Another One From the 'No, Really, I'm Not Gay, I Just Paid Him for Sex!' File

Ahhh, more "kinky, barebacking encounters" from the Republican closet. Don't these guys ever tire of this routine? This time, the elected Republican official in question is Washington State Rep. Richard Curtis.

These stories are piling up like… well, piles on a porn star. And don't get us wrong: The more gay Republicans the merrier. We love when big, paunchy, white plutocrats get in touch with their inner yin (or at least that sweet spot on their happy gland), we just don't love it when they do everything within their elected power to punish and marginalize folks who do it legally and without a side of denial.
