Does This "Family Values" Republican Look Gay To You?

Ah, Hypocrisy.  Where Would the GOP be Without You? cont'd

It just doesn't get much better than this.  Gay bashing, homo hating California State Senator (R, of course) Roy Ashburn was arrested yesterday morning for drunk driving.  He had an unidentified male passenger in the car.  His blood alcohol level was 0.14 (0.08 is the legal limit).  Where had he been all night?  Turns out he had been partying hard in a gay bar.

[...] West Sacto's openly gay mayor, Christopher Cabaldon, called him a hypocrite, claiming he has spotted Ashburn at gay clubs, including Badlands. Cabaldon blasted Ashburn in a message he posted to Facebook a few months ago: "It wouldn't bother me so bad to see Roy Ashburn at Badlands with a boy if he didn't have such a bad voting record on gay rights."

As Cabaldon suggests, Ashburn['s] voting record on gay issues is less than stellar. The Bakersfield Californian reports he voted no an anti-discrimination bill, legislation on out-of-state same sex marriages, Harvey Milk Day, and a resolution declaring the Senate's opposition to Proposition 8. The Bakersfield Californian has more about his voting record.  more
