Among the many flaws in Yockey’s argument is that it is based on the idea that those politicians who are promoting “anti-gay activism” deserve to be outed. But determining what constitutes “anti-gay activism” is dangerously subjective. If a politician is asked whether he or she appreciates the TV show Glee and answers in the negative…can that be ascribed to anti-gay bias? Is that evidence? Of course, Yockey is not being intellectually honest when she poses such ideas as These days, vehement anti-gay activism is practically an announcement that you’re gay.

Really? How convenient…
