You mean if I am gay I securetly want to be straight?
Rabel, my favorite Internet friend, my, you do possess quite the sense of humor, which delight me to no end. Thanks much for being you!
On a more sober note, however, there exist among us an untold number of hypocrites serving in key positions, leading double lives. The GLTB community has come a long way but prior to where it is today, society by a large margin frowned on same-sex marriages, but I'm sure I don't have to point this out to you. To be out as a gay politician would usually doom his/her political ambitions at one time; Barney Frank was the notable exception at that period in history, but he was already in Congress and finally decided to answer many questions regarding his sexuality. Frank said in an interview recently that he knew of many in the closet Gays in Congress. Punitive politicians exploits this vulnerability by playing to their narrow-minded base even though some of those slinging the toxic arrows are undoubtedly gay themselves. So the motive for these politicians' hypocrisy stems from fear of scorn within our cultural society.
