Because God Don't Sleep: Anti-Gay Politician Busted Being Gay

A state senator from Southern California was arrested 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. The Sacramento County district attorney says ... Ashburn's blood-alcohol level was .14 percent, when he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving near the Capitol.

Ashburn, a father of four ... has a history of opposing gay rights. 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.
