Antigay hypocrites in the news:

According to the Times, antigay lawyer Robert Skolrood has died.

He fought against gay rights by helping to word an initiative on the Colorado ballot in 1992 that would have barred any special protection for homosexuals. The amendment to the state’s constitution passed but was struck down by the United States Supreme Court four years later.

Mr. Skolrood helped to draft an amendment to the Cincinnati City Charter to similarly deprive homosexuals of specific legal protections; voters approved the measure in 1993.

A federal appeals court upheld the result, and the United States Supreme Court in 1998 refused to hear an appeal.

And of course,

In 2002, when he was semi-retired, Mr. Skolrood was arrested on charges of uttering obscenities and making sexual advances toward a male undercover police officer at an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. He denied all the charges at a trial before a federal magistrate in Roanoke, Va., but he pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and paid a $125 fine.

Meanwhile, it turns out that the Texas district attorney who argued to uphold the state’s sodomy laws in Lawrence v. Texas has engaged in extra-marital relations. Because it doesn’t count if you’re straight.
