Anti-Gay State Senator Busted After Visiting Gay Club

Here's your hypocrite of the day... or maybe of the year so far*: State Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Calif.), who despises gays and lesbians and thinks they are not real people, was arrested last night after exiting a Sacramento gay club.

Of course, he wasn't arrested for attending a known homosexual hangout (although I'm sure his cronies would love it if he introduced a bill banning such places), he was arrested for drunk driving.

In a state-issued vehicle.

The best part of all is contained herein:

Ashburn, a father of four, is a Republican Senator representing parts of Kern, Tulare and San Bernardino Counties with a history of opposing gay rights.

When the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, the driver identified himself as Senator Ashburn. He was arrested without incident and charged with two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level higher than .08% or higher.

A male passenger, who was not identified as a lawmaker, was also in the car but was not detained. [CBS 13]
