Tyler Whitney, the webmaster for the right-wing antigay Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo's presidential campaign, has been outed by the Michigan gay paper Between the Lines.... Last November, Whitney -- whose father was a speech writer for former conservative Michigan Gov. John Engler, who was no friend to gays -- went to a a YAF-sponsored protest against a pro-gay, pro-trans human rights ordinance and held a sign that said, "Go back in the closet!" Other signs at the protest included "Straight Power" and "Faggotry."
Whitney is 18 years old. Which raises an interesting question as to whether he's too young to be outed. Meaning, can you really commit enough sins, enough hypocrisy, enough damage to your own community by the age of 18 to justify being outed? Then again, once you read the story, your answer might just be "yes."
