Why does it happen so frequently? Another US Republican politician who has been a prominent anti-gay legislator has come out after being caught drink-driving after leaving a gay club, has come out of the closet, reports The Australian.

And his explanation of why he voted for anti-gay legislation?

Mr Ashburn said in the radio interview his anti-gay votes were a reflection of what the majority of voters in his conservative district would have wanted.

Wow - what a pathetic excuse?

What is it with right-wingers and their closeted lives? Just goes to show that those who have the most to fear about gays are often hiding something.
