135. I disagree
it's one thing to point out his hypocrisy, but making a political issue
out of this would mean implying that there is something wrong with the guy's sexual choice. and i personally *don't* think there's anything wrong with his sexual choice, nor do i think it's anyone's business. and that is what i always assumed to be the basic stance of progressives - a person's sex life is their own business. humiliating someone doesn't seem to fit with that ideal, imo.

really, i agree with the previous post - that there is much more important things to focus our energy and righteous indignation on.

unless it's possible to focus on the hypocrisy without any implication that he should be ashamed of his lifestyle choice.
