Busted anti-gay lawmaker reportedly seen at gay club

Talk about a bad hangover. After GOP State Sen. Roy Ashburn's DUI arrest, rumors are swirling about his sexual orientation following a report that he allegedly visited a gay nightclub.

Ashburn, 55, a father of four, represents the 18th district, which includes Kern, Tulare and Inyo counties. According to reports, police pulled him and an unidentified male passenger over in Sacramento around 2 a.m. Wednesday. Ashburn's blood alcohol level was .14 percent, .06 percent above the legal limit, say authorities. He was arrested for drunken driving, booked and released; the man in the car with Ashburn was not arrested. The state-issued car Ashburn was driving at the time of his arrest has been impounded.
