| If a black was fighting for slavery, would you out him for it? |
|
Of course!
So why not out all gays fighting for regressive laws against gays?

| 2. How about an anti-abortionist who had an abortion? |
|
Would I "out" a pro-lifer who is an anti-abortion activist concerning a past abortion?
You bet I would, even tho I am pro-choice.

Especially if that "pro-lifer" was tied in with the White House "slipping by" the post-9/11 Secret Service with a simple Alias and a fake news organization as cover for over two years, and was not a journalist.
Doesn't this guy owe $20,000 in back taxes, too?
AND he may have comitted treason in outing Valerie Plame.
Yeah, I sure as fuck would out all of them.

But say he chemically changed the pigment of his skin and still fought for slavery....
Much like Guckon "changed" his appearance.

| 8. The point is: "outing" is not homophobic. |
|
So forget the black part, how about outing a Jewish KKK member? Does that make one anti-semitic?
If one accepts that there is no shame in being gay and that it is a natural state of being, then why the heck would "outing" a person be considered homophobic?

| 5. I also think this guy outed himslef by placing ads on the |
|
internet for his gay escorting skills. And on multiple sites. Not someone who is being very discrete with his sexuality.

just whisper something about his lineage to his buddies in the local KKK, and let them sully themselves by stringing him up the nearest magnolia tree.
