Blade: GOP Mehlman's Closet

Today's blog posting by Washington Blade editor Chris Crain on what's wrong with the Human Rights Campaign (plenty!), contains this throwaway line:

"But to read HRC's response to my editorial, you would think Ken Mehlman had finally come out and switched teams."

So the Blade is now calling attention to GOP chair Mehlman's closet. Good!

As a pro-outing activist who once was regularly attacked by the Blade for outing closet cases, who also recalls the paper's criticism of other outing activists in the past two years, it is very interesting to see the Blade now engaging in outing. Nice to see a gay paper's position on outing evolve over the years.
