Rod Jetton Opposed Repeal Of Laws Against Gay Sex, Calling It "Deviate Sexual Intercourse"

[meegbear]

On Tuesday, we brought you the story of Republican Rod Jetton's arrest for beating his mistress unconscious during sex. On Wednesday, TPM unearthed an op-ed Jetton wrote a couple of years ago and surprise, surprise - he refers to gay sex "deviate sexual intercourse:"

Rod Jetton, the former Missouri House Speaker, fired a state lawmaker from his committee chairmanship in 2007 because the lawmaker had changed a bill in order to end a state ban on gay sex -- or what Jetton called "deviate sexual intercourse."

In a 2007 op-ed he wrote for the Southeast Missourian newspaper, Jetton explained why he had recently removed Rep. Scott Lipke, a fellow Republican, as chair of the Committee on Crime Prevention and Public Safety. Lipke, he wrote, had sponsored and handled a bill to protect children from sexual predators, which Jetton supported.

But, wrote Jetton:

Lipke chose to use the bill to delete 14 words from our laws in order to repeal the gay sex ban in Missouri.

Thanks to that deletion, it is now legal to engage in deviate sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex here in Missouri. This law had been on our books for decades. Read on...

These people are unbelievable. So in Rod's mind, he can push a woman beyond her boundaries by beating the crap out of her during sex, and that's perfectly acceptable -- but if two men wish to make love...now THAT is deviate behavior. It is becoming clear why this guy was a rising star in the Republican Party.

1. I just don't get men and sex.

I just don't. Why anyone would risk everything for some sexual escapade just is beyond me. And why these guys do these sick, sick things is beyond me, too.

11. Last I checked, not all men do these things

And... it wasn't "sex", it was rape. Slight difference.

12. I'm a guy and I do not get it either.

2. Those two are made for each other. But I hope the two in the picture are never left alone.

THAT would be disgusting.

3. But diaper sex with hookers is holy for republicons...

The Republicon Senate gave one of their own Diaper-Sex Dandys a Stand O after his adulterous romper room romping...

Republicons are sooo peculiar about the, um, sex thingy...

8. He reminded me of Rainn Wilson in his mug shot too

Pictured here with Phyllis Schlafly, however, I'm reminded of Rainn Wilson's character in Six Feet Under - the socially inept, oddball funeral-director-in-training who had an affair with Mrs. Fisher.

5. Hey! The guy's obviously an expert on "deviant" n/t

[hatrack]

6. He may have also dosed her with GHB, though that's not yet confirmed

The woman's story fits the model, though - repeatedly losing consciousness, coming to with Jetton choking her, passing out, etc.

7. If Phyllis Schlafly's husband hadn't tossed and turned in his sleep,

she'd never have had children.
