Judge quits after ‘invasive’ reports reveal his gay hookup app profile

[Fearless]

A Florida judge who struck down a ban on same-sex adoption has resigned from his post, following reports that he used gay hookup app Manhunt.

David Audlin, who served as Monroe County’s chief circuit judge, told the Miami Herald that the “inappropriate invasion of privacy” had led him to retire four years early.

In 2008, the judge declared unconstitutional a state law which banned gay and lesbian couples from adoption.

The judge’s profile on Manhunt was leaked online in January, leading to ridicule from some conservative bloggers, before he stepped down last week.

Who gives a flying fuck if he uses Manhunt?!

1. Who Cares.

If it had been an anti-gay judge, it would be scandalous. Since it's not, there's no hypocrisy to expose.

2. So you can't be in a position of authority, and have a swingin' single life at the same time?

Regardless of orientation, I don't think being married and popping out a few kids should not be a main factor in determining positions of leadership.
