Yet another homophobic republican politician turns out to be gay. I am shocked, I tell you, shocked.

And appalled (NOT)!

I am appalled that (according the article) the head of the "Traditional Values Coalition" expects this guy to continue voting along anti-LGBT lines, though!

If he's your stereotypical evangelical, he will keep voting that way, and I wouldn't expect any less. There are lots of LGBT evangelicals who believe God commands them to suppress their sexuality for ever and ever, amen, if their desires never switch to the opposite sex. It's really sad to think about.

I feel like there might be hope now that he's admitted he's gay - at least he doesn't need to go to extremes to avoid arousing suspicion, so he may feel more free. But it feels presumptuous of the Traditional Values Coalition guy to expect him to keep voting the same way. Then again, I doubt I see eye to eye on anything with the Traditional Values Coalition...apparently human rights is not a traditional value.
