Conservative closet case politician accused of molesting boys while a Boy Scout troop leader. Don't know if the accusations are true, but in any case this story should demonstrate why closet cases ought not to be scout leaders, but will no doubt be interpreted to warn against letting openly gay men work with boys.
As for the double-life of Spokane's Mayor James E. West -- homophobic politician by day, online gay-sex cruiser by night, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!"
By the way, I don't think this is in any way comparable to the
outing of conservative journalist Jeff Gannon. Gannon was not an
elected official using his office to push for anti-gay legislation.
But outing advocates will, no doubt, cite this case as
justification for delving into the personal life of anyone
who is politically right of center.
