Anti-Gay Senator Leaves Gay Club?

[McConnaughay]

In better days Ashburn, a fierce opponent of gay rights, was fighting marriage equality and organizing anti-gay marriage rallies as part of his Traditional Family Values campaign.



But he hit a bump in the road -- figuratively, not literally -- Wednesday at around 2 AM when CHP officers observed him weaving and driving erratically in downtown Sacramento. After a field sobriety test, officers determined that Ashburn, who reeked of alcohol and had bloodshot, watery eyes, was under the influence of alcohol and placed him under arrest. He was released from jail just before 4 AM.



Initial reports only noted the DUI arrest and Ashburn issued a contrite apology on Wednesday. But late this evening, the CBS affiliate in Sacramento reported that sources confirmed that Ashburn had left Faces, a gay nightclub in downtown Sacramento, just prior to his arrest.



The state issued black Chevrolet Tahoe Ashburn was driving has been impounded at the state Capitol.

It'd be easy to make a joke about him but I'm just going to say that if he wants to continue being against Gay Rights he needs to stay away from lumps in his path oe get himself out of the closet.

Lol.. Sacramento is like 70 miles away from me.

Going to a gay bar doesnt make you gay, it does seem suspicious though.
