Sigh.  I have Donovan bozo'd, but I'm compelled to read him in reading 
Tom's and others' response to him.  Hell's bells.

Donovan,

In my endorsement of Nancy Chaney, you will find that I listed reasons 
to vote FOR Nancy; I said nothing about why people should vote AGAINST 
Peg.  What Rose and Tom and I have done in endorsing our candidates is 
to give positive reasons for supporting those candidates; what Dale has 
done -- via flat-out lying -- is given the paranoid dubious reasons for 
voting against particular candidates.  Are you really so thick that you 
cannot see the difference?

Or are you so blind (and, as a gay man, so bent on self-immolation) 
that you will cozy up to the gay-baiting Pastor Wilson at any price?  
In short, what in the world is the matter with you?  I really am at a 
loss to know.

PS: I am ready for you to accuse me of "outing" you.  I don't think I 
have; you've told too many of us that you have suffered untold misery 
as a fat, gay man in small, close-minded community.  (Not how I would 
describe Moscow, but to each his own.)  I have made my point: you 
cannot have it both ways, Donovan.  You cannot whine about anti-gay 
discrimination to one audience while cozying up to Moscow's most 
prominent anti-gay minister.  This can of worms must be opened, and if 
I have stepped off the moral high ground and onto the dubious Island of 
Michelangelo Signorile in order to do it, then I'm prepared to accept 
the consequences.  Time and again, Donovan, you played Roy Cohn; you 
have acted viciously toward/against the gay community while keeping 
your own nose perilously (and falsely) clean.  I will not stand for 
your abusive hypocrisy any longer.  You are a menace to this community, 
or, rather, you were.  You may consider yourself -- or, at least, this 
particular issue -- neutered.
