Seems he doth protest too much for all these years. How common is this in other rabid homophobes?

    Not surprising at all, lol.

    This reminds me of that "other" anti-gay US senator who was arrested for trying to have sex with a Policeman inside a public toilet.

    His name is Larry Craig, here is the article from CNN News.

    It just goes further to show that the some of the most homophobic people out there (Vatican city, anyone?) are just in denial over their own sexuality.

    Happened to one of the high-ranking Priests in Pope Benedicts office less than a week ago too, he was caught ordering male prostitutes over the phone.

    Vatican hit by gay sex scandal. It happened less than a week ago!

    Any more instances? I'd love to find the KKK had been caught at it, for instance. The founder of the National Front was gay I believe, though his name escapes me just now.
    Edit: Webster?

    Common enough to become a stereotype. The super religious pro-family senator will always get caught with a hooker, the anti-gay politician will come out of the closet, etc.

    Wow, just too weird. :eek:

    I'll be using these news stories effectively next time someone makes a homophobic remark near me :D

    That's right, Martin Webster of the National Front.

    He claimed to have had gay sex with Nick Griffin.

    Nick Griffin denies it of course. ;)

    Ted Haggard did meth with male prostitutes
    Larry Craig played footsy with a cop in a bathroom
    Bob Allen payed $20 to a cop for a BJ
    Glenn Murphy Jr raped a young republican male.

    That's about right.

    We could probably find thousands of similar examples if we looked hard enough. :eek:

    Here's one that many probably won't know. I saw it on the BBC quite recently.

    Anwar Ibrahim, powerful Malaysian politician. Was a "Radical Islamist" in his youth.

    Has spent the past 8 years in jail for raping one of his male assistants.

    The stereotype seems a good guide in this respect. Fancy, Nick Griffin allegedly being bummed by a big Nazi. I wonder if they wore uniforms?

    Except Adolf Hitler wasn't actually gay.

    Slyfox, you are the one of the major fundamentalist "Christian" posters on this forum, and you also support the BNP.

    Doesn't look good for you in terms of repressed sexual urges my friend. :p

    I have no regrets about voting BNP. They must be doing something right because all the other parties are ganging up on the BNP.

    How do your Christian morals lead you to vote for a whites-only racist party?

    Did you know Jesus was a Middle Eastern man who was born in Palestine?

    Not too bad if it was just a Gideon's new testament, but a full on pulpit sized family one might result in lasting damage.

    He is the poster boy of the BNP, an articulate former teacher whose blue eyes and easy charm helped win the far-right party 11 council seats in Barking, east London. But now Richard Barnbrook, London leader of the BNP, has been forced to deny that an erotic movie he produced and directed as a student was a gay porn film.HMS Discovery: A Love Story contains scenes of flagellation, men undressing and frolicking in a river and a naked man apparently performing a sex act on another
