Adamfoxie" has writen and posted about this subject several times since it happened. I am glad to post now from gay.net in which they describe the issue from their end. My question is. Where is the straight media??

First God made Adam and Eve and bisexual dolphins and then he made Rick Perry, but unfortunately he forgot to give him a brainy kind of brain (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Hey mistakes happen, so on Wednesday—following the advice of St. Clare, patron saint of television—God made everything right again and gave Perry something invariably better than a working cerebellum: a brand new presidential TV ad that, among other vile things, pits Christians against openly gay men and women in the military.
And we’ve heard and seen so much about it, airing across screens in a world where homophobia is rapidly losing its popularity. But two gay conservative leaders, GOPround’s Jimmy LaSalvia and Christopher Barron—who once said "Among gay conservatives, she [Ann Coulter] is an icon. We could not think of anyone who we would want to party with more."—took it pretty hard, feeling that maybe something was wrong with the way the ad threatens to further marginalize the LGBT community.
Whether or not LaSalvia and Barron figured out that they can’t have it both ways—actively embracing gay rights while taking the current batch of Republican presidential candidates seriously—they launched a series of bitchy tweets into cyber-space, effectively outing one of Rick Perry’s top strategists.
"I've just about had it with faggots who line their pockets with checks from antigay homophobes while throwing the rest of us under the bus," LaSalvia wrote on Twitter Wednesday.
“So Rick Perry thinks that the service of tens of thousands of patriotic Americans is what’s wrong. No Governor, it’s you that’s wrong,” LaSalvia added.
Soon thereafter, Christopher Barron clarified that LaSalvia was tweeting about Tony Fabrizio—of Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates—a gay man who just so happens to have a “solid history of working for top-tier Republican politicians,” reports The Advocate.
In a statement emailed to The Daily Caller Thursday, Barron said Perry’s ad is most certainly “beyond antigay,” as if we already don't know that.
"If Governor Perry honestly believes that one of the 'problems' facing our country today are the brave gay and lesbian women serving in our military who put our life on the line every single day for our freedoms, than he lacks the moral authority to be president," Barron said in a statement. "This ad plays to the cheap seats, appeals to the absolute worst in people. and is exactly what one would expect out of a desperate campaign entering its political end days."
