Gay-Bashing Alabama A.G. Caught Having Gay Sex?

Wonkette:

This may come as a shock, but a prominent anti-homosexual Republican attorney general has apparently been caught having homosexual sex intercourse with his homosexual gay male assistant. Bonus: The dude’s wife caught him, in their bed. This is the rumor that the AG’s office has officially denied, so now of course everybody is spilling the sordid details.

AG in question is Troy King, who, of course, is only interested in outlawing homosexuality and sex toys. His gay lover is either a college “buddy,” or a very young youngster and “Homecoming King” from Troy University. What are the odds of a dude named Troy King getting caught in bed with a Homecoming King from Troy University? This seems like a wacky sitcom plot, on a gay porn channel. (Is this what that Will & Grace was about?) Read on...

King, (pictured above, seated on the left) the State Chairman of John McCain's Alabama campaign, joined a number of Attorneys General who supported the GOP presidential candidate this past spring and the following is a quote from King on John McCain's campaign website:

"Alabama is a state where actions definitely speak louder than words," said King. "More than just talk, John McCain's strong record of support for state rights, and his devotion to the conservative principles of protecting life and the institution of marriage make him the right leader for Alabama."

Yes, Mr. King, actions certainly do speak louder than words. I wish I could I could take credit for writing something this hilarious, but I can't. It appears King has made a few enemies during his tenure in Alabama as well.

Typical.
First.

So King is a queen?

I'm shocked, I tell you. I am simply beside myself. This can't be... Republicans aren't gay (sarc off)

He can solve his problem by switching parties and becoming a Democrat. That way he won't need to hide in bathroom stalls anymore.

i got alittle serious your entry was funny

I now understand why Republicans are afraid that homosexual sex will destroy marriages. It does, if you are a Republican and are gay and need to have a "wife" just for appearance sake. Funny, Democrats don't have that problem.

At this point it's probably easier to assume ALL anti-gay Republicans are 'teh ghey', until they prove otherwise.
NTTAWWT.

Crazy. You couldn't make this shit up.

Not that there's any point in making this shit up. This shit has already happened so many times.

Another reptile hypocrite ditches his poor wife for, well, you said it.

That is the worst when you lose your guy to another guy. The creep. He could have signed over the estate first because she will nail his hide to the court house wall.

Sorry? What part of this item may come as a shock again?

By the way he's sitting it looks like he has a wide stance. Is that the normal way closeted gay Republicans sit?

This who thing sounds to much like a sit com for me to believe it just yet.

+What are the chances of another highr anking uber conservative being outed so soon after Larry Craig?

Whee!

As a Ben Tre Republican, I am simply thrilled whenever one of these authoritarian right wing gay bashers gets caught with their hands in the pickle jar.

Republicans are a gift that keeps giving. What is about the summer months that brings out the best in them? Larry Craig last August and now this fellow? Foley the year before. If this story is true, it's just another nail in the Republicans coffin.

OK, hold the phone.
Is there a source for this story other than left-wing or other political blogs?
I mean it seems what we have here is blog posts linking to other blog posts linking to accounts of 'rumors circulating' about a wife allegedly catching her husband 'en flagrante' or whatever that saying is.
Not that I care, or that question C&L's integrity, but it would be best if this weren't all over the blogosphere without any real corroboration.

Repubs are against gay marriage because it cuts into their cruising base.

Thanks for the linky love!! Be sure to check out the parody songs linked in that post. Be ready to HOWL!!

BobbyFlav @ 16:

Since when is using rumor and innuendo to destroy evil politicians verboten?

Links ahoy!

Wait a minute! I thought gay sex was a choice made by a small number of mentally ill liberals? A few weeks at born again Jesus boot camp and he will be good as new. Who is going to stand next to him and look nauseated and totally pissed like the other wives do?

I really am, honestly, waiting for the first one of these guys to get caught doing the gay, and blaming it on liberals and the 'infestation' of gay culture into our society.

'Gee, I really didn't want to do it... but, I couldn't help myself.. It's EVERYWHERE and I wanted to try it!!!'

Is it ok to say "Homocoming King"? Because I think it's funny.

Someone go tell Bruno to schedule and interview with this guy.

Man. The number of closeted homosexuals that are in the GOP is astounding. As far as I'm concerned they are all closeted by their repressed nature. God this country is hellish.

Ho Hum - another anti-gay republican having gay sex with his anti-gay republican lover and getting caught by the wife. Will it never end?????

Oh Christ...thats rich...

I love it, keep'e, coming

chalk up another one for the contrarian(s)

The reich-wing party....the gift that keeps giving

Dale @ 2:

So King is a queen?

I rember a tv series when I was young called "Sky King".
Now they have renamed it "Sky Queen?"

Can we just admit now the pathological basis of homophobia and opposition to women's reproductive rights? If people weren't so frightened of something in themselves...

The name "Troy King" is practically a parody of a "gay name".

It's not that bad, this is Alabama. The guy is his cousin. I live here, am I proud - not..........

What's that they say about dead girls or live boys?

Imagine that, a closetted homosexual diligently working with the new Republican party to destroy everything for which this country stands!

anybody check Alberto Gonzalez' beard?

The "down low" is alive and well within the Republican Party and the moniker GOPigs is quite fitting. They disgust me.

Does this guy have children? What kind of family values is he adhering to?

Now watch Repubs come out and use the NJ Gov. excuse about being secretly gay etc. The big difference between former NJ gov. is that he was never a hypocrite. He didn't preach against and prosecute gays like this AG in Alabama (Gods country)

The Montgomery newspaper is sitting on the story until they get a government confirmation. However, there was a source that saw him (you'll love this) at a YMCA "making out" with a dude.

And King is catching all this hell for being so completely evil.

It's all part and parcel of the whole self-loathing thing. Basically the whole premis of the book "Great American Hypocrites." Rabid war cheerleaders are in a deep emotional crisis of self denial over their own record of ducking the Vietnam (or Iraq) war, and rabid anti-gay activists are in a deep panic of self-denial over their own closeted homosexual urges.

....and the singularly most conspicuously absent word from that list......"Christianity".

but I don't know if it is self-loathing that drives them as much to their hypocrisy as self-indulgence. Bush is a fine symbol for the "Generation that never grew up".....and if you want to look at why they are arrested adolescents in their 50s...look no farther than the 'greatest' generation that created the most abominable generation of children since Moses sacked Jericho.

When it was Bushie and pals time to go to war, they were all drug-sniffing anti-war liberals who decried the hypocrisy of fighting for rubber in Vietnam.....now of course....that they are parents themselves, they see things entirely differently....and the only solution they have found is to spit on the Constitution.

Stop your whining. You sound bitter.

One picture is worth a thousand words. The boy has major "gayface."

No doubt his ban on sex toys was a major boon to the cucumber and zuchini farmers of Alabama, even if it left his poor wife frustrated.

busy hands are happy hands...hands that can't go wrong!

He wants to punish people for what he likes to engage in while his wife is out! Nice!

"Toy" King. Heh-heh! "Toy" University Homecoming King.

A friend who worked in the emergency room had a woman come in with a sprouting sweet potato trapped inside her. Foliage. And plenty of men with poorly selected objects in them, with improbable stories of how they fell on them.

#73 My point is they would do better with the proper sex toys Troy King would see outlawed.

I'm a former member of the Student Mobilization Committee in the late 60's and early 70s. I used to be in the streets, demonstrating against Nixon and his damn war.

Once again, I find myself out in the street (with a bagpipe now) demonstrating against Bush and his war and McCain. Most of the other demonstrators are my age - at least here in Phoenix. I do not hold it against younger folk that they are not out there, but I wonder why they are not there.

I think that it is probably a mistake to ask "where are all the 60's radicals." As far as I can see, we're still out on the street with a buncha signs and a bagpipe.

perhaps you missed a part of the American experience when young people were protesting in the streets of Washington DC by the hundreds of thousands....it seems at that time that they took issue with hypocrisy and being sent off to war by an older generation.

There were a lot of fringe radicals in the 70s besides the SLA and the BR....perhaps your problem is defining history...or circumstances in general by their most 2 dimensionalized extremes.

I am in Washington DC....and I find myself in enough trouble. But I want to thank you. I greatly appreciate that some of your generation has not forgotten their committment to Liberty. I wonder why more from your generation are not more vocal. Why are they not defending their children better?

I wish kids today would also get out in the streets and realize this is about their future. I don't blame them either though. I know some of them get it.

Phoenix must be a special kind of place though...because I sure don't see those aging hippies on the Mall today.

And you know that I am right...that more from your generation are guilty of helping Bush in his illegal war than are opposing him.

perhaps you should consider you are seeing things that only exist in your imagination. I mean seriously, 4 posts to tell me you think I am paranoid?

I think that is a fine example of your inflammability.

Uh, two of those posts were mistakes? Because I had not had enough vodka yet? Maybe I used paranoid wrongly. Maybe I should have said "a little defensive" instead but calm down. Take it easy.

There were a lot of fringe radicals in the 70s besides the SLA and the BR....perhaps your problem is defining history...or circumstances in general by their most 2 dimensionalized extremes.

I'm a former member of the Student Mobilization Committee in the late 60's and early 70s. I used to be in the streets, demonstrating against Nixon and his damn war.

Once again, I find myself out in the street (with a bagpipe now) demonstrating against Bush and his war and McCain. Most of the other demonstrators are my age - at least here in Phoenix. I do not hold it against younger folk that they are not out there, but I wonder why they are not there.

I think that it is probably a mistake to ask "where are all the 60's radicals." As far as I can see, we're still out on the street with a buncha signs and a bagpipe.

Where are you?

I am in Washington DC....and I find myself in enough trouble. But I want to thank you. I greatly appreciate that some of your generation has not forgotten their committment to Liberty. I wonder why more from your generation are not more vocal. Why are they not defending their children better?

I wish kids today would also get out in the streets and realize this is about their future. I don't blame them either though. I know some of them get it.

Phoenix must be a special kind of place though...because I sure don't see those aging hippies on the Mall today.

And you know that I am right...that more from your generation are guilty of helping Bush in his illegal war than are opposing him.

No, I do not know at all that you are right. I have seen that most of the few counterdemonstrators here are young men in their mid twenties to forties.

And I suspect that I will not see many young people in demonstrations until they feel a little drafty.

I suspect that self interest will be a great motivator.

If you want to believe it was all "the old folk's fault", have at it .

If this is true, and if it breaks big for a week as a tabloid new story - say if the wife goes ballistic and does interviews - then I wonder if it could touch McCain? There are lots of rumors about his top campaign adviser Sen Lindsay Graham and also about potential VP selection Gov. Charlie Crist. Could this scandal end up handing the VP slot to Jindal?

I believe the ONLY way to stop Gay Marriages, is to ban ALL REPUBLICAN marriages.

Are you nuts? If you start doing that to them and get away with it, what's to stop them from doing the same thing to someone we think is "good"? I'm sorry, but the truth is the truth. I don't like Troy's politics any more than the next guy who reads C&L but until there's some concrete proof this is true, I don't see why this should be spread around the internet.

I'm sure there are plenty of news organizations hounding the AG's office; believe me, if they'd found anything it would've been published by now. They're probably still looking.

Maybe C&L and the other blogs who linked this unsubstantiated rumor should do the same thing. And if there's nothing there they should take it off their Web site and retract what was said.

Even if he is a public figure, even if I don't like him, we're the good guys. Don't get ahead by doing the same things they do.

I don't have any problem with gays. I think the reason Republicans are so Anti Gay is they want their gay acts to be even more taboo if their acts were illegal. Stupid hypocrites.

Well… at least it wasn't in the public bathroom for all of to see. I’m glad to see the flaming hypocrite took his nasty acts behind closed doors (not locked doors I guess since he got caught. haha.)

What is going on in Alabama? The former President of the Alabama Bar Association, Gary C. Hucaby, was recently convicted in a sex sting on a Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge for abusive sexual contact on an undercover male federal agent and indecent exposure. All this guy got was probation for attempting to have sex on a federal Wildlife Refuge, a place where families frequently visit, during broad daylight. Again, what is going on in Alabama?

its not what you know, its who you blow...

My favorite arguement to laugh at from the anti-gay, far-right-wing-zealot-christian crowd is always the "Gay Marriage destroys the sanctity of marriage" argument.

Wrong... it's slime like Troy King that destroy the sanctity of marriage. I feel for his soon-to-be-ex-wife. I hope she has enough dignity left to not allow herself to be dragged up to stand next to him while he resigns.

Then again, she married a Republican with political aspirations. What did she think would happen?

OK. I have to admit I've lost count. Can't we just count the number of GOPers that haven't voted against gay rights and that aren't gay. Wouldn't that be easier to keep track of at this point?

Before you blame me, I wasn't even in the Country that day!

Our brains fire on every level, unlike the knuckle-dragging GOPer's who can only recite talking points, and use their brains to follow authoritarian fascists!

This isn't about Troy King being gay it's about the hypocracy of the republican party! I live in Alabama and Troy King is (was) the strongest, most out-spoken, ANTI-GAY person in the state. I should have know, with the intensity of his public outrage against gays, that it was personal. I know him, because I AM a republican, and have been active in with the party until recently. I'm so disgusted with the hypocracy, decit, lies, twsited truths with the republican party - from Bush down the republican pecking order to Troy Perry, the local mayor and counsel members. Who cares if he is gay, bi, transgender, drag queen, or what ever? The point is this: Troy King is a hypocrite and was making headway in this state to introduce (most likely pass) some of the most controversial legislation against; sex toys, porn, private gay/swinger clubs; and even anti gay-pride events. As an straight Alabamian, I am delighted that he got exposed! NOT FOR BEING GAY but for BEING A HYPOCRITE. The RNC is terrified its going to come out about S.C. Senator Lindsay Graham and questions are surfacing about the sinlge Florida Governor Crist. The entire republican party is a group of power hungry, dishonest, liars. A gay neighbor told us that King's wife came home a day early and was able to get into the house, up the steps into their bedroom with her cell phone camera and not be noticed because Troy King was screaming obscenities, and profanities while "riding the magic pony". Its not being gay....its being a hypocrite. He was LOBBYING for some of the most quetsionable, anti gay legislation in the nation. And the southern Baptist, republican Attorney General was making headway because he was more anti-gay than Jerry Falwell! Now whats really sad and scary? Only small are newpapers carried the story this week. Main line news medias in this state (in cooperation with the National Republican Party and John McCain) are not going to report the event. There is a bigger problem than King being caught by his wife...ITS ONE PARTY, already so powerful, its controlling the media and this nation! We BEST WAKE UP ! ! ! November is our LAST CHANCE to remove the republicans from power!

It should be taken for granted any Republican who is an extremist on trying to attack gays and lesbians on civil rights issues is a closet homosexual who is seriously screwed up in their head... PERIOD. Any Republican who attacks the LGBT should have to sign a statement they have never had, nor fantasize, about sexual relations with the same sex. Then when they eventually get caught having toe tapping airport bathroom sex the LIE will all be there in black and white.

I'm just guessing now, but I'll say that the Republican party is about 60 percent gay. From now on everytime I hear about a Republican who's against gay rights, then I'm going to say that he or she is gay.
What's funny now is that since Larry Craig, the elitist corporate media has not brought to light all of these other gay Republicans.

How does a creep like this even get a gay lover? ? ? ?

It must be a power trip play cuz theys don't cotton to no gay people in Alabama. Does they? ? ? Oh, I guess it's okay if you'nse is a Republican whore.

When Sen David Bitter returned to the senate, his Republican friend's done give him a standing ovation. When Sen. "Widestance" returned, his Republicon friends all got a tiny erection. Oh, that GOP, the gift that keeps on giving. Just when you think they can't get any dumber, they do.

They support 'state rights' but when a state allows gay marriage they say they need a 'constitutional amendment' for the federal constitution.
