Those Darn Gay Bloggers

Gay bloggers’ dangerous liaisons
By Jeff Gannon

DURING THE 2004 election, the Internet became a potent force in political activism. Fund-raising, grassroots organizing, advertising and communication could all be done with a mouse click at a small fraction of the cost of television spots, direct mail and phone banks.

One of the greatest technological advances in the history of civilization enabled anyone with a laptop and a DSL connection to become part of the process to decide the future of America.

But some gay activists have been exploiting this new medium to advance a political agenda that doesn’t reflect gay people in general. Instead of focusing on the key issues that affect the lives of men and women throughout the U.S., they appear bent on tearing down the Bush administration no matter the damage to the country as a result.

And this from an gay porn star (pardon me, EX porn star) who lied about his motives to gain access to the White House (how did he pull that off anyway and do I really want to know?), was an acknowledged plant to ask “soft questions” in press core meetings with the President, and to do everything in his power further an administration that took this nation into a war, all built on lies.

As far as this gay blogger is concerned, my only real agenda is advancing truth - truth about gay people and our lives - truth about Bush’s real motivations, and the truth about a nation that is on a very dangerous path.

Mr. Gannon, what is your truth? You say that gay bloggers have a “political agenda that doesn’t reflect gay people in general.” How the hell would you know? You probably don’t realize that the Federal Government still has not approved an anti-discrimination clause prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. You probably don’t realize that gays are still kicked out of the military left and right - WHEN WE ARE NOT AT WAR. Does any of that matter to you because, that is what matters to “gay people in general”.

You know, I don’t really care that you made your living in the porn industry. I don’t really care how many people you did and in what positions. I do care about some self-loathing hypocrite who will turn around and bash gay people who are just trying to make life easier for ourselves and our community by wanting, of all things, equality and equal protection under the law!

For all the time you spent with the President, did you ever once ask him about that?

As far as “tearing down the Bush administration no matter the damage to the country as a result”, I think that the Bush Administration needs no help what so ever in damaging this country and damaging our reputation to the international community.

And I’m curious... why write this column now? Trying to get your old job back?
