California state Senator Roy Ashburn is a big supporter of "traditional marriage" and has a 100% anti-gay rights voting record. Said he:
"We need to preserve traditional values for the future of our children. Children must be raised with morals and principles. As a society, we must provide them with a secured and loving environment that allows them to flourish."
I'm sure you can guess the rest... Yup, Ashburn, married father of four, gets pulled over drunk driving a state-owned Tahoe with an "unidentified male passenger" leaving "Faces" gay bar in Sacramento, California. Says TPM:
Here's a look at the votes of Ashburn, a Republican of Bakersfield:
In 2006, he voted no on a measure to add material on the contributions of gay Americans who had contributed to the development of California or the United States
In 2008 he voted against expanding anti-discrimination laws to include sexual discrimination.
In 2009 he voted against a resolution to oppose Prop 8, the anti-gay marriage ballot question.
Last September, he voted against recognizing out-of-state same-sex marriages.
That same month Ashburn opposed creating Harvey Milk Day, to honor the slain gay rights icon from San Francisco.
Shysters like Big Gay Ashburn make me wonder if the word 'hypocrisy' is even adequate. Is there room in the dictionary for 'hypercrisy'?

I love these guys.
