The Answer.............

I'm frequently asked why I post about the "outings" of politicians and religious leaders and I've tried to answer as honestly as I could. Today one of my BLOGMASTERS: Keith Boykin author, lecturer and political activist answered that question very well on his website:
KEITH BOYKIN




"When is it okay to out someone who is closeted and gay?"

"I've never been a fan of outing just for the sake of outing. Private citizens have the right to remain in the closet if they choose to do so. So too do public figures. But when public figures use their platform to champion causes against the civil rights of minorities, those minorities have the right to question them. And when closeted public figures use their notoriety to promote vicious homophobia, I believe we have the right to expose their hypocrisy."

"It doesn't matter if you're a preacher, a performer or a politician. Your right to privacy ends when you violate my right to liberty."

Will Somebody Please "get me outta here!"

One of America's A-list gay couples has broken up.

No, it's not Rosie and Kelli. It's Roy and Silo. Roy and Silo are male penguins. Chinstrap penguins to be exact.

About six years ago, Roy and Silo set up housekeeping together in New York's Central Park Zoo. They courted and attempted to mate and by all accounts were fairly inseparable. They even adopted a child together. Roy and Silo hatched little Tango a couple of years ago and raised her as their own.

However, recently Silo has become perhaps the world's first documented ex-gay penguin. He has moved out of his nest with Roy and taken up with Scrappy, a hot little bird who recently moved in from Sea World Zoo in San Diego. I guess he was wishing for a California girl.

And now we ask:

"Was Silo bi-sexual all along, or will he become the new poster child [penguin] for the christian group Focus In The Family, which preaches that homosexuality is preventable and treatable?"

Will the Christian conservatives who claim that March of the Penguins [the documentary of emperor penguins by Luc Jacques], supports Intelligent Design use this as a "we told you so"?

"Who is going to get custody of little Tango?"

STAY TUNED!
