This is the kind of crap that makes us look worse even.

Cause its not about a story of us in loving relationships, its not a story about who we really are.

Its a story about how the conservatives accuse us to be. It pisses me off.

I mean, certainly, sometimes we are just looking for some hot body on a boat. Hell yeah. House bois free to apply via pm.

However... we are MORE than this.

I hope Im making myself clear.

I don't look at it like this at all. He is not representative of WE or US.

He is man who has been exposed as a fraud and his hateful, anti-gay work can now be seen as charade and, perhaps, a projection of his own self-loathing.

I see this as example of what happens when you are so closeted that you have to sneak around (not that out people don't hire escorts) and make up half-assed answers (luggage handler! proselytizing!) as to why you are on vacation with an escort from rentboy.

I don't think this makes US look bad; I think it makes the Right Wingers look like hypocritical, self-haters.
