Please let it be Cornyn

Blogactive is threatening to "out" a Republican Senator tonight who has consistently voted against gay issues. I'm not a big fan of outing, but I do accept it in the face of the political hypocrisy of exploiting discrimination for votes.

Anyway, I'm really rooting for my state's shame, John Cornyn.

  • I'm am against outing people on their private sexuality. I am, however, foursquare in support of outing public hypocrisy. Like the gambling Bill Bennet, or the fake journalist on the take, this too is fair game.

  • That's exactly where I am on this.

    I really don't like like it, but if a member of a group I belonged to was involved in pushing discriminatory issues, I would feel the need to out him.

    (And how different would it be if it were not homosexuality, but a black person "passing"?)
