18 And Life To Go

One wonders what Tyler Whitney's next step will be.

You can bet that someone with the 'ex-gay' ministries will offer their dubious services (possibly along with some cash - the kid would make a most excellent poster child). And, if he's a typical Republican, money and influence within the party are strong aphrodisiacs. Tyler Whitney, you are now faced with the decision of your life: Emerge into the light of truth and reality, or retreat into the murky (albeit well-paying) world of Republican loathing and denial.

I predict he will continue working for hateful anti-gay politicians in the mold of Terry Dolan or Ken Mehlman. Remember, there are a lot of gay staffers for people like Jessie Helms and Bob Dornan (in the past). Same with Justin Raimundo, openly gay and was a campaign manager for Buchanan in '94. Tom Beddingfield worked with Pete Knight to get anti-gay Prop 22 passed in Calif. There are a lot of these snakes and they aren't shy about what they do. They suck on Sat and run to the "God hates Fag" rally on Sunday. And they see absolutly no hypocirsy in it. They consider themselves 'clean' non militant gays.
