    Is that a gay joke?

    It wasn’t just an open secret, it was a running joke.

    I'm pissed that 30 Rock didn't cover this. Shocked that Fey missed one.

    Lauer took the right steps a few years back when he cut the scraps on his head to aproximately a quarter inch. It was a good look.

    But the next step, the stubble that is about a sixteenth of an inch? Not great. He doesn't have a good head for the Mr. Clean look.

    Trump and Harvey are the worst offenders to come to light since Cosby. All agree?

    I'm guessing she knew. How could someone with all those NBC ties and supposedly street-smarts not know?

    Because of how he votes, like the gay thing, you can not be secretly gay and vote against their issues. You can't be a whore in private and vote against ,for example, birth control issues. This is my opinion, not a law, my opinion of how people who make the rules should behave. You can not say you are one thing, and vote accordingly, but in private be the opposite of what you claim to be. Again not a legal qualification, just what I expect from my elected officials.

    And it is obviously not illegal to do these things but I think people who depend on their reputation to gain their jobs, politicians, should be exposed when they are not what they pretend to be.

    It is perfectly consistent to be gay and also believe that the Constitution does not, for example, include a right to marriage equality.

    Another example: Don't white people vote for affirmative action?

    Affirmative action shows that you don't get my point. If someone was a racist and ran on being s racist it would be wrong of them to vote for A.A. But that is not an issue that fits my sex argument, my issue is with the public/private morals and then voting opposite of what you really are.

    I am for affirmative action.
    Fuck the gay person who would deny civil rights to others.
    I also added a sentence to my original post,

    It is perfectly logical to be gay and, for example, appoint a Supreme Court Justice who would vote against a Constitutional protection of same-sex marriage.

    Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad would have voted against the Civil Rights Act in the '60s. They were against integration.
