Well, contrary to how things have played out in the past with closeted gay politicians, Roy Ashburn has wasted no time in re-defining his identity.
"I am gay … those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long," he said on a Monday morning radio talk show.
He defends his anti-gay voting record though, saying he’s voted in line with his district and with how they wanted to be represented. While he may be technically right to represent his district with certain votes, what does it say about a man who’s now explaining his record with the excuse of "integrity", when he’s remained in the closet for so long and chosen to not only be a Republican but a Republican politician? There’s no excuse for it. Add to that the standard "I’m a Christian please pray for me" BS that Ashburn is also peddling and you know exactly who this phony is.
