Oh, god. We just threw up in our mouths a little.
Audio from Alabama’s antigay governor’s phone sex session with a much younger female staffer has leaked to the media, and it’s totally gross.
Gov. Robert Bentley is currently under fire over an alleged affair he had with one of his top advisors, Rebekah Caldwell Mason, back in 2014. Despite damning audio records, which appeared online yesterday, Bentley maintains that a “physical relationship” between the pair never happened.

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.
The tape, however, suggests otherwise:
“You know what?” Bentley can be heard cooing in the recording. “When I stand behind you and I put my arms around you, and I put my hands on your breasts, and I put my hands on you (unintelligible) and pull you real close … Hey, I love that too, putting my hands under you.”
Barf!
“I love you,” he continues. “I love to talk to you. I do … But baby, lemme tell you what we’re gonna have to do tonight: Start locking the door. If we’re gonna do what we did the other day, we’re gonna have to start locking the door!”

Bentley, who is, er, was married to his wife, Dianne for half a century before she unexpectedly divorced him last year, has been a vocal opponent of marriage equality for years. He once called gay marriage a “social experiment,” claiming it “destroys the rights of children to be connected to their biological parents.”
At a press conference yesterday, the governor, who, BTW, is a a former Baptist deacon, admitted to having an “inappropriate”call with Mason, calling it “a mistake.”
He also insisted he won’t be stepping down from office.

So this is the sanctity of marriage that Rebiblicans are always yammering about? His 50 year marriage is ending in divorce. He called our marriages a “social experiment.” Oh and the inaudible portion of the tape is, “between your knees.” My spouse said it best, “What a goat.”

So he violated sexual harassment laws.

Hypocrite.

This is the worst kind of hypocrisy!

What a horrible, hypocritical anti-gay pig, but should anyone expect any less from people like Bentley?
The GOP destroyed the life of Don Siegelman, the last Democratic governor of Alabama (Google Siegelman’s name), have consolidated power there as they have in other Southern states, and are now pushing law after law to roll back gay rights, civil rights, women’s reproductive rights, etc. Their new thing is “religious freedom.”
But it always comes back to denying rights and equality to people they dislike so that a few can control power. Disgusting, and Bentley is chief among them.

Not surprised

Totally beside the point, but the gov. reminds me of the guy who played the part of Kane in the movie “Poltergeist”.
Mark Pawelczak
Should’ve been impeached for cheating on his wife with a staffer….but that’s redneck legal!
Victor Barry
Yeah, Alabama.

Oops ! Busted ! Don’t be anti gay while you chase the pussy cat !!!

Too funny! I hope he’s mortified.

Make him step down
Daniel Salmeron
who cares, it’s his sex life, not mine. its between him and his wife and any legal action that may be possible based on the relationship he had with the other person. other than that, i could care less.
Gee Rosato
Isn’t that the guy who wouldn’t let carol-Ann go after he to get out of her bedroom????
He BGB
Wonder if he takes those obvious false teeth out when he does the deed? Bet he denies everythingg. Somebody else’s voice etc. Because God forbid a Republican getting caught in adultery . Even Grandpa Munster Cruz is in the national enquirer having alledged 5 affairs.

“I wish I were in the land of cotton….” Ah the southern charm of a gentleman caller. Remind me again why we want the south?
Justin Taylor
Time to force him to resign or call for impeachment. Can’t be a ‘Family Values Governor’ if you’re fooling around with people OTHER then who you are married to. Maybe the citizens should try a Re-Call election if it’s an option in their state.

just pull all business out of AL – don’t threaten – DO IT!!

Christians have the dirtiest of minds–they imagine things that would make most gay people blush. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh–we know he has a dirty heart.
Ross D Frankel
Impeach the Gov.
Dan Bray
You think that’s really dirty talking? Whoever wrote that headline clearly hasn’t had phone sex then. That’s tame to say the least.
Kevin J Desmond
He looks like a sexual predator to me … so I’m guessing that’s what he is.
Scott McIntosh
what do you expect? these homophobes are obsessed by sex and totally fucked up about it
woodin
love the public declaration of these self proclaimed Christians, then doing the unchristian thing…. but, their belief system (rationale) their sins will be cleansed for heaven because they claimed to be saved…..really…a butch of opportunistic hillbilly logic.
Don Hanover
as usual the republicans … as usual, are liars
martinbakman
It’s the woman’s fault. She a sinner and temptress.
IanHunter
He looks like that dead preacher Rev. Kane in the movie Poltergeist 2.
Richard Lee Zweiben Klein
These homophobes are obsessed with us gays and lesbians because I truly believe they’re angry frustrated closet cases. His aging face looks evil as sin. ð??ð?»ð??ð?»

Ya know, someday we won’t hear of this anti-gay hoopla because it will no longer be news. After all of the squawking we heard from Roy Moore and the other GOP bigots in Alabama, it is getting boring. Even the North Carolina anti-gay law that was passed already happened in Indiana and failed when they started losing money. It will happen in North Carolina, and Georgia better not pass it because they will lose money big time.

I love this line from the book “The Age of Innocence” by Edith Wharton:
