Andrew Sullivan is an HIV-positive gay man, a vocal anti-Trump activist, and is quite possibly the very first mainstream columnist to (in
1989) call for legislation extending the right of marriage to same-sex couples. At the time he was excoriated as an extreme leftist.
Of course he has just been driven from New York Magazine/Vox as an unperson:
Quote:
A critical mass of the staff and management at New York Magazine and Vox Media no longer want to associate with me, and, in a time of ever tightening budgets, I’m a luxury item they don’t want to afford. And that’s entirely their prerogative. They seem to believe, and this is increasingly the orthodoxy in mainstream media, that any writer not actively committed to critical theory in questions of race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity is actively, physically harming co-workers merely by existing in the same virtual space.
