    While I agree with outing anti-gay politicians as long as the allegations are true, I find it completely sickening that he pimps his heterosexuality as a reason to vote for him. This isn't even the right way to out an anti-gay politician. When you do this, you have to do it in a way that still supports the queer cause. Instead, he's being ambiguous. I'm not sure if he's trying to point out that his opponent is a hypocrite or if he's just trying to draw attention to his opponent's sexuality as a means of undermining him.

    Whatever the case may be, it stinks like a heterosexist outing to me, not like something that advances us as a community.
