An infamous foe of marriage equality is actually (gasp) an adulterer. And not a it-was-a-onetime-mistake adulterer: Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), a doctor and vocal proponent of “God-given traditional marriage, has been laid bare as a serial cheater.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that legal papers from DesJarlis’ 2001 divorce reveal the Tea Party favorite had liaisons with at least two patients, three coworkers and a drug representative.
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.
During one affair with a female patient, DesJarlais prescribed her drugs, gave her an $875 watch and bought her a plane ticket to Las Vegas, records show.
But even though he doesn’t take his marriage vows seriously, DesJarslais is in favor of legislation banning same-sex nuptials.
Not surprisingly, DesJarlais is also a hypocrite when it comes to a woman’s right to choose. He bills himself as an ardent pro-lifer but encouraged his wife to have two abortions and allegedly pressured a mistress to terminate her pregnancy as well. He excused his wife’s first abortion as “therapeutic” because there were “potential risks.” The second one was okay because “things were not going well between us.”
Well, so long as neither were from legitimate rape.
Honestly, what amazes us is that DesJarlais, who looks like Cousin Itt’s ugly brother, got so many women to sleep with him. He must have amazing powers of persuasion because, even after these allegations surfaced, he got the people of Tennessee to reelect him last week.
All together now: What a douche!

Looks like another republican kiddie fiddler.

Doesn’t say too much good about Tennesseeans, does it? Intelligence is not their strong forte ‘down there’.

Don’t judge the whole state of TN. He reigns of a rural area of the state.

“Family values” David Vitter got re-elected in Louisiana in 2008 after it was discovered he had used prostitutes. White Southerners hate black people that much…

Now I wonder what NOM has to say about that? Even FRC’s Tony Perkins is blaming the Petraeus scandal on gays. Isn’t it interesting that in almost all of these scandals, nine times out of ten it’s always a republican bigot. Speaks volumes about the party of Jimmy LaSalvia and Chris Barron, the party of bigotry, racism and hate.
