Yet another anti-gay rights leader has come out of the self hating closet. California Senator Roy Ashburn – best known for being vehemently anti-gay rights – announced that he was gay after being arrested for a DUI.

Ashburn addressed rumors after his arrest that he had been seen at Faces, a gay night club, and announced that he was gay (big shock) but it “was not and is not something that will affect how [he does his] job.

It never fails. It seems that one after another, all of the most anti-gay leaders out there are coming to realize that it is their own internal conflict and desire to hide the truth that leads them to deny the most basic rights to their fellow humans.

Disgusting, really. Hate yourself if you must. Don’t project that hatred onto innocent people who only request that we grant them the same respect and rights as everyone else.
