GOP Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu Admits Gay Affair with Illegal Immigrant
In Arizona, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, a well-known anti-illegal immigrant proponent, co-chair of Mitt Romney's Arizona's campaign and Republican Congressional candidate, has been exposed as being gay by a man who told the Phoenix New Times that he was Babeu’s ex-lover (video below).
The two men (pictured, left) allegedly met on Gay.com.
The Phoenix New Times published an interview with a man whom they called "José," a 34-year-old homosexual from Mexico, who said that Babeu’s lawyer threatened to deport him if he spoke of the affair after they broke up.
Babeu then admitted in a press conference that he was gay, stepped down the Romney campaign, but denied the rumors that he threatened anyone with deportation.
Babeu was running for Congress and chairing the Arizona Mitt Romney campaign when the story broke.

This is classical "reaction formation" from Freudian psychoanalysis. The people most threatened by homosexuality are the ones who are reacting to what they hate most in themselves.
For the rest of us who are not gay, we might be appalled when we are hit on by someone of the same sex, otherwise it just doesn't matter. This is why I support gay rights - I am comfortable in my heterosexuality and don't view gay people as threats to me or mine. People are people. Who they sleep with is not my business if the act is between consenting adults.
How strange that most of the
How strange that most of the anti-gay crusaders that are caught with their pants down (literally) in gay affairs seem to be Republiturds.
No, when I hear them ranting about the "sanctity of marriage" and the "threat of gays recruiting" I have to think of Shakespeare. "Methinks they doth protest too much."
