State Senator Roy Ashburn, a conservative Republican gay-basher who represents the Bakersfield area, “said Monday that he is homosexual, days after a report that he had been at a gay nightclub in Sacramento before being arrested on drunk driving charges while behind the wheel of his state car last week,” according to the L.A. Times.
Who knew there was a gay scene in Bakersfield?
They have their own LGBT advocacy organization. And their own social website. And they even have their own LGBT expo coming this month!
And now they have a State Senator who is at last out. Sadly, he did a lot of damage to their community over the years. Ashburn now says he was voting as his constituents wanted him to. Lame. He was living a big lie!
Ashburn will have to spend the rest of his life apologizing for what he did.
But the broader issue is that the Republican Party needs to stop hating on gays. Clearly their number includes a lot of guys in the closet. How sad.
