Gay Alabama lawmaker threatens to reveal colleagues' affairs

[kpete]

MONTGOMERY – State Rep. Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, had a warning for her Statehouse colleagues over the weekend.

“I will not stand by and allow legislators to talk about ‘family values’ when they have affairs, and I know of many who are and have,” Todd, the state’s only openly gay lawmaker, said on Facebook over the weekend. “I will call our elected officials who want to hide in the closet out.”

Todd was responding to comments from her fellow lawmakers after Friday’s decision by a federal judge to overturn the state’s ban on same-sex marriages.

“It is pretty well known that we have people in Montgomery who are or have had affairs …” Todd told the TimesDaily this morning. “I just want them to be careful what they’re saying, some of it might come back to stick on them.”

1. I don't know about this . . .

I probably wouldn't give those fuckers any warning at all.

3. Good for her.

We're sick of all the homophobic bullshit from all these hypocrites here in the South. We all know people whose private lives and public personas don't match, and they'd better watch what they say and do regarding marriage equality. They're messing around with people's lives here, and they shouldn't be surprised if some of us start pushing back.

4. This is great! Make those phonies sweat a bit

The ones that fold are more than likely the ones Todd is referring to.
