Many gays do not support the whole "gay marriage" agenda - check out Tammy Bruce, for an example http://www.tammybruce.com/.

Hey, at least that's not a broad generalization or anything. I mean, you realize that in light of the abortion debate, or, I don't know...ummm wiretapping without a warrant, etc - that one could also make an (in my opinion) rather asinine comment about the boogey-man "conservatives" that "want to give people privacy, all right. Until it cuts across their own agenda...." and it would have about as much merit.
Once again, its not about their position. Of course there are gay people who aren't in favor of gay marriage. This is about honest and hypocracy in terms of the position they adopt, and how they represent themselves. The "homosexual" aspect, in my opinion at least, isn't really *that* crucial. I'd have the same opinion if someone was a staunch supporter of the Drug War and MADD, and it turned out they were a heavy drug user who routinely drove drunk.
In fact, I find the sensationalist hype surrounding these disclosures to be an interesting reminder of how homophobic we are as a society. In the above example of the drugs / DUI - the reaction would be nowhere near this severe. Of course, the fact that you can successfully run for office on the "traditional marriage" slogan is a pretty strong indicator of our social homophobia in the first place.
