Outing Mark Buse

First, pick your coverage:

Joe(fascinating comments)
Michaelangelo Signorile
blogactive
Daily Kos
Bilerico

Then, decide: should he be outed or not?

The interesting aspect of this situation is that it is more about Mark Buse than it is about McCain. Buse is the one we are after when we talk about hypocrisy. We know what McCain believes. What is unacceptable is the fact that a gay man would carry his train.

It is quite clear to me that we who are OK with outing this guy would feel the same way even if he were the Chief of Staff for Obama.

I know something about the thrill of being highly placed and closeted in a powerful organization that considers some people to be second class, and, that is homophobic. You really have no choice if you want to regain your integrity. You have to leave it.
