California state senator who opposed **** rights comes out

A conservative US state senator who has regularly voted against gay rights measures during his 14 years in office has confessed he is gay.

Linkage :0

"I am gay those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long," the 55-year-old father-of-four told KERN radio.

Mr Ashburn said he felt the need to address rumours that he had visited a gay nightclub before his arrest on suspicion of drinking and driving in Sacramento on 3 March.

Last year, Mr Ashburn opposed a bill to establish a day of recognition to honour murdered gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

He has also voted in the statehouse against efforts to expand anti-discrimination laws and recognise out-of-state gay marriages.

Mr Ashburn said he does not plan to run for any public office after his term ends later this year.

Crazy story huh? :o

well he said he voted because his constituents wanted him to, which is how the system works (sort of; youre actually elected to represent your people).

whether that is true or not, I do not know. Either way, whoever voted for him sure got misled

People like him on both sides of the political spectrum is why I declare shenanigans on politicians. SHENANIGANS!

I guess he did it for "Teh Lulz" :P

Is it just me or does anyone else find it odd that he's a father of four?

Well that's...odd. Maybe now he'll change the way he votes?
