Michelangelo Signorile on why the boycott against gay hoteliers Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass is a “watershed moment”. “We’ve got to make it clear to the enemies of equality that we are a force with increasing public support, moving full speed ahead and accepting nothing less than equality. We’ve demanded and received support from major corporations, who’ve put pressure on politicians to refrain from an anti-gay agenda. There thus can be no double standards. Now we must send a message to those among our own — particularly those of enormous privilege — who’ve succumbed to victory blindness and let them know that they too cannot support our enemies. No abject apology can undo the message that Reisner and Weiderpass have telegraphed to anti-LGBT forces in the GOP.”
