Huh.
Anti-gay rights California Sen. Roy Ashburn comes out as gay
During his time in California's Senate, Roy Ashburn voted against every single gay rights measure that came up. That made the story of his arrest two weeks ago -- he was pulled over for drunk driving after leaving a gay bar, and he had another man in the car with him -- more than a little interesting.
On Monday, Ashburn admitted to what everyone had pretty much figured out now.
"I'm gay," he said in a radio interview. "Those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long." The Sacramento Bee's Capitol Alert blog reports that Ashburn explained that he voted the way he did on gay rights because he felt that's what the voters of his district wanted.
I love that hatpin article and its title "The truth about the hatpin situation."
I'm starting to think the entire Republican Party is gay, closeted and self-hating.

How big of him. He's a man of such principle that he puts the feelings of the people ahead of his own personal leanings.
We need more politicians like that.
@@ Punk coward.
For Jilli--a hundred-year-old article on the evils of hatpins.
Hee! Oh, that's wonderful.

Then I would suggest, sir, that the voters of your district are assholes.
I just got shirty with the accounts person from the hospital. They called me about our balance--which I know for a fact the payment cleared out bank account last week. So I called them back and she started her bit about could I pay the rest of the balance and when could they expect payment. I told her the amount was paid in full and had already cleared our account. She then hemmed and saw that it was ready to post on their system. Why wouldn't they check that shit before they waste a phone call on me?

If he campaigned on being against gay rights, I can't complain that he voted that way, but I can call him a coward for not standing up during the campaign.
Is Woody Allen an actor?
I think only in his own movies.
