Withers: Top 10 gay anti-gay politicians
You know it’s bad when Mark Foley [1] and Ted Haggard [2] can’t even be in the top five. For a little humor go examine the top 10 list of anti-gay politicians caught doing the gay. [3]
They are all there, from Larry Craig [4] and his bathroom antics to good ol’ Roy Ashburn [5], who voted against rights for gays and immigrants but was enthralled with Latino male tail (who isn’t?). Some of these guys are really low-down dirty dogs. There is Richard Curtis [6], a Washington State representative who voted consistently against domestic partnerships and discrimination laws. How did his sodomy loving ways come out? He hired an escort (no problem there), but reneged on the agreed upon price. Really Curtis? That’s so not classy and rather cheap. Glad the working lad had pictures of you in sexy red negligee.
Then there is creepy Bruce Barclay [7], although his creepy nature saved him from living as a guest of the state. He and a young guy had some booty time. The young thing called it rape. The authorities were called in. Mr. Barclay had many videotapes preserving his sexual conquests, filmed without the consent of his fellow actors. The tape didn’t show rape; however, if you meet this guy in bar and want to give him shot, take him to your place.
Go check the list out. Any glaring omissions? Any problems with the order?
