Here's a list of 10 conservative anti-gay activists who turned out to be gay themselves.
1. Troy King
This top entry, Alabama Attorney General Troy King, plays itself out in beautiful symmetry.
Knownfor his vocal opposition to gay rights and for his attempt to outlawsex toys, King was caught by his wife while having sex with a localhomecoming King (see what we did there?) from--wait for it--TroyUniversity.
Someone get the mascot over here and have it do a little dance.
2. Jim West
SpokaneMayor Jim West has worked really hard to debilitate gay rights in hiscommunity. He supported a bill to ban gays and lesbians from working inschools, daycare centers, and some state agencies, as well as a billthat bars the state from distributing pamphlets informing people how toprotect themselves from HIV/AIDS.
He's proposed that "any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person" among teens be considered a criminal act.
However,for 25 years, West was having sexual relationships with boys and youngmen from his community and was, before he was caught, frequenting thevery incognito website--just to show you his ninja skills--gay.com
Allunder the covers, of course. He even offered to find boys he'd"befriended" jobs with the city of Spokane in exchange for sex.
Some handcuffs, please. And no, not that kind.
3. Richard Curtis
ThisWashington State Representative has an anti-gay rights votingrecord--he voted against domestic partnerships for gays and opposed abill prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Ohreally now? Well, it wasn't before long that Mr. Mega-Compensationresigned from the House due to reports of his sexual encounter with amale escort being made, you know, "public" and all.
The reputedmale prostitute, Cody Castagna, with whom he was cavorting, told policethat Curtis offered him $1,000 to have sex with him and that Curtispurchased two gay pornographic films from the hotel for them to watchin his room.
Even more, this all went down with Curtis wearing ared negligee and Castagna has pictures to prove it. Pictures he onlytook as revenge when it was discovered that Curtis only had $200 in hiswallet.
That's something to smile about. For us.
4. Bruce Barclay
BruceBarclay, the Republican commissioner of Cumberland County,Pennsylvania, is practically the gay porn star of politics. Due to anallegation of rape by 20-year-old male Marshall McCurdy, policeobtained a warrant to search Barclay's home on March 31st.
They didn't find evidence of rape.
Instead,they found videotapes of hundreds of sexual encounters with men thatBarclay filmed on high-tech surveillance cameras. It was apparent thatBarclay and McCurdy had consensual sex.
It was also apparent that his personal Republican stance was not as right-wing as he'd led people to believe.
5. Roy Ashburn
OnMarch 3, 2010, this conservative California State Senator, who alwaysvotes against any gay-rights bills, should have just stayed in for thenight.
But then again, if he did, he wouldn't have accidentally outted himself in such a grand way.
As the story goes, after leaving a gay bar with an unidentified man, Roy Ashburn was arrested for DUI.
Despitehis classy reveal, the point is this: he left a gay bar with anunidentified man. Since then, Ashburn has admitted that he's gay toKERN radio host Inga Barks, but that his voting record reflects his"responsibility to [his] constituents".
Kinda feels like he has a whole new demographic of constituents now that could use a liiiittle more help.
6. Larry Craig
FormerIdaho Republican, Larry Craig, who served 18 years in the U.S. Senate,supported the Federal Marriage Amendment which banned marriage rightsto same-sex couples and has a 0 rating from the Human Rights Campaigngroup.
His rating for lewd conduct, however, was raging highwhen he was arrested at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airporton June 11, 2007 for cottaging an undercover police officer.
A male undercover police officer.
Can the HRC give out negative ratings? Please?
7. Ed Schrock
EdSchrock vehemently opposed gay-rights issues during his two terms inCongress. From same-sex marriage to allowing gays in the military, hewas 100% against anything gay happening anywhere on, or near, the grid.
Meanwhile,off the grid: August 30, 2004, Ed Schrock dropped out of the race forhis third term in Congress after being caught on tape soliciting sexfrom a gay prostitute.
Don't know why it was so incriminating hedidn't even run, he could have just said what the next guy did when hegot caught for the same thing...
8. Robert Allen
Thetruth comes out in a public restroom yet again. Florida StateRepresentative, Robert Allen, was arrested for offering to performfellatio to an undercover cop in the men's room of a park for $20.
Thepolitician backed himself up by saying he only offered the policemanoral sex because he was afraid of black people and "didn't want tobecome a statistic"... which makes about as much sense to us as it doesto you.
Statistics, though, show that Allen--who is married with children--has always voted against gay rights legislation.
His voting record is over 90% in line with the Christian Coalition, an advocacy group for anti-gay amendments.
Hehas achieved quite a bit, though, in going from anti-gay, to racist, tohypocrite, all the way to contradictory math error all in one day.
Hats off!
9. Ted Haggard
Knownas Pastor Ted to his congregation at New Life Church in ColoradoSprings, Colorado, Ted Haggard was outed by prostitute, andprofessional masseur, Mike Jones in November 2006 for paying him toengage in sex with him for three years.
He was also purchasing,then using, crystal methamphetamine ("Crystal Meth", for all the kidsout there) with his pay-for-play partner.
Haggard had supported Colorado Amendment 43, which bans same-sex marriage in the state.
In his own words, he's not a homosexual, he's just a "heterosexual with issues."
10. Mark Foley
Oh, Mark Foley.
Aman formerly in charge of the House Caucus on Missing and ExploitedChildren (which dealt with legislation protecting Americans againstsexual predators, and made stricter guidelines for tracking them) wascaught having unlawful internet conversations via IM and email with twoformer pages (aged 16 and 18... oh, the irony).
Later, two news organizations quoted anonymous former pages saying they had sexual liaisons with Foley after turning 18 and 21.
Foley'sanswer to this, after all was said and done (through his lawyer), wasthat he had never "ever had inappropriate sexual contact with a minorin his life" and that he is "absolutely, positively not a pedophile".
Hislawyer also said that Foley was a victim of sexual assault by an(unnamed) clergyman as a child and that the inappropriate conversationshe had with the pages were due to alcoholism. Which is all a prettyconvenient way to promote the right-wing "gay = disease" angle whilestill going down in flames.
His lawyer also stated that Foley isgay, even after Foley described even the thought of early allegationsof his homosexuality as "revolting and unforgivable".
Apparently, his homosexuality had been an "open secret" in Washington for years.
