Michael Rogers (activist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

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]
