Another “DOMA GOP” politican has zipper trouble: Sen. Paul Stanley Caught in Sex Scandal

Well, it was only a matter of time, wasn’t it? According to authorities, one of our own social conservative Republicans has been caught cheating on his wife, and he was doing it with a young legislative intern. At this juncture, we’re going to resist the temptation to make a joke about family values. That’s getting so old it’s not funny anymore.

Suffice it to say that like John Ensign, Mark Sanford and all the rest on the national stage lately, this one is really rich–with a little homemade porn and a bumbling blackmailer tossed into the story to make it even spicier. Ensnared in Tennessee’s own sex scandal tonight is Sen. Paul Stanley, the wingnut from Germantown who has crusaded to ban gay adoption of children and who once made the really stupid mistake of saying: “When you’re married, there’s a commitment there.”

According to court documents, here’s what happened: Stanley, who is married with two children, was having an affair with his 22-year-old legislative intern, McKensie Morrison. Morrison’s boyfriend, Joel Palmer Watts. 28, discovered a computer memory disc with sexually explicit photographs of Morrison that appeared to have been taken in Stanley’s apartment. Watts then blackmailed Stanley, demanding $10,000 in return for keeping quiet about the senator’s relationship with his intern.

Gay Pride festival takes hopeful stance

NYACK - David Blau, a Nyack resident who has been with his partner for 28 years, said it’s a matter of time before New York joins a group of six states that allow same-sex marriage. But, aside from that, he added, “I would like to see a change, but … my partner is my partner and no one can change that. That’s how I feel.”
Blau and many others at Gay Pride Rockland’s 11th annual festival, held yesterday in the Riverspace Arts theater parking lot, voiced their hope that same-sex marriage would become a reality in the state, but added that they weren’t holding their breath.
“We’re definitely more hopeful, but I still don’t think it’s going to happen,” said Laurie Blase of Garnerville. “I think it’s still going to be a while.”
In May, the state Assembly passed legislation to allow same-sex marriage - the second time in two years the Assembly approved such a bill. See Gay Pride festival takes hopeful stance
