382. is the "gay community" the equivalent of the united states
in your example? a hegemonic superpower intent on imposing its version of "morality" on a smaller, less powerful "enemy" who poses absolutely no threat to the superpower? or would the "moral majority" be the more appropriate villian in your analogy? seems to me it would. so...would we expect hussien, and the iraqi people to simply give up and not fight US, simply because we so believe in the "morality" of our mission? if the "outing" is based on a LIE, like the one used to justify the war on iraq, i could see your point. however, i think it's more realistic to view dreier's possible outing as self-defense, again using your analogy.
