At this point, the vehemently homophobic Republican "closet case" has become so common it's a stereotype.  Today comes word of yet ANOTHER case, this one gay-bashing Washington State Rep. Richard Curtis (R), who paid for sex with a man, then insisted he was "not gay" (like Larry Craig), then announced he was resigning.  While repressing his own homosexuality, this guy "voted against bills that would grant civil rights protections to gays and lesbians, and against a bill that created domestic partnerships for same-sex couples."  Nice, huh?  Looks like it's time to add Richard Curtis (R) to the long list of Republican gay-bashing "I'm not gay"'s.

Heartening News from NJ (PM - 11/1/2007 9:26:12 AM)

According to a recent Rutgers-Eagleton Poll of 1,002 NJ adults, two-thirds of NJ respondents favor civil unions.  On the marriage issue, 48 percent favored gay marriage, while 44 percent opposed it.  But here's the most heartening news --

Nearly three in five people between 18 and 29 favor gay marriage, compared with about half of voters between 30 and 64, and one-third of those over 65.

That age division holds in many other poll results I've seen.  In a decade, opponents of gay rights are going to seem like remnants of a bigoted past.
