I didn't know that.



"Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

Congressman Bob Dornan "outed" him years ago on the House floor. It was broadcast live on C-SPAN. I don't think Dornan had planned to do it. Shays had angered Dornan and other Republican during the debate on a bill introduced that had something to do with "Gay Rights."

Dornan said something to the effect: "I wish the good Congressman would be more honest with us. He is in, he is out, he is in, he is out.."

Bedlam erupted on the House floor. Angry Democrats started storming the Speaker's chair. Eventually, Dornan's words were "taken down."

Shays was livid, but was so embarrassed, he told the media he had no comment.
