You say: My tent has a sign that says, "No bigots." Anyone who supports outing someone because he is gay wouldn't get in.

Question: Do you support outing someone who is gay AND who is homophobic?

Because that's what we're discussing here - although you keep conveniently leaving off the homophobic part. We're not talking about "outing someone who is gay". We're talking about outing someone who is "gay and anti-gay". Big difference, wouldn't you say?

To draw a comparison: What if Halle Berry were trying to "pass" as white. What if she were a legislator and she was passing laws saying that black people shouldn't have the right to adopt and black people shouldn't have the right to health benefits.

Would you be in favor of pointing out "Actually, Halle Berry is black"? Or would you say (as I've seen it stated in this thread) that doing so would be "hate" politics or "Nazi-like"? Would you say that she is just "reflecting what her constituents want"? Would you say that she "might just not feel that those people deserve those new rights yet"?

Because that's the kind of crap people like you are saying in this thread. (Can't remember if it's you or 'bearfartinthewoods' - but you both keep apologizing for Dreier saying it's ok for him to be anti-gay for some mysterious reason.)

And to all you knee-jerk politically correct types: - we're NOT saying it's somehow "bad" for Halle Berry to be black. We're saying it's bad for her to be both black and anti-black. OK? So don't weigh in with your liberal credentials trying to say "Oh it would be so WRONG to out someone for being gay because that would mean there's something WRONG with being gay." For the umpteenth time I will repeat it: We are not talking about outing Dreier just for being gay. We are talking about outing Dreier for being both gay AND anti-gay.

Do you get it now?
