I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Ken Mehlman, staunch member of the George W. Bush camp has now come out as gay. I have provided a basic link below but for an in depth look and analysis I urge you to go seek out Brody's Blog site.
Mehlman was Bush's campaign manager in 2004, and Chairman of the Republican National Committee. His time at the top of the American political structure coincided with the push against gay marriage and other damning evidence that the Republicans were anti-gay.
When you stand in crap and smell like crap how easy is it for you to bathe and claim you just didn't understand yourself at the time? Gay is not a suit coat you put on at some point in life and claim to be a well dressed man. There are many cases of individuals that rail and rant against gay issues only to hide ther own sexuality.
Mehlman was the enemy, one of the homophobic elite in America driven by the fanaticism of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. Unfortunately Mehlman still defends those in the Bush administration claiming they were not homophobic. In doing so he is still standing in that pile of crap.
I don't object to him being gay, I just don't see his coming out as redemptive. Where were you when we needed you, Ken? Selling your soul to stay in the closet? The future will tell us what kind of man he is. Saying "I am gay" is not enough for me to embrace him within the community of men who were oppressed by his former masters. Ken has a lot of public bathing to do to wash off that stink.
