Republican Anti-Gay Lawmaker At Gay Club Before DUI Arrest
« on: March 04, 2010, 02:51:44 PM »
SACRAMENTO AP  A state senator from Southern California was arrested for allegedly
for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub
in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning.

The California Highway Patrol pulled over Senator Roy Ashburn at 2:00 a.m. Wednesday after an officer noticed a black Chevy Tahoe swerving at 13th and L Streets.

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.

Ashburn was booked into the Sacramento County Jail and released on $1,400 bond.

Ashburn issued a statement on the arrest Wednesday afternoon:

"I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgment. I accept complete responsibility for my conduct and am prepared to accept the consequences for what I did. I am also truly sorry for the impact this incident will have on those who support and trust me – my family, my constituents, my friends, and my colleagues in the Senate."

Ashburn served six years as a state Assemblyman before being elected to the State Senate.  According to Project Vote Smart, Ashburn's voting record shows he has voted against every gay rights measure in the State Senate since taking office including Recognizing Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages", Harvey Milk Day and Expanding Anti-Discrimination Laws.

i wouldn't care if the dude banged men, women, sheep, whatever...

but the fact he worked against the advancedment of gay people, that's some serious hypocricy.  And very rarely do we see a hypocrite only in one area of his life.

He didn't exactly abstain from voting those days... he showed up and voted against.

yes, he voted against gay rights.  Some politicians choose to abstain from voting to avoid the issue.  He took a stand to deny them rights.  Yes, that is very much anti-gay.  He has the ability to 'sit out' votes if he wants.

again perhaps he is from a conservative area where ppl are against gay marriage...should he not represent his constituents?  ::)

he can be gay and still vote against gay rights if thats what his constituents want...

i see, politicians are supposed to poll their constituents every time before making any decisions?

That's what you're supposed to do IF YOU ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF A PEOPLE from a certain area.

Going against your constituents' wishes tends to get you FIRED.

LOL and obama lied to get his, isnt that what all politicians do? I mean whenever anybody criticizes obama thats what you say to excuse his actions...

now that its a rep its not an excuse I guess  ;)

and thats my point, he voted that way b/c his constituents wanted him to vote that way...I guess if your saviour did the same thing hed scale back on his health care...

who do you think is the better representative the one who does what his constituents want even though it goes against his beliefs? or the one who says screw what his constituents want and does what he wants?

Maybe he was just voting how they'd want and not based upon personal feelings.

Gay or straight, married people shouldn't be acting out like that. :)
