Another Gay Republican Hypocrite

Spokane Mayor Jim West was a consistently anti-gay vote when he was in the Washington State legislature. Recently he took a leave of absence from his job after being outed and accused of using city resources to solicit young (and possibly underage) men for sex. Typically, now that he is out, he is trying to avail himself of all the legal rights and protections he was so vigorously against when he was closeted. Last month I commented on stories about conservative Republican activist Arthur Finkelstein marrying his longtime male companion in Massachusetts, despite being a longtime associate of Jesse Helms and currently working on a Stop Hillary campaign. Then of course there is the ongoing Jeff Gannon controversy. And Armstrong Williams (oops!) How many gay Republican hypocrites can there be out there? Frank Rich (In the Sunday New York Times) is wondering also!
