According to the article, Ashburn chose a very young Latino male to be his partner. Why do these scandals so frequently involve intergenerational sex?
Before you so easily dismiss this accusation I suggest that you search for the article "The Lords of Bakersfield," from the Bakersfield Californian. Learn how the political machine here in Bakersfield actually works.
Thanks for the info on the "Lords of Bakersfield" I read a long article on that and was beyond shocked. There is something deeply evil that has been going on in the Bakersfield area for decades and it is pretty stunning.
This makes me mad. His hypocrisy will make it look "bad" to be gay to the average conservative reading this article, and it will just cement their staunch disapproval of it. And they will probably even be able and willing to forgive this guy once he inevitably claims "it was a one-time thing" as long as he's willing to continue his anti-gay legislation. It's not really a victory for anyone worthy of winning. He'll end up the fallen saint and the club will be the devil's temptation. Sigh.
I'm sure he was just there to tell the gay men the good news. That God had made a way for them to have everlasting life through His son, Jesus Christ. And I'm sure that he was merely being polite and enjoyed a few cocktails with the men while informing them of God's free gift of salvation. And I am sure that he was just giving that man a ride to his home as a demonstration of Christian charity. And of course, the evil liberal media is just reading into this what they want to. It's so obvious!
As unnatural as it is, liberals and progressives have to remain temporarily organized in order to keep the hypocrite party from getting back into power after only a few years of being out. Has Obama accomplished what the people who voted for him expected? No, of course not. The bureaucracy is a HUGE machine that tends to grow regardless of who is "steering" the government. To change directions is a slow, cumbersome project to undertake under the democratic process. Try to stay united.
Roy Ashburn, Ed Jagels, etc, it's all part of the "fun" of living in the "fundie" belt of California. It's just politics as usual for Bakersfield.
Look a little deeper, you can probably find film of Kern County Supervisor Ken Mettler getting away with beating up a gay activist during the Prop. 8 debacle.
It's all about their insecurities over their own sexual orientation.
Clearly he was heading home to his wife and kids after having a drink and rationally discussing the ramifications of the legalization of gay marriage with several homosexual associates. Leave it to those nasty news reporters to get the facts twisted.
P.S. It's totally not GAY PEOPLE that are the problem here...or anywhere.. it's the ABSOLUTE HYPOCRISY!
You aren't even taking away gays' rights, you're taking away "THE OTHER" gays' rights. You know, the ones that accept who they are, and that's fucked.
If you turn your back on anyone, let it be your church for poisoning your brain to think that other people are lesser than you.
He actually looks gay to me... and I never heard of him.

He was just staking out the home of Satan to protect us good people from the evil homo's (spelling very intentional).
He was probably trying to bring his young friend back to Christ by comforting him with his rod and staff.
