Online "Outing" Claims Success Over Marriage Amendment
Touchy Subject Today - but a great example of online activism
D.C. Political Activist Michael Rogers is very excited about the Senate's rejection of further action on the proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. In fact Rogers is crediting his online effort as part of the reason why the amendment failed to gain traction.
According to the Washington Post his online efforts included sending out more than 10,000 e-mails encouraging and perpetrating outings. The e-mails aksked people to send in names of gay Hill staffers "working for senators and representatives who supported the Federal Marriage Amendment."
Rogers also created a blog last week listing some of those names.
Way to go Rogers, some might say there's nothing like helping gays by getting a few of them irked at you and exposing them to ridicule.
