If you are a blog reader, or even if you are not, here is a brief and thoughtful little article from The Huffington Post this week, by Hilary Rosen. Link to the full article in just a moment.

So Karl Rove's father is gay. This story has been around in the mainstream media with journalists and their editors discussing the propriety of printing such "personal" information. Now James Moore and Wayne Slater's new book on Rove, excerpted on this site, has offered unabashed proof that it is true.

So why can't we gay people just let it go?
Why should it matter? Why are we so obsessed with who is gay and who isn't? And why can't we accept that there are conservative republicans who have gay family members and still support the anti-gay agenda? Is it because we are neurotic and endless whiners with a victim mentality desperately trying to tear at the fabric of a moral and healthy society to justify our depraved choices? Maybe.

Or maybe it is because sometimes it just pisses me off that those who play politics with our lives get to keep their lives private.

Herein lies my gay dilemma for the day. Should I be nice and generous or should I act snarky? Or should I just go get my kids train set fixed like I promised and let it go?
