Anti-Gay GOPster Caught With Pants Down

Remember when Susan Smith, the woman who murdered her two sons, told the
world that her father, a local Republican / Christian Coalition leader, had
sexually abused her  since she was a girl? Smith' father is not the only
anti-gay crusader from the unChristian Coalition who has been caught with
his pants down. Reasonable folks are starting to ask  why the GOP's
unChristian Coalition doesn't focus on sin in their own damn family, instead
of spending so much time promoting legislation that would deny basic civil
rights like marriage to gay Americans.

LAWMAKER ADMITS TO SEX WITH PROSTITUTES (excerpt)

Marvin Couch, a conservative Christian, wants to finish House term

By Sharon McBreen and John Kennedy, TALLAHASSEE BUREAU

   TALLAHASSEE -- State Rep. Marvin Couch, a family-values, conservative
Christian legislator, has been charged with having sex with a prostitute in
his truck at an Orange County shopping center.

   The Oviedo Republican paid $22 for oral sex from a prostitute he picked
up
Feb. 22 on Orange Blossom Trail, deputy sheriffs said Wednesday. He was
charged with three misdemeanors and released after posting a $750 bond.

   Couch, 42, said he will not seek re-election this fall but hopes to
complete his second term, which expires in November.

   He also admitted he has purchased sex from prostitutes on other
occasions...

   ...In addition to prostitution, agents charged Couch with unnatural or
lascivious acts and exposure of his sexual organs...

   ...Couch has been an ardent supporter of the religious right's political
agenda. Last year he was one of a few Central Florida lawmakers to receive a
perfect 100 rating from the Orlando-based Christian Coalition of Florida.

   The District 33 lawmaker has been a steady advocate for so-called
pro-family legislation, including voluntary school prayer, crime-fighting
measures and anti-tax issues.

   Couch also joined 14 other state legislators last fall in writing a
letter to the Walt Disney Co. criticizing its new policy of extending health
insurance to partners of gay and lesbian employees...
