CNN: Michelangelo Signorile Discussing film Outrage, which reveals closeted gay politicians

[WhiteFlowerLei76]

the log cabin republicans endorsed john mccain and sarah palin in the 2008 election. gay republicans are unbelievably stupid and self destructive, they endorse and vote for people who hate them.

[JOhiyoM]

You cannot hide your race or ethinicity skin color...you got a white mama and a black daddy or vice versa....your mama is Hispanic and your daddy is African American....but we can ALWAYS hide our sexuality. Out the closet but IN the closet. White Black Hispanic Asian mixed Native American....whatever. America. You are what you are just don't hide it and then work against what you are when you can't hide it.

[JOhiyoM]

what town ain't full of gay people?.....and it's sirius.....

[JOhiyoM]

the interviewer/mediator media man has a closet too....that's the way it works. I'm not fooled....

[brick4sale]

@JOhiyoM Nooo! Not my Don he's not gay!

[IndieArtistChaz]

Excellent piece Mr. Signorile! Out Rage is only outting hypocrisy, not these politicians. The guys theyve had sex with already know they are gay, its the public that deserves the full truth about the politicians who vote against equality for GLBT people. What concerns me the most, and I believe recently contributed to my being kicked off of CNN I-report website, forever, is the fact that CNN refuses to even mention the names of any of these politicians.

[IndieArtistChaz]

I see no legal implications that could affect any news organizations ability to state the fact that Crist, Koch and all the others have been exposed for what they are. I find it irresponsible and unbalanced reporting to neglect this crucial aspect of this amazing documentary.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

Charlie Crist is another Log Cabiner who will fail. We stopped Charles Stadtlander with our campaign against his dragophobia and we'll stop Charlie too.

OPPOSITE MARRIAGE

[larrymyclown]

The whole premise is a lie to call a "gay" politician who votes "anti-gay" a hypocrite. Maybe he's ashamed of his behavior and knows it's wrong and therefore votes in favor of "anti-gay" legislation.

The fact that such a person has a hard time controlling his gay behavior has absolutely nothing to do with what he knows is morally the right thing to do.

I applaud these politicians!!! They should be blessed and hopefully their maker will help them overcome their unfortunate desires.

[0Sindel12]

Wow another Christian nut. First of all yes if a person is gay and votes anti gay then they are self hating. It is the equavalent of ablack person in the KKK. You moronic Christians want gays to be self hating or pretend to be straight and marry thus aiding to the DL phenomena.

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

OSindel12 they beat their kid with a bible sometimes!

[0Sindel12]

Hell many Christians kill their kids if they do something against their beliefs. It is sad but there are peoplein my town JUST LIKE the mother from CARRIE!

[larrymyclown]

Nice try but NO comparison. To be black is to be born with dark skin. Nobody can dispute this.

To be gay is to have sexual desires for someone of the same sex. AND EVEN IF (which I disagree with) such a person is born with such a desire, nevertheless, he has the CHOICE not to act on it.

Nice try moron. No analogy here whatsoever. Would would've received an F for submitting this to your high school teacher as an example of what an analogy is.

[0Sindel12]

Wrong being gay is not a choice it is in everr liveing species. In fact there are whole all female all LESBIAN species. Check the video homosexuality in animals. Yes they are born with the desire and they have a right to have it met not live alone and miserable. Also college professor who Is my friend agrees with all of my comments. Howerver he thinks your Christian Socialist anti capitallist self is batshit crazy. No reputible or accredited scientist or psychologist shares your view.

[0Sindel12]

Also once again being gay is not a choice it is a universal variance in all facets of nature. However your Christian religion is a choice.

[larrymyclown]

i don't care if you believe in one of the 3 major monotheistic religions or not but those of us that do, believe that gay sex is a sin - end of story.

and don't bring me proofs from a university professor, which is by definition a leftist, liberal, close-minded, non-religious person.

and don't bring me scientists because the work they do proves NOTHING about who created the word and continues it's existence every second of every single day.

[0Sindel12]

Honey what you think of homosexuality dosen't mean a damn thing. Facts prove your beliefs to be bullshit. Also unlike you a university professor has facts, has reason, has studies and has evidence. They have rationality you have NOTHING. It must be conveinient to dismiss facts by saying oh they are leftist and closed minded. Well honey it makes you look stupid and by your own bible you are sinning because you are bareing false WITNESSES. You have facts an you choose to deny them.

[LoveingDeviant]

holloluia!

[0Sindel12]

Thanks!

[0Sindel12]

Also seeing you it is no wonder that Liberals and Atheist get higher IQ scores and get more degrees then Conservative Christians and liberals are the ones who end up being the university professors and the educated elites where as you are remnants of the stone age.

[0Sindel12]

Also no science dosen't prove that God exists but you are never called upon to prove a negative that is a fundimental law of logic. Also history proves that the first religion on the earth was the worship of the Great Goddess and that male gods only came at a later time. Check the good news of God the Mother videos.

[MrFrankenchrist]

LOL, another ignorant Christian loon...

Larrymyclown, seek psychiatric help

[mjkaynyc]

You say: "I applaud these politicians!!! They should be blessed and hopefully their maker will help them overcome their unfortunate desires."

It doesn't take too many brain cells to see how absurd that is.  I hope you overcome your unfortunate delusion.

[larrymyclown]

Absurd? Hmm - even without the bible i think common sense can also prevail here - for a man to insert his male organ into the anal cavity of another man for pleasure is bizarre. and since we do have a bible that calls it an abomination pretty much seals the deal.

[0Sindel12]

Also anal sex happens in all species as well. I am a heterosexual woman who enjoys it. Also no "common sense" says anything about it. Science is the final word on the matter not your imaginary sky fairy and Science says that homosexuality is perfectly normal and put into every species to prevent overpopulation. Except of course the all female lesbian species that reproduce parthenogenically like the whiptail lizards.

[0Sindel12]

Alsop your bible seals no deal. There is no rational reason to say that being gay is a sin. It is in every species, it hurts no one and is only about love. Reason is man's only absolute. In a capitallist society where man must live by his own reason not faith. You can't do this because you have no reason and thus must live by Christian socialist anti capitallism.

[0Sindel12]

Also the founding father were deists who gave us separation of church and state to prevent you collectivist, christian, socialist theocrats from getting control. Also check this video by Ayn Rand the founder of Objectivism that shows the flaws of your Christian socialism. AYN RAND's message to the GOP CANDIDATES Her word as always is the final word on any matter.

[mjkaynyc]

Do you really believe that some omniscient being -- who created everything that exists -- really cares where you put your pecker? How insecure are you?

[0Sindel12]

I think that he is so far in the closet he is in Narnia!

[dmitriygm]

yes a person can become gay through prayer just like a person can be straight through prayer

[watchdoza]

Yes... suited Michaelangelo! Very Nice... Even better what you say, fascinating... So we'll see what the movie 'does.'

[lovaizan]

mike good job looking forward to listen to the show tmw. i tought don was outta of place and rude to ya

[Cadwaladr]

Yeah, I don't know what Lemon was talking about with the hogging comment. You just answered the question. On a lot of your TV appearances, it doesn't seem to me that you get enough time, with the conservative guy blathering on, so I thought this was a good one.

And thanks for posting these; I often don't have the chance to watch them live, so I'm glad I do get to see them.

[jeffwalsh]

Good stuff... it's always interesting that they have a 24 news cycle, but they're always in a rush to go to the next segment.
