Hustler chronicles the private gay life of CA Republican Rep. David Dreier
http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=468

Hustler Magazine lays bare the history of closeted gay Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) on newsstands Friday, RAW STORY can reveal.

The issue, dated for February, includes an article chronicling the rise and seeming fall of the House Republicans shining star David Timothy Dreier, a 52-year-old Californian legislator whose gay life was laid bare earlier this summer by RAW STORY and blogACTIVE.com, then picked up by LA Weekly.

Titled “CONGRESSMAN DAVID DREIER: GAY & ASHAMED,” the piece offers a handful of new details not previously reported, including a charge that high-level California Republicans have been aware of (and sanctioned) Dreier’s gay lifestyle for many years.

Hustler Magazine authorized RAW STORY and blogACTIVE to except parts of the article Thursday evening.

7. Gurly is an assistant to Ken Mehlman...........
Mehlman won't answer when asked if he's gay, and Gurly ran ads in Gay.com for group bareback (unprotected) sex, had his picture on the site, along with all his personal information. These are men who have worked tirelessly to hurt homosexuals.:thumbsdown:

9. Maybe Arnold should talk to that "Gurly-mon"
and tell him to tell Kenny-Boy Mehlman it's okay to be gay.

6. Thank you, Larry Flint. Another hypocritical sh*thead Repuke goes down...
Ooops, I guess "going down" is the wrong euphemism to use with Dreier now that we know he's an ashamed-to-be-himself homosexual.

14. I wonder if he and Arnie had relations.
Drier was following Arnie pretty close when he was running for governor.

16. David Dreier is a real scum bag
Edited on Thu Dec-02-04 11:22 PM by NNN0LHI
And I don't know why, but these kinds of stories make me uncomfortable. Not sure why. Anyone else?

21. Why do stories like this make you uncomfortable?
I don't know his voting record, but since he is GOP he probably has made anti-gay votes in the past. He deserves to be outed.

17. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
I've said it before, but Dreier deserves getting busted. He's a total hypocrite. He was my representative in CA for 12 years, and he never did a conscience vote even once that I knew of. It was party line all the way. Useless piece of garbage, gay or not gay. It doesn't really matter whether he is or not--he's a lousy excuse for a human being, and that's the important part. But when he fights measures that would end some of the maligning and intolerance of others, whether it's on gender preference, gay marriage, or simply in respect to any measure that would help make other lives better, he's never shown any sympathy or empathy. I hope this ends his reign of terror in San Gabriel Valley.

18. See? Pornographers are good!

This man has been on a private jihad for years on all things sexually hypocritical.

19. his opponent in Nov. was an "out" lesbian and she got
a dam good showing against dreier, like over 40% I think.

people here in the dems party in so cal have known about dreier for a decade but figured it was his own business with the repubs, but I for one am not sad he is outed.

I know outing makes some people uneasy, as it feeds the hysteria of the right wingers and especially the unchrist-like christians who use it for publicity for their own sordid causes.

On the other hand, the theory is that the more people know of gay people, the better the long term chance for tolerance.

24. We've got some folks in the outing pipeline
But of course I'm bound not to say. They do, however, include at least one governor, one senator, and one more bush higher-up. It remains to be seen, however, how many of our sources will stay on the record.

And you've if you've not heard about how the GOP pressured two NYC papers to keep Mehlman out of their gossip columns, read on: http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=412

26. Years and years ago...
... long before Arnie became a H'wood star and household name, there were common rumors among the gay male friends of mine regarding der Gropenator and another bodybuilder by the name of Franco Columbo (sp?). I certainly wasn't into bodybuilding and being a gay woman really had zilch interest in self-absorbed, musclebound guys, but I still remember that being the topic of more than one conversation. Who knows.

BTW, no offense meant to any bodybuilders here (re: the "self-absorbed" remark), it's just that I can't imagine anyone more self-absorbed than Arnold.
