Congressman who has voted against gay rights believed gay; Newspapers said to have deliberately muzzled reporters on gay issues

1. "Outing" people is a slimeball tactic regardless.

A person's sexual orientation is nobody else's business. Whether Repub or Dem, those who "out" people for gain are scum.

[mitchtv]

2. Gays who vote to discriminate against gays

deserve everything they get. As for "slimeball" after Monica, anything goes.And,if you are not gay , just get out of the way, no one is interested in you POV. It's the hypocrisy, stupid. Dreie voted for theDOMA and more =

[MercutioATC]

4. This answer applies to to Post #3 also:

Outing people against their will is wrong. It's a despicable tactic designed to gain political advantage. Regardless of a person's opinions (or votes) they're entitled to keep their sexual preference private.

Support for this is what I'd expect to see on FR, not here.

[mitchtv]

6. expect it from Gay people of every persuasion

You have no right to privacy if you vote to take away my rights. Especially if you are gaining professionally and getting benefits that you would deny me in doing do. I'd say the majority of the gays who post here are in favor of outing anti gay pols. Your name calling does no good.

[MercutioATC]

7. It's still my opinion that outing somebody is a bad practice.

Gay or straight, we should all have the right to privacy as far as sexual orientation goes. Support for this by gay people seems especially hypocritical. There's still a negative connotation to homosexuality in much of the country and for anybody, be they gay or straight, to play on this for political advantage is unconscionable.

8. He is my Enemy- He votes to deny my rights= this is personal

I will do all I can to destroy him politically. If it means using the republican homphobia against him, better him tha me. The sooner Dems learn this thebetter off they will be.

[MercutioATC]

9. And that's what's wrong with the argument:

"If it means using the republican homphobia against him, better him tha me."

Something is either wrong to practice or it isn't. Homophobia is wrong, regardless of who practices it.

[mitchtv]

10. play by the rules

dems do, pukes don't, guess who loses: 2000, 2002. anti- gay Gays must go.anlong with other puke hypocrites= that is, after all, the point- Hypocrisy. final thought =it's justice. There is no privacy from being a hypocrite in politics.

11. The high road leads to defeat MercutioATC

Dukakis took it Gore took it, and any opponent of the repugs knows to win you must go down to their level.With declining acuity , education in this country, and the ownership of the media by the corporates, who win with the repugs, it's not anywhere near a level field.Drier was incendiary and very hypocritical, he elicits such a visceral response from me, I'm hetero, but abhor hypocrisy.Is Kitty Kelly wrong too for exposing the bush dynasty of money from Theissen steel who dealt with Hitler illegally? such moral people the bush family. Barbara's beautiful mind as she said should not see the coffins coming back from Irek. C'mon , as Hustler's Larry Flint says " you got to go to expose the hypocritical bastards, they make gay's life hell" I say do unto others .The only way is to go to that level, and counter it daily. If the repugs will return to a modicum of decency, I know the Democrats will gladly return to a modicum of decency.

3. stop voting against gay rights, and you won't be outed..

that's the message. These hypocrites are the scum, and should be exposed.

[mitchtv]

5. you vote on things that should be private

you take your knocks , and in Dreier's case your gay knocks.

[Capn Sunshine]

12. Dreier Officially outed today

LA Weekly , just hit the stands.

[Freddie Stubbs]

13. And he still hasn't resigned?

:shrug:

[mitchtv]

14. Did Mark Foley resign?

This is, after all, So Cal.

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. My point exactly

Many here on DU have been prognosticating Drier's downfall due to this 'scandal' because a Congressman from VA just resigned when he was outed. But California is not Virginia.
