Earlier this month, Ralph Nader was nominated by the Peace and Freedom Party of California. That is how he achieved ballot access in California, and Nader will be on the Peace and Freedom Party ballot there, instead of being listed as an independent. A video of his acceptance speech was posted by polidocproductions on YouTube. This is Nader’s acceptance speech.

Why is Ralph Nader still in the closet? Besides making him look sterile and dishonest, hiding his Love is setting a fascist example for the whole world. Gay Youth around the planet desperately need leadership, and the closet doesn’t cut it! An openly Gay Man with a household name running for president of the USA is exactly what the world needs right now! It would electrify our cause at home and abroad, and reset the agenda of humanity! And I dare say it would improve Mr. Nader’s life and election campaign immediately.

I sent the above to Nader’s campaign for United States President. I have not received a response. There has never been an openly Gay candidate for U. S. president with so much prominence. All of the “leading” candidates are anti-Gay. Barack Obama opposes our lives explicitly. And John McCain is even worse. There must be a campaign to out Ralph Nader!
In the 1980’s I was a PFP activist and in 1996 I was the party nominee for a U.S. Representative seat. I left the party because working with the Communist Party is absolutely unacceptable.

I’ve seen no evidence that Ralph is gay.

“There must be a campaign to out Ralph Nader!”
Even if Nader were in the closet (which is a pretty big “if”), I think you should respect his privacy and not badger him into coming out if he doesn’t feel comfortable doing so. People don’t deserve to be treated as means to an end.

gaynation – If Ralph is gay and chooses to keep it private, that’s his business. His rights trump the rights of “the community.”

Are you serious, gaynation? Take a look in the mirror every once in a while, for your one sake…
