The Democratic party does not take action against Christians or straight people. The Republican party, however, has been very involved in fighting gay marriage.

Being a closeted gay Republican, would be closer to a light skinned Black who passes as white.Or a Jew who changes his/her surname.

Speaking of Black Republicans Kenneth Blackwell was with a speaker who has addressed Neo Nazi and KKK groups. If the Uncle Tom fits.....

"Blackwell toured the state with Larry Pratt, author of ARMED PEOPLE VICTORIOUS, which advocates the creation of militant right-wing militias. Pratt has spoken and shared platforms in the past with Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi Aryan Nation members. He was forced to take a leave of absence from Pat Buchanan’s 1996 presidential campaign over charges of white supremacist and anti-semitic views. Pratt’s 150,000-member Gun Owners of America is proudly to the right of the National Rifle Association."

If a homosexual portrays himself/herself to be heterosexual, and he works against equal rights, I think raising his true sexuality is both valid and necessary; in most cases you will have touched upon the essence of honesty and the resulting neurosis that comes from living a lie. Do you want honest politicians? I do. If the outting causes them a change of heart or to lose power, in either way you've taken one small step at hastening the establishment of equal rights, even if the near-term result is the election of a more conservative candidate instead.

Regarding O'Reilly's comment about the Foley affair damaging homosexuals, I disagree. Foley is small, . . . water under the bridge, and soon beyond the delta. Step out from the maelstrom of coverage and you'll see this.

Shield772 unless you are gay, lesbian, or bi you haven't experienced living a lie, I've gone through that, and came out on the other side with DIGNITY, SELF WORTH, COMMUNITY

You also came out kicking. :)

"You also came out kicking."
Actually I didn't, the kicking came another 6 years when I was beaten and raped, but it got me to change from being a pacifist to learn Karate. The Karate saved me from being bashed by three young thugs with 4 inch diameter tree limbs as clubs. Who knows what having a shotgun in our house or carrying a weapon will save me from?
