What Mike Jones Did Has Value
While eating a salad at a Capitol Hill restaurant this evening I read Dan Savage’s column in The Stranger.
Savage quoted Joe.My.God who helped set up a fund to help out Mike Jones.
Jones said in an interview that he was broke and didn’t have a job since he’d given up hustling. I was shocked that no gay businesses had offered him a job and that gay organizations, especially legal organizations, had not offered him any help since he had accomplished so much, at great personal risk. Given how collectivist most gay groups are in their thinking, it is probably hard for them to accept that one man could accomplish so much on his own.
What if Jones had said, “So what if Ted Haggard is lying to everybody? It get paid. It’s not my problem that he’s conning all the Christians in his congregation and everybody else as well, including his friends in the White House.”
Details about how to contribute to Mike Jones using his e-mail (Massageandmuscle AT aol DOT com) and PayPal are in the Joe.My.God. post and Dan Savage’s post.
I’m surprised he doesn’t have a book deal yet. But I sent him $20 just because I think he’s very courageous and also because his outing Haggard gave me so much material that is right up my alley.
