Because if you're not, you could be unexpectedly smeared by republicans if you piss them off. Or, as in this case, they might try even if you *are* out, but it's better really to control your own surprises. A friendly article in the Advocate is a much better way for your parents or coworkers or adoring fans to find out that you're queer than, say, a news article by Matt Drudge spawned by an "anonymous" tip from a homophobic, jingoistic white house press office.
Sheesh. Apparently the new agenda for the white house press office is to publicize the administration's pettiness and fear.
This really does appear to be the week for republicans to look like total ninnies, doesn't it? Politics can be so entertaining. I haven't been this diverted since the '92 primaries, when Tsongas called Clinton a "pander bear". And those were "good guys" -- it's so much more fun when the opposition makes themselves look like jerks.
(sorry for the extreme us-centric focus of this post, folks. I just had to get this off my chest.)
