Bilerico founder calls for dirt on anti-gay Indiana lawmakers
“Now that a marriage discrimination amendment has passed the Indiana House of Representatives, apparently it’s time to put out the same call I made in 2007 that helped to kill attempts to amend the constitution until now.
“Consider this a call to gossip. I want to know the scoop. Tell me the stories that will embarrass those conservative bigots — Democrats and Republican — that are backing a constitutional ban on our formalized relationships. Send me gossip about who’s a philanderer, a kink fiend, a drug addict, a porn addict, or had a divorce, an abortion or even a stay in rehab. Ask your friends and family for the dirt. Look it up on the internet.”
Bil Browning of Bilerico, a gay blogging site, says he’s tired of Indiana lawmakers intruding on the personal lives of gay people. Bothered by a Tuesday night vote in the House to enact a constitutional ban on gay marriage, Browning wants to expose the lives of legislators in that state who are voting for this bill. He claims that in 2007 he made a similar call because of a similar anti-gay bill and says he successfully helped to kill that previous bill by exposing two such cases. (Bilerico.com)
