It is indeed time to open the doors of hypocrisy and to out legislators who vote against gay-rights legislation. There are few circumstances in which I (an out lesbian) favor outing but this is one of them. It's called full disclosure, and the voting public--gay and otherwise--has a right to know.
I applaude the Victory Fund, which declined to give Foley campaign money because he was not willing to come out.
And, yes, the mainstream media needs to stop holding its nose when covering (when it does at all) gay rights issues. But there's so much wrong with the MSM right now that, hell, I'll settle for small steps--such as it actually reporting on the mess its made in Iraq.
