Gay life of US senator revealed

Monday 8th March, 2010
A California state senator has come out as a homosexual after many years as a staunch opponent of gay rights.
Republican Roy Ashburn has admitted to being homosexual, telling a radio audience he felt compelled to answer rumours that he had been in a gay nightclub prior to his arrest last week for driving under the influence.
The 55-year-old father of four said he owed the public an explanation as he had consistently voted against gay rights measures in the state Assembly since 1996, when he was first elected to the State Assembly.
He said he only voted that way to reflect the concerns of his constituents.  Email this story to a friend

It's sad
People like him were the reasons a lot of same sex people could not live their life as free compared to the hetero couples. Everyone should have the right to pursue their own happiness, choose their life partner and live not scared of not being hated because everyone is protected by law.
I dont blame him for hiding in the closet, he just conformed to the general perception of his constituents but it was sad he did not gave a voice to those who needed him most.
