    I don’t think there is any valid excuse to force somebody to “come out of the closet” against their will, even hypocrisy. It’s their choice to come out, not anybody else’s.

    I would expect that gay men, given the massive prosecution that they’ve been subject to in the past (and still are in many countries nowadays), would share that feeling, but maybe it’s because I’m from a generation that grew up at a time when homophobia was absolutely normal and later lived in places which weren’t like that at all were I’ve met gay men who had left their own countries in order to be able to be with the people they loved, and were I figured out just how unfair and casually nasty I had been in the years before.

    Doing this kind of thing thinking you’re holding a high moral ground because the other person is in some way immoral is exactly the kind of thinking extreme religious types have when they go after, amongst others, homosexuals.

    As much as I dislike conservatives, I dislike even more doing this shit to somebody and the kind of person who would do so.

      Fuck that. People have a right to know if the people that make being gay illegal are also then criminals themselves.

      If a bloke supports stripping of my rights, why would I respect his? Let him see what it’s like. May be he’ll learn a lesson, or at least be an example for others.

      Alternate take: Don’t vote for hate and ask for love.

      yeah, fuck that. if you’re spewing hatred and trying to control women directly or indirectly, you get what you fucking deserve. you couldnt leave people alone to live their lives without forcing your way in, so fuck you, open that closet door and expose them for their hypocrisy and bigotry.

      them being gay isn’t the problem, they could have chosen happiness also and treated people the way they wanted to be treated, but injecting your hatred to a topic that you yourself are in? some single digit IQ moves.
