I still think it's a little hypocritical to call boy-on-boy chatlines, when you're on record as wanting to get rid of don't ask don't tell in order to quiz people about their sex lives and eliminate homosexuals from the military. But then again, maybe he wanted to use the "are you gay" questions in the military instead of the boy-on-boy chatlines. Or maybe he was just trying to figure out what sort of questions to ask once don't ask don't tell was lifted. If he really thinks don't ask don't tell isn't a good idea regardless of his own orientation, I think his being queer would much more interesting perspective and could give a little strength to the argument.
But like I said, I don't really like forcing people out of the closet.
