Roy Ashburn, the conservative California state senator who was arrested last week for drunk driving after reportedly leaving a gay bar, has acknowledged that he is gay.

CBS13 reports that Ashburn made the announcement to a radio station where he used to host a talk show.

"I'm gay," he told radio host Inga Barks, according to the Sacramento Bee. "Those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long."

If you choose to be homosexual, you are not conservative.

What party is he with? Oh, I see. It is part of the headline. If a Dem is involved, you would be lucky if you found the party affiliation in the story let alone the headline.

At least he doesn’t have a humiliated wife to whom an apology is necessary.

well, I am 110% hetero and I somewhat disagree. Conservatism is about personal freedom and limited govt and not any one’s personal life. I consider myself a conservatarian.

MSM/Progessives are so morally dead they can't stand when people try to have some scruples or values - unheard of in their circles - they call us hypocrites. So, whenever or where ever they see a conservative they can take down, they will. They don't even try for moral standards. So, even if there is an equivalent to Ashburn in the Dem/liberal party, it is not the same.

“If you choose to be homosexual, you are not conservative.”

???

I guess I better tell my in-the-closet friend who has been campaign manager of over a dozen GOP campaigns that he isn’t a conservative.

We don’t know what causes homosexuality. If we did, this would be an easier discussion to have I would imagine.

I don’t mind a lawmaker who’s exceedingly cheerful now and then. So much anger out there right now, it’s a refreshing change!
