Most recently of course is George Alan Rekers (see Pit Thread) but there are so many others I’d love to have a run down. I’m hoping to make a “hypocritical asswipe on gay issues” (with a nicer name) Categories list for wikipedia if they’ll allow it) since it’s a lot more to the point than just a LGBT tab (which they’d deny anyway). George Alan Rekers
Michael Bussee & Gary Cooper- founding members of Exodus International who left the group and married each other (and at least they don’t try to claim it was a paperwork error- they’ve come clean and said “we were wrong”).
Can you think of any others? Two criteria:
1- Rumors don’t count- there must be a scandal attached
2- They have to have been anti-gay in some way (i.e. sponsoring/voting for anti-gay legislation, claiming to be ex-gay, preaching against gays, etc.)
Was Foley particularly anti-gay? If your criteria for that is, “He was a Republican; case closed,” then I guess no further discussion is possible, but I know he was a pro-choice Republican, and part of Whitman’s “It’s My Party Too” PAC, an anti-Bush group.
And who was the guy who got caught in a park restroom in Florida, whose excuse was that he gave the guy a blowjob because he was ‘a pretty big black guy’ and he was scared of him?
I remember that thread. I got to discuss entrapment by quoting from a case called Butts and point out that it was a seminal case. It doesn’t get any better than that.
If I recall, he was exposed (even if not in a court of law) as a homosexual pedophile, preying on several boy scouts who had been left in his charge over the years…
I think he is the reason that scouts in Washington State are not allowed to have overnight campouts with unmarried scoutleaders.
