Was it something she said?

Tammy Bruce was asked to write letters to the Presidential candidates, and The Advocate would publish the one addressed to whichever candidate won.  Her letter to Obama was published, and the readers didn't like it.

So I wasn't surprised at all to find on the Advocate's website comments on my article that were vicious, misogynistic and even somewhat threatening. Even just one letter of dissent is apparently too much for a community which demands acceptance from everyone else. I also know because moderate or conservative POVs are not usually offered by the gay press, moderate and conservatives gays simple don't read magazine's like The Advocate, leaving a ghetto readership of leftists and liberals, hence, the malevolence in the response to my article.

Keep in mind, the hate coming from the anti-hate, liberal, tolerant Gay Gestapo as I term it is also meant to send a message to anyone else who might dare to not conform, so I'm asking that you submit a comment to help send a message to young people who read this that many people, gay and straight, do think differently and it's okay. Starting with my first book "The New Thought Police" (7 years ago now!) I'm determined that we make sure that no gestapo makes it too dangerous or threatening to speak out. This is especially important for minorities and all of us who think freedom of expression, being different and the importance of individualism aren't just slogans for the latest protest or banner.

The editors of The Advocate should be praised for being willing to include a conservative POV in this article. Let's make sure they're not frightened away from doing so again by a bunch of Thought Police thugs.
