As I recall, that writer is big friends with Cellar Door.

They have caused the word "hypocricy" to lose all meaning.

And the BBC outed the Daleks.

Wasn't Signorile also the guy who outed Sullivan re: the barebacking personals?

I think he was.

Nasty little piece of work.

Now, I'm not completely opposed to the theory that the ends justifies the means -- I'd actually describe my own belief as "The ends mitigate the means," and there are varying degrees depending on the particular ends and the particular means. But the Left is engaging in means that in many cases far outstrip the ends, to the point where some of those means are not justifiable at all under any circumstances. The end result can only be means that are so unjustifiable, they actually taint the ends.

Sorry if that was a bit wordy, but I think you guys are sharp enough to understand my point.

Wha? Huh? Now I'm just confused. I thought Signorile was a gay Daleks - but from the name I assumed it had a fabulous chassis by some famous Italian designer. The crap that appears under that byline at NY Press must be churned out by some machine.

Good ends justify bad means, at least if you are a Leftist.

This whole "so-and-so is a homosexual" business has gotten out of hand. Anyone can claim to be one, or that someone else is one, without any proof. I thnk the government should step in and start certifiying homosexuals. Only "USDA Certified Homosexuals (tm)" would be eligible to get married, to file hate crime charges, discrimination suits, and participate in Gay Pride parades. Of course, there would be written tests, driving tests and oral tests.Maybe state DMV's could handle it. Of course, for this to work, unlicensed homosexual activity would have to be prohibitied, but that's okay, because this is good government intrusion, not the bad kind that conservatives do.

Yeah, well in some cases that's true. But it's a sliding scale. The Left has completely tossed out htat scale and is of the opinion that any leftist end justifies any means.

"How do you know she's gay?" "She turned me into a newt!"

Something like that, you mean?

.......................Nah. Too easy.

Siggy's been a load of shit forever. His first book, which put him on the Gay Hit Parade, was a total BS job about growing up "in the closet" on Staten Island. Total fiction. I went to school with him all through high school. You had to be brain dead to NOT know Mikey was a flaming fag. But the story sold on Christopher Street, and his career was made. Now he's just a nasty old queen.

Now I'm beginning to understand why Drudge stopped linking to the Mugger column and NYP disappeared from lots of people's links. Pretty nasty tactic to be acting as the platform for.

There is nothing worse than an aging queen scorned. No woman on the face of the planet can PMS as horrifically as a gay man having a tantrum.

And I say this as a gay man. The gay "community" scares the living hell out of me sometimes. Then again, these are people who think Jerry Falwell causes AIDS. What are ya gonna do.

These past thirty-five years, homosexual activists have gotten literally everything they've demanded from the political system. That the Federal Marriage Amendment has their knickers in such a twist is a significant thing. If you view the controversy as small potatoes, this is evidence of just how spoiled they've become from their prior successes. If you think the matter is important, this is evidence of just how far they'll go to suborn the critical human institution -- and how important it is that they not be allowed to do so.

Place your bets.

Wait? What's all this about gay Lileks? Signorile outed him too? Well, he is neat and aesthetically inclined---

OH! Daleks! I guess that's different then.

Never Mind.

When you're a liberal like Mikulski who believes in protecting people from the consequences of their own decisions, it's got to be tough to get 100% behind a policy change that might lead to some poor schmo finding himself married to Signorile.

And I say this as a gay man. The gay "community" scares the living hell out of me sometimes. Then again, these are people who think Jerry Falwell causes AIDS.

I think the extreme homosexual community says and does the things they say and do because they view their sexuality as the total expression of who they are. It's a "cause" in which they can take part and find some meaning. There are always people like that in any group.

And while I don't think too terribly much of Jerry Falwell, I certainly don't believe that everyone who disagrees with homosexuality is some crazed nut who wants to round people up and burn them at the stake.

Michael Signorile has employed the sort of ju jitsu that politics elicits when people think the stakes are high. But the stakes are high whenever people make decisions from the center. One great utility of federalism is that it leaves issues the States can handle to be handled by the States and permits the Federal Government to focus relatively calmly on Justice, Treasury, State, and War. Passions like those of, say, James Dobson on the one hand and Signorile on the other become fully engaged when they see both the opportunity to impose their will at the national level and the threat that their opponents will do so instead.

There's not going to be civility at the formerly federal, now national, level ever again. There won't be a moment's peace as long as the Federal Government dispenses $2,300,000,000,000 per year, generates 80,000 or 100,000 pages of nationally applicable regulation every year, passes thousands of pages of new statutory laws every year that have nothing to do with Congress's enumerated powers, empanels activist judges who overturn State laws on flimsy "Constitutional" pretexts, and threatens to undermine the federalist design of the very Constitution itself with amendments that aren't germaine to its functions.

At this point, we can vocally support civility and we can practice it ourselves insofar as others are willing to practice it with us, but we can't expect it to win out in national politics while the already no-longer Federal Government continues to consolidate its -- empire.

BoiFromTroy and I discussed outing over at our places today ... most recent post here. I write about how the arguments for outing are a combination of "social justice" (which is rational) and "anger" (which is not).

"'social justice' (which is rational) and 'anger' (which is not)"

I think anger is one of the things at the root of any claim of justice, whether social justice or some other. A theory of justice or any theory of the best human life that deprecates the passions is left without any guide for itself and without any way to guide others.

Gee... for some reason I'm suddenly thinking about blackjack.

hey i really like your site.
