have you had sex with the congressman in question?
do you have video of him having homosexual relations? do you have DNA?

if not, then all your proclaimations about how this alleged closeted person behaves are irrelevant to say the least but i'll continue with a hypothetical.

you and others harp on the issue of his hypocrisy.

one which issue to you peg his hypocrisy?

is this furor inspired by his lack of a public gay life? you describe your life as a public expression of your total gay package. are you saying that if he is gay and chooses not to be publicly gay that he is a hypocrite for that?

or is it his voting record? as has been mentioned earlier, there is no real gay agenda that is universally accepted. many gays want the validation of the word marriage. many gays want a civil union status instead. many gays dismiss both as a attempt to corral them into a hetro-based monogomous life style.

do you accept that this diversity of opinion exists in the gay community? could it be that an elected politician may diverge in his opinion as compared to yours without being hypocritical?

also, what is the job of a respresentative? is it to vote the will of his constituants? if so, and i do hope so since this is a democratic principle, if he is voting the wishes of his district, fairly reflecting the wishes of those that elect him how is he hypocritical.

finally, i ask again...if you are so very offended by hypocrisy, how is it that you can even consider this action which goes against liberal and democratic tennants. the idea that this party would enodrosed the outing of any gay man is the heigth or maybe better said, the depth of hypocrisy.
