Maddow on yet another gay anti-gay activist

Been gone for a while. Very large work project. Very much one failure after another. Know what perks me up a bit after a bad week like this one? Why, a little bit of schadenfreude, of course!

I for one am shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that yet another prominent anti-gay activist is gay. It’s hardly news at this point that the people most prone to witch-hunting sexual outgroups, are people in those outgroups who develop self-loathing when certain elements (their religion, their parents, their political party) convince them that their proclivities are abnormal.

As Maddow points out, though, this anti-gay activist’s newsworthiness has nothing to do with his homosexuality — there’s nothing wrong with that intrinsically. It’s his hypocrisy and his Uncle Tom status. It’s like Ann Coulter fighting against women having the vote despite being, ostensibly, a woman (though she’s disguised her gender enough with her ambiguous adam’s apple that it’s possible she’s not!).

    It always makes me sad when I hear about one of these guys, so fucked over by the religion/culture they were raised in and cling to, closeting themselves and trying to prove to themselves they aren’t gay by being the biggest anti-gay crusader they. And failing.

    Then I remember that while the guy may not have chosen to be gay, he did have the choice to stay with his bigoted religion or culture, he had the choice to remain closeted, and he certainly had the choice to act as a giant bigoted asshole. That tempers my sympathy a bit to where I can give a hearty Nelson Muntz laugh and enjoy the resulting schadenfreude, watching his ex-allies among the regressive elite scrambling to distance themselves from him. Fuck them and fuck him, at least until he admits who and what he is and gets on with living his own life. I’ll show him some mercy once he shows a bit of humanity and stops being such a hypocritical dick.

    Yeah. I understand that — being sad about the person having been so damaged, but at the same time outraged that the fucker is going around doing the same kind of damage to others. It’s a vicious cycle, and it’ll only break once people realize that it needs to be broken.

    I know! I mean, I hadn’t heard of them myself, but I’ll be sure to keep them in mind next time I need to carry luggage and get frequent massages.
