How does knowing about a particular case of living a lie actually improve the quality of your decision? How is straight/anti-gay better than double-life/anti-gay, given equal political stances and actions?

Reading your efforts here, I wonder if even you know, how much of your opinion is shaped by the financing of Richard Mellon Scaife, via AIM, continued today by
L. Brent Bozell III, protege of Reed Irvine?

HORRIBLE COVERAGE OF A HORRIBLE MURDER
By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid
April 6, 2001
.....The Washington Times reported that the only network to report on the Dirkhising trial was the Fox News Channel. The Shepard case made front page news and the cover of Time. Politicians and Hollywood types joined forces to demand new hate crime laws to cover homosexuals.
The media deny there is a double standard. A spokesman for ABC News called it "a local crime story that does not raise the kind of issues that would warrant our coverage." Time's Jonathan Gregg has said: "The reason the Dirkhising story received so little play is because it offered no lessons. Shepard's murder touches on...intolerance and the pressure to conform, the use of violence as a means of confronting one's demons. Jesse Dirkhising's death gives us nothing except the depravity of two sick men."
Wrong! The Dirkhising case <b>shows that sadism and child abuse is an important part of the gay lifestyle. That is the dirty secret homosexuals refuse to publicize. They have enormous influence within the media.</b> A homosexual New York Times reporter has said that three-quarters of the people who decide what's on the front page of the New York Times are barely-closeted homosexuals.

NYT Obit: Reed Irvine, 82, the Founder of a Media Criticism Group, Dies (The Times plays catch-up)
New York Times ^ | November 19, 2004 | MICHAEL T. KAUFMAN
.....He was moved to found AIM by his disgust at the coverage, primarily by television, of the 1968 Chicago Democratic convention, where he felt that the networks were unduly sympathetic to antiwar protestors.
Within a decade of the group's beginning, AIM and Mr. Irvine had succeeded in forcing attention on themselves and their agenda. He appeared on many television panel discussions. He questioned editorial decisions at annual stockholder meetings of major newspapers and journals. He demanded and sometimes received the right of rebuttal on television documentaries. He was invited to present his complaints at regular meetings with senior executives of news media companies, including The New York Times.
Mr. Irvine's own weekly column was syndicated to some 100 papers. He and his organization attacked not only the editorial emphasis, or play, given to particular stories but also the choice of reporters and newscasters, whom they accused of conflicts of interest or ideological bias.
Mr. Irvine's initial strategy relied on writing letters to editors, but when this yielded no response, he began buying advertising space for his rejected letters. He also bought shares in news media companies to be able to voice complaints at their annual meetings.
The organization reached the peak of its influence during the Reagan administration, when its paid membership reached 40,000 and its budget was $1.5 million.
In those years, AIM was powerful enough to help shape nationwide television programming. One of its most visible successes came in 1985, when PBS broadcast "Television's Vietnam: The Real Story," an hourlong documentary produced by AIM. The documentary was a rebuttal to PBS's 1983 series "Vietnam: A Television History," which AIM attacked as being overly sympathetic to the North Vietnamese. .......
