Born at the Crest of the Empire

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"?)
