Freaky-a** Republicans, Part 7
The tried and true political strategy of Republican lawmakers is “guns, God and gays”. I find the latter most funny because there are so many gay Republicans. However, in the Republican party, being gay is tantamount to a crime, particularly if you are looking to hold public office.
This brings us to the case of Rep. Richard Curtis, a Washington state legislator. Curtis recently resigned after it was discovered that he had sex with another man he met at an adult video store while at a GOP retreat.
This was uncovered after Curtis went to police that he was being extorted by the man in question, Cody Castagna. Though Curtis initially denied it to newspaper, police reports show that Curtis complained of being extorted by a man with whom he had sex with in a Spokane hotel.
When Castagna was arrested, he told authorities that Curtis had reneged on an agreement to pay $1000 for sex with him. Curtis had only paid him $200 and Castagna threatened to out Curtis if he didn’t pay him the other $800.
According to Curtis, he didn’t solicit sex from the man. Instead, he was trying to “help him out”. Curtis also says that he didn’t give the man $200 for sex. Instead, he gave him only $100 for “gas money”.
Curtis is married, for now.
A Republican successor has been chosen and will serve out the rest of Curtis’ term.
