Texas Republicans: Being a drag queen is OK, it's just being gay that's evil
Readers, I am not making this up!
And the beauty part is a Republican whining about the use of "private information." Say, does being a drag queen rise to the level of an impeachable offense?
Photographs of a male Republican candidate for the Texas House in women's clothing surfaced last week, and party leaders urged the candidate, Sam Walls, to withdraw. Mr. Walls, 64, rejected the calls on Monday, saying he would not give in to "blackmail" from opponents trying to use "very old, personal information" to force him out of the race. "Now my opponent is using the private information in an attempt to intimate that I am a homosexual, which I am not," Mr. Walls said in a statement.
