In this week's edition of Republican Hypocrisy we focus on Washington State Representative Richard Curtis (R-LaCenter) who is in the middle of an investigation over a man trying to blackmail him after they had sex (allegedly).
A state lawmaker from southwest Washington in Spokane for a legislative retreat last week may have done some socializing here that now has the attention of local detectives.
State Representative Richard Curtis (R-La Center) was in Spokane last week and reportedly had consensual sex with another man at a downtown hotel that later led to blackmail. However Curtis says there was no sex and he isn't gay. Now Spokane police are trying to determine if Rep. Curtis did in fact have a sexual encounter here that made him a target for extortion.

Here comes the hypocrisy:
Elected to the state House of Representatives in 2004, Curtis has voted like a fiscal and social conservative. This spring, he voted against domestic partnerships for gay and lesbian couples. Last year, he opposed a gay rights bill that banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. - Washington Spokesman Review
It's sad that so many of these people are in such conflict with themselves that they have to make other people's lives more difficult only to prove how heterosexual they are.
Maybe Mr. Curtis should have taken James Dobson's advice:
In his June 2002 Focus on the Family newsletter Dobson endorses advice by Dr. Nicolosi on preventing homosexuality in boys. The advice proposed that fathers take their sons into the shower with them where "the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger"
