Anti-gay senator Roy Ashburn arrested after leaving gay nightclub

03/04/2010 by JR Russell
Around 2am Wednesday, March 3rd, California State Senator, Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) was pulled over in his state-issued black Chevy Tahoe. There was an unidentified man travelling with the senator.

Sources say the senator had just left the gay nightclub, Faces, when police noticed the car swerving dangerously and pulled him over.

He was arrested without incident and charged with two misdemenors: driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher. The unidentified man in the vehicle with Senator Ashburn was not detained.

Senator Ashburn was released from the Sacramento County Jail on a $1,400 bond.

Roy Ashburn, who is the divorced father of four daughters, ran on a family-values platform and had voted against a bill to recognise out-of-state same sex marraiges, hosted a Traditional Values Coalition rally in Bakersfield, and received a perfect score of 100% on the Capitol Resource Family Impact scorecard for never voting yes to any equality legislation, ever.

    What amazes me more than the awful hypocrisy is the fact that these guys get caught so often- it makes me realize that statistically there must be so so so many more out there – in public office-just like him, yet to be caught out. I gave testimony in the California legislative hearing for the passage of AJR 15 – a State resolution supporting the Uniting American families Act. There was swift public embarrassment to another CA State rep. Jeff Miller.(R- Santa Ana) He insulted my testimony and hence all of you and then two weeks later was kicked off the Ethics committee because he was the guy caught listening to and laughing with the other Republican on an open mike – who was boasting about his affairs with lobbyists even going so far as to mention specific sexual acts on open mike. BUSTED Hypocrites should have their own hall of shame. http://lezgetreal.com/?p=21505

      I just don’t understand why they think they’re so much smarter than all the rest and will never get caught!

      I always have two reactions to these stories.

      1. HA! Serves you right.

      2. Oh wait, that means you’re one of us. Damn.

      CanuckJacq: In reference to your second point, I don’t think you need to worry. I’m straight but that sure as hell doesn’t mean this hypocritical bigot was one of us.

      Reminds me of my favorite ode from Oedipus Rex:

      The Tyrant
      is a child of Pride,
      who drinks from his sickening cup of
      Recklessness and Vanity, until he
      Plummets
      headfirst
      Into the dust of Hope.

      That strong man is not so strong…
