In news that will surprise absolutely nobody, a conservative antigay politician who opposes gay marriage in public has been having a grand old sexy time in private.
This time it happened in Northern Ireland. The man’s name is Ross Hussey — yes, of course it is — and he’s a member of the legislative assembly. Previously, his greatest claim to fame was a self-described resemblance to Family Guy character Peter Griffin. That’s maybe not an association that anyone would want, but he probably won’t ever have to worry about it again, because now he’ll always be known as the “stranger sex” man.

Hussey was busted by a newspaper that was tipped off by a citizen unhappy with his voting record. A reporter posed as a suitor on a hookup site — they don’t say which one, just that it’s for gay and bisexual men, and that Hussey identified as “bi-curious” — and were soon rewarded with a bunch of Hussey nudes. Those, too, were sadly not shared with the public. Eventually they made arrangements to meet at a hotel for sex. Fun!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Look, obviously it’s not a problem that he has lots of fun sloppy sex with whoever he wants. That’s great. But he also opposed marriage equality, which is simply exasperating. If he’s going to have a good time flopping around with men (and everybody should!) then attacking LGBTQs for political gain is simply shameful.
That’s what Hussey — and politicians like him — should be criticized for. Some newspapers have tried to claim that it’s a “security risk” for him to have sex with strangers, which is pretty silly. He’s a grown man, he can take care of himself. The sex is fine. Go have fun, enjoy yourself Ross. Just stop trampling the rights of everyone else.

I have to criticize this article. This was an invasion of Ross Hussey’s privacy, and both the paper and the journalist who broke the story have been criticized across the board here in Northern Ireland from all parties. Whilst Hussey hasn’t supported same-sex marriage in NI, he supports civil partnerships. There is really no other evidence that he is “anti-gay” and as far as I know he has never “attacked” LGBTQIA people for political gain. I’m not against calling out homophobes but really, supporting this leak for his supposed homophobia is like hanging someone for stealing an apple.

It’s possible to be opposed to homosexual male promiscuity and yet be interested in taking part in homosexual male activity. I see no hypocrisy there. They are two different issues.

This is NOT news! By now everyone should know most conservates are closet homosexuals. We have more important issue to be concerned with.

@Brian:”It’s possible to be opposed to homosexual male promiscuity and yet be interested in taking part in homosexual male activity. I see no hypocrisy there. They are two different issues.”
You make no sense. What he did is essentially the definition of promiscuity. If in fact he opposes equal rights and full enfranchisement for homosexuals (those who do the sorts of thing he did when engaging in promiscuous sex with men), he is a hypocrite (by definition…there is not one bit of ambiguity there). As mentioned in past comments to you and the rest of your log cabin ilk, words have actual meanings and if you are concerned with communication you must use those meanings. “Homosexual male activity” could be same sex Morris Dance, or a bridge club for gay men. What the politician did was engage in promiscuous homosexual activity.

@Brian: UMMMM yes. It is possible to oppose “homosexual male promiscuity” and still want a little dick on the side. But unless you are equating marriage equality with promiscuity, your comment has nothing to do with this article.

@dwes09: Darn you Dwes. You always seem to sneak in ahead of me and say essentially the same thing as I, only more eloquently. Damn your command of the English language. Are you spoken for? Oh wait a minute, I am. Never mind.
Brian
I don’t see any hypocrisy in Hussey. He opposes gay marriage for various reasons but that doesn’t mean he has to be opposed to male homosexual activity. If he is partaking of sexual activity with men, he is NOT contradicting himself.
It’s hilarious how you queens can’t or won’t distinguish between issues.
Goforit
@Brian: Ah yes. You can’t come up with an intelligent defense for your position, so the name calling begins. How charming. I wouldn’t have expected anything less from you Brian.

It is a security risk for gov’t employees and policy makers to have active secret sex persuasions.
That’s why, in the U.S., the CIA and the FBI were some of the first gov’t agencies to accept openly gay prospects.
(only after J.Edgar died – which is very ironic)
It’s pretty hard to blackmail a male agent (or lawmaker) for having sex with men if he’s openly known for preferring sex with men – but it’s very easy to blackmail an agent (or lawmaker) who claims to be straight and is married to a woman but secretly has sex with men.

@theAnonyMoose: Not when the person is in public office. They’re supposed to be an open book showing their character. And he sure did show his hypocracy.
Gigi Gee
@Brian: Sounds like years and years of alcohol fueled nameless, faceless hookups with other closet cases have turned you into a bitter old queen, Brian. Get help.
Hussey expressed opposition to marriage equality. He obviously wasn’t opposed to male promiscuity, heterosexual or homosexual, as he was looking for random hookups online.
DCguy
@theAnonyMoose: If he opposes marriage but supports “Civil Partnerships” then he is homophobic because that is as anti-gay as you can get in most areas there and still get elected.
What you just said is the same as saying “He’s not sexist, he opposes women voting for president but doesn’t mind them voting in local elections!”
Brian
@Gigi Gee: Searching for a random hook-up online does not make one promiscuous. Searching for ten hook-ups, yes…but one? No.
@DCguy: Not really. If he opposes gay marriage, it may not be because he’s anti-gay. .It may be because he wants to preserve the original meaning of marriage.

Lol serves him right.

” Go have fun, enjoy yourself Ross. Just stop trampling the rights of everyone else. “…..the article states.
Well stated.
