Crossdressing Republican Lawmaker Admits Sexual Encounter With Male Escort
By Logan Murphy Wednesday Oct 31, 2007 10:50am
Via The Columbian:
State Rep. Richard Curtis, R-La Center, admitted to having sex with a man he met at an adult video store in Spokane last week, according to a police report released Tuesday afternoon.
The police report offers a far different version of events from the brief account Curtis gave Monday to The Columbian, one that seems likely to threaten Curtis' political future.
The police report contains an account of how Curtis allegedly donned women's clothing, red stockings and a black sequined lingerie top before engaging in a sex act at the store. He then continued to wear them throughout the night under his clothing, the report says. Read more...
I couldn't care less about a person's sexual preferences, but as Howie puts it, Curtis is a hypocrite of the highest order. Staying true to form, Washington Republicans have thrown him under the bus and he has resigned. You think he was a Rudy Giuliani supporter?

Not gonna get Larry Craigs lawyer and fight it??
Mmmmmmmm Hypocriscyyyyy.
What in the world is it with closeted gay Republicans? I have this theory that they put on Republicanism/conservatism as a disguise. It's part of their closet.
Good Lord, not another one.
During the Clinton years of peace and prosperity the Clinton hating red state conservative Republican congressmen used to wear "I believe Paula" buttons on the house floor in reference to the Paula Jones "scandal" involving Clinton. Dems should wear " I believe the male prostitute" buttons in reference to this family values hypocrite.
You couldn't write a movie funnier than this shit. One after another, all the Cons are being outted.
It wouldn't be so funny if they weren't all so fucking anti-gay.
Those Right Wing-NutO, Religious Fakers and Haters should embrace their party of Gays along with their many crooks and criminals.

It would likely be difficult to figure out which member of Congress the pins are referencing at this point.
Like watching circus clowns exit a small car. Will it ever end?
What tortured lives these guys must lead when there is so much conflict between who they claim to be and who they really are.

The Lord is good, he's shining the light all these red state conservative family values hypocrites. Praise Jesus! Keep up the good work Dear Lord!
Was this covered before or is this YET another closeted gay Republican? So far, this year (not counting Foley) I count six?
>What tortured lives these guys must lead when there is so much conflict between who they claim to be and who they really are.

Personally, I could have done without the "toothpaste was already out of the tube" metaphor. It just seemed...wrong somehow here.
Another Neocon hypoctire bites the--uh--dust.
This IS the character of their party.
Hide the truth. Pretend you're something you're not. Treat the public like rubes.
The truth will out. Even to the rubes.
Thank gawd these moral values paragons are impeding my access to contraception and other goods and services related to sexuality and reproductive health.
That's a boatload of stuff which keeps them from getting into even more trouble. (Imagine if they didn't have that! They'd be sucking their way through polite society like out of control Roombas, hurling themselves at unsuspecting baskets and stuffing innocent shirt pockets with twenties and fifties when done.)
A wide stance on moral values is better than none at all when conducted from a toilet stall.
I wonder if people are finally figuring out how the Republicans operate. I mean, its pretty simple. If they tell the public they are straight, behind the scenes they are actually gay. If they say they will uphold the law, behind the scenes they are stealing and killing. If they say they they are putting forth legislation to protect the children from predators you can bet, behind the scenes they are the child predators. If they act or say they are strong on defense, you can bet that they were draft dodgers.

The Republicans claimed to be the inclusive "Big Tent" party which I always thought was another big GOP lie intil I realized they meant a Big Circus Tent full of clowns, crooks, creeps, cronies, crack pots and christo-facists.
Another GAY REPUBLICAN falls out of the "Closet"
It's starting to make sense folks! They really don't like Bush's policies but they still support him because they're totally GAY for him.

The Republican party is looking more like it should be a part of the Federal Bureau of Prisons than anything else.
Most if not ALL of these guys have been compromised
where they are 'set up' unknowingly until it's too late,
and then are blackmailed by threat of exposure.
Once in "The Club", they are easily controlled.
Sound far fetched?
Damn, that was fast! The Washington State Legislature web site has already removed all information about Curtis less than 24 hours after his resignation: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Results.aspx?District=18. Notice there is no listing for Representative Position #1. Now that's efficient government -- by Democrats who control every branch of the government in Washington State.
Curtis is truly a sad case and has no one to blame but himself. Both for living for years as a closeted hypocrite, then for the astoundingly stupid notion that he could make a detailed report to the police of fairly kinky and possibly illegal activity (paying a prostitute for sex), and think that it would NOT GET INTO THE NEWS! Not to mention wanting to have unprotected sex with a prostitute he picked up at an adult book store. Anyway... at this point I think the American Psychiatric Association should seriously consider including Conservative Republican Homophobe as a paraphilia (fetish) in the next edition of the the DSM.
I just hope his soon-to-be ex-wife tests negative for HIV and other STDs. Even if she knew about his secret life, she doesn't deserve to be put at risk like that.
Is the voter base learning yet?
Ruthless People @ 18:
...and self-hating queens.
It's just one big Gay Old Party for the Ratpublicans. I'm positive that each and every one of them is hiding some dark secret that the president's men hold over their heads to keep them voting in lockstep with this pathetic administration. In return for their support, the reich wing agrees to look the other way.
Man oh man (ha ha pun intended)! These guys are being outed faster than cockroaches during a roach bombing. Is there any chance that this is the result of the Hustler guy's pledge to pay rewards for tips leading to the outing of republicans' family values hypocrisy?!
So this guy was out preaching about family values or something? With the little lady dutifully standing next to him?
The police report contains an account of how Curtis allegedly donned women’s clothing, red stockings and a black sequined lingerie top before engaging in a sex act at the store. He then continued to wear them throughout the night under his clothing, the report says.
let me be clear....i am not gay....i have never been gay.
Linda, it's a good thing that porn is so popular and lucrative. Otherwise, Larry Flynt would be going broke paying rewards on all these outed Republican freaks.
Again?!? Jesus!
Its as if they want to get caught or something. Are they so removed from reality that they don't think they can get caught?
Lawmaker? or is that....jaw breaker?
When politicians get into a gay scandal, it's kind of funny at first...but it's unfortunate when families are involved. I hope Curtis wasn't one of the ultra-closeted types with a wife and kids. :(
I concur that the fact that he is gay is irrelevant. It's his hypocritical anti-gay stance that provides all the schadenfreude here. If these sad sacks would just move out of the log closet into the log cabin they would find a much more congenial atmosphere. It is becoming apparent, however, that the log cabin is in need of considerable expansion. They need to add a new right wing.
what no butt plugs
no double wet suits
no tie downs
this guy is so plain jane
Gays are getting a bad name from the Repugs. You would start to think that all gays are criminal, lying, cheating stealing bastards from what we see of outed Repugs.
The gay community will have to further distance themselves from Repugs to avoid that association.:-)
Shall we lay bets as to how many hours before another Republican is pushed out of the closet?
The 'TOOL' shed will be replaced with new and improved TOOLS.
Nothing will change.

red stockings and a sequined neglige? that's "plain jane"?

I hate to say it but I bet republicans like Curtis look at Jesus not as a savior but in a different way if you know what I mean.

I'm convinced that many of these self-hating closet cases crave the phony macho swagger the republic party provides. The bigger the cigar, the smaller the equipment.
Is this the appropriate time to once again ask,
What was Jeff Gannon doing in the White House 196 times?
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we've had our fill of family values liars for decades. These people are scum, dirt, filth, and their lies (in the name of The Lord) harmed many, many good and decent people.
What's the church that lost an $11 million lawsuit...the God Hates Fags one? It's looking more and more to me like God hates hypocrites more than anything else.
There's something wrong here...this is too much! I'm beginning to think there's more than meets the eye, with how many anti-gay gay Republicans there are!
Poor repressed NeoCons, if they would just come out of the closets and quit hating themselves for what they really are (Gay) and quit their phony stance AGAINST gay people and their right, they would be SOOO much happier. Instead they go on with the self-loathing until they finally get caught.
All these poor xstian hypocrites who pour out their Cable News Cacophony of hatred against all whom they say have Low morals ... so sad, poor twisted little boys. They must have been hit upside the head too many times with the family bible.
From the story:
Curtis ... told police that he thought he might have been given some type of drug because his memory of the evening was hazy, the report says.
Ah, yes, the drugs made him do it. Maybe like Ted Haggard, there was some meth to his madness.
Democrats should infiltrate repiblicans and protest in favor of the permanence of the gay official. This will divide the evangelicals, doubt of their own party, and maybe make them vote democrat next year.
Jeeebus H.W. Christ on a pogo stick!
Where will this all end? LOL will Dick "shotgun" Cheney be outed one day...he does after all, have a MAN SIZED SAFE in his office....kinda makes one wonder...
Hayzeus christo, this bunch that comes out of the closet after making a career of bashing gays is just getting on my nerves.
republican family values
strikes again... and again
heh...
Bud @ 63:
Make that shoved out of the closet...smartly donned in women’s clothing, red stockings and a black sequined lingerie top. How cute.
How do these hypocrites sleep at night?
Surely the guilt would drive them nuts, but it doesn't. They continue to fool everyone, they continue to judge, they continue to speak out against people that are like them.
This (these) is a poor excuse for a human being.
# 57 What was Jeff Gannon doing in the White House 196 times?
Building the secret S&M room in the basement of the West Wing?
This is not news.
Declaring you are a Republican has always meant confessing you are a hypocrite.
Only lately has it meant you are a toe-tapping, toilet-tissue-obsessing, wide-stanced, cheek-spreading, crotchless-bikini-from-Fredrick's-of-Hollywood-wearing, anally and orally-impregnated 'God'-loving, CrazyChristianConservativeEvangelicalFundamentalistNeoconZionist with delusions of being a member of an eternal-rulers-of-the-world cabal.
Put the sexual peculiarities of Republicans back on page 102.
Put their political perversions on page 1.
When I saw this yesterday, I couldn't even get excited anymore. This shit seems to be happening monthly. It's not funny anymore. It's pathetic.
At last, the hypocritical haters are being taken to the mat. I've been saying it for years, and now I feel vindicated. That conservative republican anti-gay stance is the most often used beard in the entire world. Maybe this guy is bi, but whatev! It's quite clear that his party is full of crazy people who hate themselves, and because they cannot control themselves, they try to control us.
I wonder, if by legislating bigotry, do these guys keep their fetishes exciting? If what they do and who they are became permissible within their party, would that take all the zap of out their boner? I dunno. But I gotta wonder, and it's sad that their peens run their lives more than any measure of common sense.
So is this intentional?
Instead of rounding up gays like the Nazis--how crude--is this how the USA purges gays? At least in government--so far?
GOP-Party of hypocritical, repressed, closeted freaks. No wonder they get their sexual jollies from waging war.
Q. How many reich-wingers can you fit in a closet?
A. All of the them
SouthTxMan @ 62:
Sleep at night? They all take Tylenol PM!! (after their tryst, of course)
Well, at least he wasn't caught having sex in a mens' room. Red stockings and a black lingerie top - how positively trashy!! I guess the double wetsuit with a dildo just wasn't his cup of tea.
These revelations are rapidly becoming "normal".
Bill-O has spent so much time fighting his [fake] "culture war" but he apparently has followed the lead of his hero and invaded the wrong turf. Instead of attacking "secular progressives [sic]", he should be attacking his fellow reich-wing perverts.
No problem for the Christian Religious Republican Party. Look the GOP says it's ok for their members to have sex with men/woman, molest kids and even steal/lie under oath.
It's the rest of the American people who can't do that. So look for more names to come out about the GOP Club of perverts. Vitter had a bill signed to give his church 100,000 dollars and the church forgive his sins. It's all about the money with the Evangelist Churches you can sin as much as you want and lie under God's name and it's ok if you just keep giving the taxpayers money in the church box. Yes Iraq gets alot but the Church gets the rest. Notice how all the appointees are religious groups and as they resign their still on the government pay roll.
Ok, sing the song:
He's just a sweet transvestite ... from transsexual Transylvania!

Joementum @ 56:
I suspect that there is something in the Republican kool-aid acting as a suppressant in order to be electable but the fact sadly enough, is that a growing number who are no longer drinking it.
Almost feel sorry for this one. Larry Craig, at least, has too much on Mitch McConnell and threatens to out all his GOP commrads to keep his lush tax payer job. So, the moral of the story is screw in groups and bring the camera.
sick of this sh*t @ 79:
Well, I'd feel sorrier for him if he didn't consistently vote for anti-gay legislation.
#24 "I just hope his soon-to-be ex-wife tests negative for HIV and other STDs. Even if she knew about his secret life, she doesn’t deserve to be put at risk like that."
I have no sympathy for her. She probably knew and was right there by his side in church on sunday living his lie sanctimoniously bashing the gays right along side of him. It's the gay folks being persecuted family values hypocrites that don't need to be put at risk. Nobody put a gun to her head to make her marry this clown. Call it God, call it karma, the wife I'm sure is getting what's coming to her too.
I don't feel sorry for her. One. Bit. To hell with her too.
The Gay Ole Party needs a new logo.
This is just getting silly. Are there any of these clowns left who aren't closet cases?

Mojopo @ 65:
Good call Mojopo. Its pathetic not only because there are people like this holding public office, but because there are people who voted for them. I've been perusing some conservative blogs and right is predictably blaming the Dems for the Curtis scandal: "The liberal media is sensationalizing the incident, or "The Dems don't worry about incidents like this because they love perverts" etc. Maybe bigots just love being bigots.
Serious question. Is there a list of all these repubs and their actions over the last 5 or so years? I've lost track and if you add the conservative religious right I'll bet there is quite a group. How about another list of "wrong doers" so we can have a ready reference to hit them with when needed.
This is some sick shit. Don't mean to offend anyone here but I guess I'm a homophobe if homophobia is the other side of the coin with heterosexuality. My credentials: I did not grow marijuana (as I'd planned) for a living because I did not want to go to jail and end up becoming someone's "bitch" for ten years (I got internal hemorrhoids and I hate pain). I was slightly offended when a fellow worker I was introduced to, tickled my palm with his pinky as we shook hands, signaling to me that he was curious about the possibility that I might be gay. I squirmed endlessly watching "Kiss of the Spiderwoman". I worried that my son was gay, (he wasn't). You get the point. Truth is, I say live and let live, just don't try to kiss me mister.
But this is a major cognitive disconnect. Republicans= real men. Democrats=pussies. Yea, we exist in a patriarchy and I hate it but that's the meme. Men can't run shit with the system they have imposed on the human world for the last umpteen thousand years. But I doubt that the feminine would produce a better plan. But all these Republican men are fucking and sucking each other and there seems to be no end to it. what's going on? They don't go to war but they start em. Can you believe this same bunch censured Barney Frank for his homosexuality? And I think he is one tough hombre and am thankful for the people in his district who are enlightened enough to keep him in place. I just read an article in the Nation about Albert Shanker and about how if the left were less like pussies and more tough like Shanker, we lefties would still be in power. I don't know what to make of that. You got to be tough to make it in the world of lefties? More Demos fought in the wars and while they were doing that, the repugs were presumably discovering their "feminine side". and how to get a quickie by tapping your toe and extending your hand in a public bathroom.
Weird, I got the link wrong.
Was he wearing all that stuff because he has a wide stance?
