But the same cannot be said for papers in Washington. The mayor of Spokane, a former state legislator, was 'outed' for soliciting 18 year old men for sex and internships. He was known during his tenure in the legislature for opposing gay rights. He even authored a bill which failed, that would have barred gay men and lesbians from working in schools, day-care centers and some state agencies. It called for screening prospective employees for sexual orientation and firing employees whose homosexuality became known.
Sound like any Texan representative we know? Just sayin' is all.
typical
Get this:
West acknowledged heâd recently begun to seek out young men on the Internet and said he couldnât explain why. âI donât want to go into the whole issue, but I wouldnât characterize me as âgay,â.â West said.
Sure, Mayor West, seeking out young men on the internet to have sex with them isn't "gay". Perhaps he thinks he has to have a CD collection of show tunes to be "gay".
as for the members of our Legislature, anytime they protest so loudly about gays, I start looking to keep them away from teenage boys.
