Tapsearch Com EditorWho's my little hypocrite?

It's too bad Andy McCarthy couldn't have posted this statement yesterday, when I was still blogging on hypocrisy expert Jeremy Lott's blog:
Uh, no, they wouldn't, because hypocrisy is preaching that everyone should act in a given way, but failing to do so yourself. There's nothing hypocritical about thinking something should be legal but choosing not to do it. Otherwise I'd be a hypocrite for opposing a ban on tackle football.
If by contrast someone believed everyone should be gay, yet chose to be straight himself, that would be hypocritical.
Would anyone call a heterosexual who favors gay rights and gay marriage a hypocrite?
