"Come out for yourself--stay out for others"

When Ken Mehlman officially announced he is gay on Wednesday, the former Republican National Committee Chairman from 2005-2007, said he wished he had come out while he was the face of the anti-gay Republican party platform.
Good for Ken Mehlman. How difficult it had to be for him to remain closeted for so long and in such an anti-gay environment. He admitted that the Republican anti-gay strategy is a "purely cynical attempt to manipulate the American public."
With his new freedom, Mehlman plants to join the fight for marriage equality.
Way to go!
