Boi From Troy issues a warning:

The argument that a closeted gay person working for a Republican Congressman is promoting social injustice by promoting hir/her boss and their ideas is bunk. There are scores of qualified people across the country who could and are willing to do just as good a job promoting the Congressman and his vision. Outing a staffer–and maybe getting them fired–only reduces whatever influence that staffer may have in shaping policy…and evin if that influence is incremental or nuanced, it matters.

You don’t fuck around with a person’s livelihood. Funny. Does it not escape those who out others that they are, themselves, playing with the fire of bigotry that they say they are against?
