Poor, conflicted Andrew...
Andrew Sullivan | The Daily Dish: The Closet:
Well, no wonder he and I disagree.
"Equally, the news about Mark Foley has a kind of grim inevitability to it. I don't know Foley, although, like any other gay man in D.C., I was told he was gay, closeted, afraid and therefore also screwed up. What the closet does to people - the hypocrisies it fosters, the pathologies it breeds - is brutal. There are many still-closeted gay men in D.C., many of them working for a Republican party that has sadly deeply hostile to gay dignity. How they live with themselves I do not fully understand. But I have learned you cannot judge someone's soul from outside. That I leave to them and their God, and some I count as good friends and good people."So, Sully thinks that the pathological should be given a free pass and allowed to be one of the 535 people to run the nation (well, 537 if you count Chimpy and Bozo).
Well, no wonder he and I disagree.
