Michael Rogers (publisher)
Mike Rogers is an American blogger and gay activist in the Washington, D.C.-area whose web site blogactive.com has been a focal point for outing those he considers to be closeted gay politicians who actively oppose gay rights. Recent targets have included Representatives Ed Schrock, David Dreier, and U.S. Senator Larry Craig. He also reported on Jeff Gannon's lack of reporting credentials while having White House press credentials. In September 2008, Mike outed Mark Buse, John McCain's Chief of Staff as being gay.
His blog has been discussed in the Washington Post[1] and he has been a focal point in the debate over the ethics of outing public figures.[2][3][4]
AOL news reported on May 13, 2009 that Doug McKelway, co-host of Washington, DC's Lets Talk Live, said to Rogers in a televised interview that he would like to "take you (Rogers) outside and punch you across the face."]]</ref>"Anchor Loses His Cool With Gay Activist", AOL News, 2009-05-13, retrieved 2009-05-13 {{citation}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= and |date= (help); Text "dl7" ignored (help); Text "http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2Fangry-anchor%2F478089" ignored (help); Text "link5" ignored (help); Text "main" ignored (help)
