TYT: Gay Alabama Rep. Threatens To Expose Hypocritical Cheating Colleagues



"Alabama's only openly gay legislator is putting her anti-gay colleagues on notice: If they keep espousing family values rhetoric as a reason to oppose marriage equality, she'll start making their marital infidelities public.

'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,' wrote state Rep. Patricia Todd (D) on Facebook over the weekend, as reported by the TimesDaily in Alabama. 'I will call our elected officials who want to hide in the closet out.'” *

I don't think she should actually name them, just say, "I know six who are cheating on their wives." tclambert Jan 2015 #2

Those six might re-think their positions, plus the other 20 who are cheating, about whom she doesn't know. Some private detectives are gonna get more business out of this.
