2004年布什竞选团主管，2005-2007共和党主席
现在突然出柜，成为保守党中出柜的最高级别官员。
他现在支持同性婚姻合法化
当年他当主席的时候，共和党强烈反对同性婚姻以及反对取消DADT
对于过去，他解释说：当年我还在搞政治的时候，我没有持今天的个人立场，
我真正地感到遗憾。那个时候对我来说很难。
他还说布什并不反同，但是布什的智囊团用反同的策略来吸引选票。
采访还披露了Mehlman在幕后帮助anti-Prop8团体在共和党中募捐。

The Ken Mehlman Interview
By Kerry Eleveld
KEN MEHLMAN 3 X390 (GETTY) | ADVOCATE.COM
As Ken Mehlman’s revelation that he is gay ripped through the blogosphere
late Wednesday afternoon, he boarded a plane bound for his home base, New
York City. Mehlman had first discussed his coming out story with Marc
Ambinder of The Atlantic, but he had reached out to The Advocate in advance
of its publication and made a point of offering his second interview on the

发帖数: 4174 | 3 What was the turning point for you when you came to terms with being gay
yourself – made peace with it yourself?
I always thought that it might be the case and was probably the case but I
wasn’t sure and it was something that, to be honest with you, was kind of
hard and you go through a period – at least I did – where there’s
probably some denial and probably things you’re worried about and I’m just
glad it’s behind me.
You were asked about your sexuality in the past and, for instance, there’s

made the difference in that election?
I’ve said this before, I think if you look at the 11 states where there
were marriage amendments on the ballot in terms of numbers, [Bush’s]
relative improvement versus the 2000 campaign was less than in the other
states. I think President Bush won, in my judgment, because of most
importantly national security. I think it was a national security/leadership
election, and I think that’s w |

发帖数: 4174 | 5 As a Republican, are you at all concerned about the direction of the Party?
There’s more and more conservatives coming out for LGBT equality every day
but there’s still a fight for the heart of the party and lot of people
trying to gin up fear and anger.
I think like a lot of people, there are a lot issues that are important to
me – free enterprise and lower taxes and less regulation, a strong national
defense, education reform, immigration reform – these are all things that
are important to me. |

Rogers on Mehlman: Apologize for Real
Advocate.com Editors
Blogger Mike Rogers, who had waged an outing campaign against Ken Mehlman,
talked with MSNBC host Cenk Uygur about the 2004 Bush campaign manager and
former Republican National Committee chairman who finally came out this week
.
Uygur, who expressed zero sympathy for Mehlman remaining closeted while
leading antigay campaigns, asked Rogers whether he could sympathize with
