Anti-Gay Lawmaker At Gay Club Before DUI Arrest

[SoCalNative]

Sources tell CBS13 a state senator from Southern California was arrested for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning.

The California Highway Patrol pulled over Senator Roy Ashburn at 2:00 a.m. Wednesday after an officer noticed a black Chevy Tahoe swerving at 13th and L Streets.

Ashburn, a father of four, is a Republican Senator representing parts of Kern, Tulare and San Bernardino Counties with a history of opposing gay rights

When the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, the driver identified himself as Senator Ashburn. He was arrested without incident and charged with two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level higher than .08% or higher.

A male passenger, who was not identified as a lawmaker, was also in the car but was not detained.

1. Another anti-gay gay Republican.....

..... He'll probably say he was there trying to get patrons to change their ways and pray away the gay.

Self-hate is a terrible thing....

2. So what'll it be?

Wide-stance? Wrong turn? Carjacking? Drug problem (cuz that's better), Family issues?

3. He'll claim he thought the term "gay bar"...

...meant that all the patrons are happy, and he wanted to enjoy a bit of levity at the end of a long day.
