Former fake reporter and hustler Jeff Gannon recently took a minute from being a charlatan to defend Tyler Whitney.
Of course you all remember Whitney – the 18-year old homophobe/Republican campaigner who works for Tom Tancredo. Speaking out against schmucks like us, Gannon blasted:
The angry gay left continues to practice the politics of personal destruction. These hatemongers are so threatened by an 18-year-old guy who doesn’t want to live his life on the pink plantation that they have to try to destroy him. Kudos to Tancredo and his staff for standing up for him. Maybe Tancredo isn’t as ‘anti-gay’ as the angry gay left wants its sheeple to believe.
Well, we suppose it’s how you define “anti-gay,” Gannon.
Tancredo voted yes to ban gay adoption in Washington DC. Tancredo voted twice to ban same-sex marriage, a position of which his website says:
Activist courts have ignored the principal legal argument that the state’s interest in marriage is procreation. Population is power. Society needs a young generation to defend the country in battle, to support its programs with taxes and to carry on its culture and traditions. The mere fact that two people are in a loving relationship does not matter to the state. Society supports traditional marriage because it is the only union which, in the ordinary course, leads to children, without the intervention of a third party.
Alright, maybe not explicitly anti-gay, but definitely doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room. Also, reeks of Peter Sprigg’s dehumanizing op-ed on gay marriage.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
As for going after Whitney – maybe we’ll be able to shock him out of the GOP and knock some sense into that young head of his. Obviously he’s misguided. We don’t want him ending up like you, Gannon – that is, lying to the nation, working as a prostitute and wishing he could suck the president’s dick.

Sounds like Jeffy needs some major therapy.
nycstudman
guy got booted from Washington blade as soon as Chris Crain left, so now he relies on a DC blog to get his hate speech out and Queerty enables him by repeating it. How about just ignoring this tool?

Could someone tell me why anyone in their gay mind would want to be a conservative? Libertarian, ok, but a conservative?
BillieXX
cjc,
maybe because a gay person believes in a conservative ideology?
nycstudman
cjc, did you know that in the early 1930s there were Jewish Nazi sympathizers?

Does Gannon still really believe he is relevant to anyone other than himself?
Anywho, one hooker is backing Tyler, who next? Matt Sanchez?
unclemike
cjc, because some people think equal rights are less important than getting an awesome tax return.
My civil rights, for one, are not for sale.

Tyler Whitney is just like Jeff Gannon and Cpl Matt Sanchez. None of them are going to change any time soon. They have each followed a path of becoming MORE anti-gay. If you’ve been following the Matt Sanchez case (the Marine porn star) – he now writes for ultra-right-wing sites and is extremely anti-gay (calling for gays to be killed at one site). These guys are your typical frat boy types who have no problem with gay sex but feel superior to other gays who they see as dirty, fag, scum. The only way to defeat these slime is to constantly expose their hypocrisy.

BTW, why does our community seem to have a monopoly on these psychos? I’ve never heard of a young ambitious African-American webmaster working and campaigning for David Duke or the KKK. What about a cute devout Jewish boy working on Farrakhan’s staff. Why do these freaks only manifest in the gay community? Do we coddle them too much?

Carlos22 – have you forgotten about Clarence Thomas already? And Farrakhan has his Jewish supporters. Google Neturei Karta for a peek. Collaborators come in all colors and genders. We aren’t that special.

If you check Tyler’s Facebook friends list right now, guess who is right up there near the top? Yep, Kyle Bristow, the guy who called for gays to be imprisoned and executed. I guess Tyler is a special exception.
