Wow. Can you imagine:

1) Being 68 and trying to exchange drugs for gay sex,

2) Getting arrested for it, and then

3) Being booked in a jail that's named after you?!
Certainly nothing to be proud of.

Another one who should have pity upon him.

Nothing proud about it at all.

Maybe he should have been Out and Proud instead. Because we all know that makes such a big difference in the life of a homosexual to know they don't have to slink around in the dark about how they like to have sex and that everyone loves and accepts them "just the way they are". That Sheriff obviously didn't hear that enough. Yes. Normal. Totally normal.

While your thread title is pretty misleading (on purpose I suppose) I did find the part about him getting booked into the jail named after him to be quite funny.

Hmm. Makes me wonder if there's more to that endorsement of Rick Perry than we realize!

How is it misleading? It's all factual, as far as I know.

This guy is gay right?
I mean,he was looking for gay sex.

So why is it okay to make fun of him again?
Because he was in the 'wrong' political party?

I guess it would be helpful to know when it is okay to make fun of gays.

Thanks.

Nice try.

No one here is making fun of him for being gay, they're making fun of him for being a Republican "Sheriff Of The Year" who got caught trying to exchange drugs for sex, and then got booked into a jail bearing his name. The fact that it was gay sex just livens it up even more.

In your title you did specify "GAY SEX". Like it's a particular brand or flavor.

You could have just said... "sex" for "drugs money".

I thought you believed all sex was equal. Gay sex is the same as non-gay sex.

Deep down we know it's really not the same nor equal. Why else make a post about him being a closeted GOP'er.

I know you like to poke fun at the repubs for being a hypocrite - but was he someone who touted "family values"?

You mean you can make fun of gay Republicans?
Or is it gay Sheriffs?
Or is it when gays get arrested trying to buy drugs,is that when we can all make fun of them?

It is difficult to keep track of when it is okay to ridicule gay men...

In my state (WA) we had a GOP state senator Jim West who was gay-in-the-closet. When he was outed, there was a similar outburst of homophobic jokes & jabs from the left.
You and "Oz in OC" are totally blinded by your own bias. I have not made any homophobic remarks because I'm not homophobic in the slightest. Where do you even get that? Point it out to me.

And since when are us "lefties" homophobic when "there is a story like this"? You are weird, man. It's the religious right that hate gay people... or haven't you been paying attention? Up is down to you.

I was making fun of this HYPOCRITE and his hypocritical party, not for him being a gay man. The GOP doesn't want gays to marry... they didn't want them to be "out" if they are in the military... one even openly referred to Barney Frank as "Barney F*g".... and then they point to this guy as a shining representative of their party. That's ironic and funny as hell. If you can't see the humor in this story, then it must hit a little to close to home for you to see it.

Add that to the fact that he's selling DRUGS for sex and you get a real sense of how carefully the GOP picks its running mates....er... I mean GOP Sherrifs of the Year.

...And then he gets to spend time in the jail that bears his name! If you can't laugh at that, you are humorless!

Actually, you don't get it. The left loves to preach about the normalcy of gay sex, yet when their political opponents engage in it, that's the first thing they attack.

Another way of explaining it.....you are bigoted in that you think someone who is gay cannot be a "true gay" if they consider themselves conservative or identify as a Republican.

Seems to me that you are a classic example of a person who thinks he is tolerant but in reality is anything but when it comes to those who don't see things the way you do.
