In wake of DeLay, We Got a Self-Loathing Gay
David Dreier--one of the three Republicans who moved up in the power chain in the fall out following DeLay's indictment, will likely face greater scrutiny from GOP allies for his closeted sexuality. That's right--he gay folks. David Dreir: The Queer. A self-loathing hypocrite as well. These are the gay republicans that really bother me. The rest bother me, just not the this extent.
David Dreier opposed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would have banned discrimination against gay people in hiring; voted for the gay-bashing Defense of Marriage Act; voted for banning adoption by gay and lesbian couples in the District of Columbia (3,000 miles away from Dreier's district); voted to allow federally funded charities to discriminate against gays in employment, even where local laws prohibit such bias; and voted against the Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
Democrat Cynthia Matthews said, "If David Dreier is gay, it is absolutely shameful to me that he would amass a 24-year voting record against his own community". I am saddened that David Dreier has voted against funding housing for people with AIDS and that he has denied AIDS medications to impoverished Americans--those who are most in need of these life-saving drugs."
Someone explain to me what the f*ck goes through these people's heads.

How do we know he's gay? I did a little research, but nothing came up on his sexuality that was anything but speculation or blind assertion. I'm probably missing something though, does anyone have an artical about it, or a quote from him?
