Comments on: Rudy Giuliani “Emphathetic” Toward Homosexuals http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/12/09/1126 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 23 May 2013 12:09:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Timothy Kincaid http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/12/09/1126/comment-page-1#comment-4812 Timothy Kincaid Mon, 10 Dec 2007 19:48:13 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/12/09/1126#comment-4812 I'm not thinking that Rudy was being hypocritical. His church thinks that we commit sinful acts. His church doesn't recognize his divorces and thinks he is committing sinful acts with his wife. I think "empathize" is a very accurate term for how Rudy sees gay "sin". <blockquote>em·pa·thy 1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.</blockquote> Rudy can identify because he's in the same boat as we are. I’m not thinking that Rudy was being hypocritical.
