Rogers isn’t the first activist to embrace this kind of behavior. In February 2005, The New York Times used its op-ed page to out the children of several prominent conservatives.

These people are not public figures. They’re not even necessarily conservatives. But because they associate with people who are, their sex lives become fodder for left-wing blogs and gossip rags.

This is how liberals demonstrate their renowned commitment to gays’ dignity. As long as the homosexual in question embraces the left-wing agenda, they are safe. If he dares to express dissident views – or spends time with people who do – liberals will investigate his private life, find out what kind of videos he rents, and report the results as if they were front-page news.

So much for privacy.

I want to finish by saying that I generally support gay rights. The idea of homosexual marriage doesn’t bother me one bit, and I’ve already written columns voicing my support for gay adoption. I strongly believe that what goes on between adults, in their own homes, is none of the government’s business. But I also believe it’s none of Mike Rogers’ business.

Once again, the gay rights activists have shown their moral bankruptcy.
