The New York Post ran a blind item this morning in which they intimated that an anti gay-marriage Brooklyn-based politician has been shacking up in Manhattan with her lesbian partner.

Well, those insatiable political gossips over at BlogActive did some digging and found an advert in the Gay City News reading:

Please call Assemblywoman Helene E. Weinstein from Brooklyn, chair of the Committee on Judiciary and ask her why she refuses to sponsor the same sex marriage legislation. Please education her as to why our same sex relationships matter and our right to marry is a civil rights issue. She can be reached at her office: 718-648-4700.

This politically motivated advert - which also thanks marriage supporters, such as openly gay Senator Tom Duane - led BlogActive to assume Weinstein to be the Post's politician. And it turns out they may be right:

Numerous activists and political sources in calls and emails with BlogActive have confirmed that Weinstein is the Assemblywoman mentioned in the New York Post item.

Are we the only ones who find the prospect of a lying labia-lover refreshing? Seriously, we usually have to deal with all those cock suckers - this is a welcome change of pace.

Those scamps over at BlogActive have done it again. They're parodying the infamous "race-baiting" commercial the Republican National Committee aired against Democrat Harold Ford to take the piss out of maybe-sorta-gay RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman. Brilliant.

Yes, we know there's a big debate surrounding the so-called politics of outing. While we've yet to come to a concrete conclusion on where we stand, Michael Rogers and his Blogactive homies know exactly where they stand.

After years of investigating political hypocrisy with little results, Rogers etc are breaking out the big guns by outing gay anti-gay politicians. On today's hit list: Larry Craig, the Republican from Idaho who has never made his homo-hating ways a secret. Too bad Craig's allegedly a big homo. According to Rogers:

I have done extensive research into this case, including trips to the Pacific Northwest to meet with men who have say they have physical relations with the Senator. I have also met with a man here in Washington, D.C., who says the same -- and that these incidents occurred in the bathrooms of Union Station. None of these men know each other, or knew that I was talking to others. They all reported similar personal characteristics about the Senator, which lead me to believe, beyond any doubt, that their stories are valid.

This isn't the first time Craig's sexuality has come under fire. Back in 1982, during the Congressional page scandal that would lead to the documentary, Conspiracy of Silence, Craig preemptively announced that he had no role in the affair, prompting many to dig a little deeper into his personal life. For video of that denial, head over to Blogactive's article.

Given his past would-be outings, it's not surprising that Craig and his office have already issued a statement. New West reports:

Senator Craig’s office flatly rejected the claims. "The Senator says this story is absolutely ridiculous – almost laughable," said press secretary Sid Smith. “It has no basis in fact.”

Well, if it has "no basis in fact", then they should push forward with a slander suit. Of course, we're sure the Senator doesn't want a full investigation, so we suspect that he'll just sweep it under the carpet. Like his sexuality, perhaps?

Also, can we just take a moment to say that we can't recall another time when the core of the Republican party seemed so fragile. We may have a new gay revolution on our hands, kiddies. Get excited!

Now that hapless House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been indicted on criminial conspiracy, his position is left wide, wide open.

The Republicans have handed the anti-gay baton over to California Representative David Dreier. Dreier is "unmarried," "outgoing," and lives with another man. That's exactly how poor naive mom would describe our living situation with our post-college "roommate" to prying relatives.

Our nosy political friends at BlogACTIVE have been exposing Dreier's "tendencies" since way before Britney's first marriage. Check out the site for all of the scandalous gay details.

UPDATE
Looks like Dreier's still in, but the GOP has given him a boyfriend to play with.
