Reply #67: I wouldn't speculate if they are married either

If they make the information public, it's something they want to share. If they opt not to make the information public, I assume it's not my business - unless it reflects on their job performance (i.e. hypocritical republicans publicly legislating against something they secretly do in private).

You're trying to make this into a straight vs. gay issue. It's not. It's a private vs. public issue. If you were speculating on the types or ages or shapes of people he dates (rather than the gender), I would have the same exact complaint.

It's a right to privacy issue in the same way that the abortion debate is a right to privacy issue, in the same way that wiretapping is a privacy issue.

I value my privacy. I try to respect other people's privacy. Golden Rule stuff.
