Actually what Eredien said is this: "I think we should out queer anti-gay politicians because if we can do it right, it will confirm what we say--that being out can be the best thing that ever happened to a queer; that there's a life here to live, free of shame and free of self-hate."

Which is true. But I do think that even if it's not often possible, it's a good thought. And even from a position of average-citizen-anonymity, a flood of friendly, supportive letters to such a person would be a real improvement over tons of blogs cackling over their downfall.

I don't think they're going to read the letters or the blogs; maybe you'll change some Congressperson's staffer's mind I guess. I guess it would be interesting to try a flood of positive letters, and see what happened. It kind of feels like a publicity stunt to me, the sort of thing an organization does to look good and not to actually help the person. Maybe I'm too cynical.
