ONE CLOSET AT A TIME

It is hardly news to those with good gaydar but someone got honest with themselves and the public today.

Former RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman Comes Out: I'm Gay

I am putting this up partly because I "told you so" but more that Mehlman has a story that is much like many other closeted gay men.

The longer you stay in the harder it is to get out and have your life.

This is good for everyone. Mehlman, the Republicans, gay people who are out, gay people who are in and it is even good for the bigots to see that someone they probably supported was alright then and alright now and what the hell, let it go.

Mehlman isn't wasting any time. He is chairing a fundraiser for fighting Prop 8. Good for him. Nothing like service to make your own outing count.
