- A GOP state senator with a staunch anti-gay voting record came out of the closet Monday and asked for his constituents' prayers.

"I am gay," state Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) said, breaking his silence on a conservative AM talk radio show based in his working-class California district."Those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long."

The admission ended mounting speculation that began last week when Ashburn was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving near a gay nightclub he reportedly patronized in Sacramento, Calif.

4. no longer running for congress
sounds like he would have fit in well with "the family"


"pray to God that I can find peace, and I want to go back to work in the Senate and work hard for the people who sent me to the legislature."

He said he no longer plans to run for Congress."

5. suprise... repressed conflict arises again. With Republicans they are always in inner conflict
with the truth of who they are. Hippocrits every one of them.
