@MadKingNick1@ThatSeanHarding How many suspected closeted Dem politicians are there, though? Pretty sure significantly fewer than Republican ones, since being gay is far less on an issue on the Dem side, although perhaps more in red leaning places.
@MadKingNick1@ThatSeanHarding You seem to believe you have some 'gotcha' examples here, but no, *decidedly* no, I would have no problem at all for a Democrat politician to be outed if they'd habitually vote against gay rights, and I'm pretty sure @ThatSeanHarding wouldn't, either.
@MadKingNick1@ThatSeanHarding Even though I think transphobia among gay men is a highly problematic issue, it'd make no sense to out a secretly gay politician over this. The hypocricy absolutely needs to be one on one - gay on gay - to be *actual* hypocricy, so no, I would definitely not do that.
@MadKingNick1@ThatSeanHarding Denying a whole group of people you yourself belong to - and enjoy the pleasures of - their rights is not just a matter of difference in politics. It's a demonstrably destructive form of hypocricy that amounts to backstabbing, and therefore more than deserves to be called out.
@MadKingNick1@ThatSeanHarding For regular people I would agree, because it's essentially a private matter. When it concerns those who directly influence policy that negatively impacts a group of people they themselves are secretly part of, imo they've forfeited their right to privacy.
@MadKingNick1@ThatSeanHarding Then I may have misread the intent of your comment. Do you think outing closeted gay men is a good thing or a bad thing, or does it depend on the context (or not)?
@PJKnoxXX Now THIS is what it means to be a fierce ally ๐ช, not giving one single f*ck that you'll perhaps lose some paying subscribers on your spicy pages. Bravo! ๐๐๐
