Le sénateur anti-gay était homosexuel
Un sénateur conservateur états-uniens qui a voté contre les droits des homosexuels durant ses 14 années en fonction vient d'avouer qu'il était gay.
Le Républicain Roy Ashburn, en congé depuis son arrestation la semaine dernière pour conduite en état d'ébriété, a fait son coming out au cours d'une interview radio. Il voulait faire face aux rumeurs selon lesquelles il se serait rendu dans un club gay avant son arrestation à Sacramento, le 3 mars.
Ashburn, représentant californien âgé de 55 ans, a expliqué que ses votes reflétaient la façon suivant laquelle ses électeurs voulaient qu'il vote en non pas son "propre conflit interne".
"Je suis gay... voilà les mots qui ont été si difficiles pour moi depuis si longtemps", a déclaré le père de quatre enfants et divorcé sur les ondes de KERN.
Roy Ashburn s'était notamment opposé l'an dernier à un projet proposant de choisir une date pour honorer annuellement la mémoire du militant pour les Droits des Gay Harvey Milk. Il avait également voté contre l'élargissement des lois anti-discrimination et contre la reconnaissance des mariages homosexuels ayant eu lieu en dehors de l'état.
Merci à tous les dieux de toutes les religions, Ashburn a de plus déclaré ne pas briguer de mandat public au terme de celui en cours qui s'achèvera en 2010.

Politics definitely makes me more and more misanthropist...
Anti Gay California Rep. Senator is gay !
An American republican senator who has been voting against LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) rights throughout his 14 years in the Senate just admitted to being gay himself.
On leave since he was arrested for drunk driving, Roy Ashburn made his coming out in a radio interview. He said he wanted to face the rumours that he just left a Sacramento gay bar when he was arrested on March 3rd.
The elected conservative, aged 55, explained that his positions represented the way his voters wanted him to vote, not his “own personal conflicts”.
“I am gay... these are words that have been so uneasy for me to say for so long” has declared the divorced father of four live on KERN radio.
Last year, Roy Ashburn notably opposed a project wanting to set a date to yearly honour the memory of Gay Rights militant Harvey Milk. He also voted against an enlargement of the anti-discrimination law as well as against the recognition of same sex marriage performed out of California.
Thanks to all the gods of all religions, Ashburn declared he will not seek another public term after this one ends at the end of 2010.
