I understand the article also takes aim at those who “skirt” around the issue or their sexuality, including Ken Mehlman.

I could care less if they are gay or not. It doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is the media and others constantly trying to force people out of the closet. It’s a very personal decision that people should make in their own time. If they never want to discuss their sexuality in public, more power to them. Let them live their lives.

Amen! The media is angry because these 'closeted' folks don't want to use their homosexuality to force changes in laws that the activists believe will benefit other, less powerful homosexuals.
