Noted gay advice columnist Dan Savage weighs in this week on the rather strange case of 18-year-old Tyler Whitney, a self-professed up-and-coming conservative activist who currently works as a webmaster for GOP antigay presidential candidate, Tom Tancredo. Whitney also reportedly leads an antigay political group on his college campus and has carried a “Go Back in the Closet!” sign at an antigay protest.
Recently, Between the Lines, a gay newspaper in Michigan (who knew they had one?), published a story that noted Whitney has told some friends that he is gay, which was then picked up by loads of national gay bloggers, including Mike Rogers, the gay editor of BlogActive, a blog that’s outed at least two dozen high-ranking political figures since 2004.
Bay Buchanan, an adviser to Tancredo, has said that Whitney’s “sexual preference is a personal matter” and that it should have “nothing to do with the campaign.”
But Savage disagrees:
“Sorry, Bay, but gay-bashing thugs—people like you, your horrible brother Pat, your vile candidate—can’t have it both ways. If Whitney’s sexual preference is a personal matter, then so is mine. If Whitney’s sexual preference shouldn’t have anything to do with the campaign, then neither should mine—nor should the sexual preference of any other American. But so long as the GOP attacks gay Americans, Whitney’s sexuality—and his hypocrisy—has everything to do with the campaign.”
Hmmmmm. Hypocrisy among politicos. Now where have we heard about that before?

What’s astounding is that Tyler looks at all gay issues as ’special rights’ issues. He opposes gay marriage, any type of employment protection, and even gay adoption!! I have no problem with a person’s beliefs of exclusion, whether to keep Blacks from voting or gays from marrying, but the least Whitney could do is explain why he practices the sexual part of the ‘lifestyle’.
Gay Republicans have had a long history of demonizing and ridiculing any type of civil rights equality. Yet, they are always the first in line to take advangtage of the benefits. They are not self-hating, but instead full of themselves and self-righteous to the point of getting off on the suffering of other gays.
This kid is all over myspace, but you have to be a friend to view.

Somebody should ask anti-choicer Pat Buchanan why HE HAS NO KIDS!
Pat Buchanan has no kids because he’s GAY.
It was better when being a homosexual was a treatable mental disorder. Now we don’t even say “homosexual”, they have perverted the word “gay” and made being a deviate a cool, hip lifestyle. When will this country wake up?
