Blogger Says He Has More Names Up His Sleeve

After Craig resignation, gay-rights activist continues campaign

(Newser) – The blogger who first reported on Larry Craig’s gay cruising says he has outed 33 elected officials and staffers over the past few years and plans to name “a few more” Congress members in the coming months. And he’s issued a standing threat to expose closeted gays who oppose gay rights in their public lives, the Washington Post reports.

Many—even other gay activists—disagree with Mike Rogers' tactics, but the blogger says he’s proud to have helped oust the senator and won’t abide hypocrites. When “private lives are in direct conflict with the public policy that these officials espouse," he says, "I think it's fair game that their private lives be brought into this.”
