Yet another GOP sex scandal
Yes, another hypocritical "family values" Republican is being investigated for paying a man to have sex with him...a blackmailer no less.
If these guys were Dems, it would be front page/breaking news.
"SPOKANE -- State Representative Richard Curtis says he's not gay, but police reports and court records indicate the Republican lawmaker from southwestern Washington dressed up in women's lingerie and met a Medical Lake man in a local erotic video store which led to consensual sex at a downtown hotel and a threat to expose Curtis' activities publicly.[..]"
A cross-dressing Republican ... women's lingerie ... erotic video store ... consensual [gay] sex in video booth and hotel room ... is that it?
Dang, some Republicans have no imagination anymore! No teenage boys, animals, religious figurines, or sporting equipment? This guy should be kicked out of the GOP! He's almost normal!
These days if you aren't found dangling from a ceiling beam wearing at least two wetsuits with a dildo shoved up your nether regions, you're not considered adventurous.
Republican politicians may not have invented kinky, but they've certainly elevated it to an art form.
Rep. Curtis is married with children and has denied being gay. Sound familiar? He's going with the "helping someone" defense as opposed to the "wide stance" defense.
The best defense/excuse of all time came from that Florida Republican who offered $20 to a black man for oral sex in a public bathroom -- he said he was scared he was going to be robbed.
Some of us can't help being amused to see the parrot people fall one by one as their dirty laundry comes out into the open, because the hate mongers in the Republican party are so deadly serious about making life difficult for gays.
Yet, after all the snickers die down, as with Sen. Larry Craig, Curtis is just another sad story. It's not easy being gay in such a sexually-repressed party.
I believe in live and let live ... it's their hypocrisy that I have to speak out against:
"Elected to the state House of Representatives in 2004, Curtis has voted like a fiscal and social conservative. This spring, he voted against domestic partnerships for gay and lesbian couples. Last year, he opposed a gay rights bill that banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. - Washington Spokesman Review "
Larry Craig voted the same way. So many of these people seem to be in such conflict with themselves that they have to make other people's lives miserable only to prove how heterosexual they are.
Until all these Republican gay sex scandals, I had no IDEA that the old saying "every homophobe is a closet gay" might contain a grain of truth.
But, it sure seems that the more virulently homophobic they are, the deeper they're in the closet. This is a generalization of course, but it's true often enough to be a factor when you're sizing up somebody's character.
I'm thinking Ann Coulter........
