Ten years ago this month an activist took direct aim at what he viewed as hypocrisy-closeted gay politicians who promoted policies that restricted gay rights. Michael Rogers started BlogActive which exposed these men. Some pundits, politicians and other Washington watchers claimed it was an invasion of privacy to reveal this information, while others thought Rogers’ actions were justified. Michael Rogers explains why he started the blog, and why 10 years later, he has no regrets. Photo: Flickr/karen_neoh
