Gay Advocate Fired For Exposing Page Scandal
As noted at National Journal's Technology Daily this morning
A gay rights group on Wednesday fired one of its employees after it was discovered that he had created a blog that published copies of the suggestive e-mails that former Rep. Mark Foley sent to a teenager.
The New York Times reports that the Human Rights Campaign said it first learned of the employee's actions this week and immediately fired him for misusing the group's resources.
After the messages appeared at Stop Sex Predators, ABC News released its own independent report, which resulted in the disclosure of more sexually explicit messages from Foley, R-Fla., to House pages.
The creator of the Web site declined requests sent by e-mail to identify himself after news of the scandal broke. Instead, he posted a message urging the news media to ask questions about "when the Republican leadership knew about it, what they did, how they were connected, what favors took place, etc."
