Outings threatened against anti-gay politicians in Indiana
The Republicans, and a few wimpy Democrats, are trying to pass a state constitutional amendment in Indiana banning marriages and civil unions for gay hoosiers. This because Indiana apparently didn't suffer from the recession like the rest of the nation, so that state's legislators have nothing better to do with their time than the traditional Republican pass time of hating on minorities.

But this time, the largest gay blog in the state, and one of the biggest gay blogs in the country, isn't going to stand for it. They're threatening to out family values hypocrites in the state who rail against abortion but secretly have abortions anyway (true story), and who rail against gays but secretly have sex with their male hairdresser instead of their wife (another true story).

1. I support outing of any public figure who is anti-gay
Absolutely.

You want to stay in the closet? Fine, but you shouldn't get that privilege if you are going to use your public platform to makes gays second class citizens.

6. Do it, do it, do it, do it!
If it's a republican or a democrat who is voting against full equality for all peoples they deserve whatever it is they get.
