An aide for Democratic Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan was arrested after allegedly choking his male lover, threatening to stab him with a knife and then whacking him with a shovel, authorities said.

Tim Foster is, er, was the online communications director for Rep. Levin. That is, until last Thursday when he allegedly got into a heated verbal altercation with a man who identified himself as Foster’s boyfriend.
Roll Call reports the argument occurred at around 12:30 a.m. on October 8 in Baltimore. It’s unclear what sparked the blowup, but, according to police, Foster allegedly put the other man in a chokehold then yelled, “I want to kill you! Die dirty faggy!”
How about we take this to the next level?

The boyfriend managed to break free. That’s when Foster grabbed a stainless steel kitchen knife and began waving it around in the air, threatening to stab him.

Things took an even more dramatic turn moments later when Foster’s wife — that’s right, he’s married to a woman — jumped between the two men in an effort to break up the fight. Foster dropped the knife then grabbed a shovel, hitting his boyfriend in the back as he fled for the safety of his car.
The boyfriend managed to escape and immediately drove to a nearby hospital where he was treated for abrasions and bruises on his upper back, neck and torso, police said.
Rep. Levin’s office says the issue is “a completely private matter” and it would not be commenting other than to say Foster has since been placed on unpaid leave.
A trial is scheduled for November 10.

It’s unclear what sparked the blowup? Oh, I dunno, you and your wife are home at 12:30 am and your male lover shows up at the door. Most married men don’t take that well.

It started inside the home, not on a doorstep. Seems they all knew the “arrangement” and it was simply an escalated lover’s quarrel, potentially within a 3 way relationship. What else is new.

jail time is due in this case!!

Die dirty faggy? Did somebody forget to tell him that if he’s sleeping with a “Dirty Faggy” then he is one too?

Since “married” now refers to more than just opposite sex couples, I wish news sites (ESPECIALLY gay ones!) stopped using “married” in their headlines to refer to hetero marriage. I guess old habits die hard.

Levin should fire this guy immediately. Levin is someone that is very pro-LGBT and this type of behavior is not acceptable. It might be acceptable in the republican party, but Levin is someone who has pushed for equality and acceptance. It was Sander Levin who is pushing changes in the tax code to help same sex couples. Simply winning the court battle wasn’t the end.

Married guy. OK, so it wasn’t these two Rhodes Scholars:

A lot of men have sexual desires for men but choose to marry women for reasons that include sexual desire but, more importantly, wanting a stable nuclear family life with children and a home with a white picket fence. This is the ideal stable unit.
Men choose to marry women for sexual desire and for a lifestyle that involves the nuclear family.
Giancarlo85
@Brian: Unfortunately for you, none of those men have sexual desires towards you. By the way, “a stable nuclear family life”… really? You really are a heterosexual right wing bigot. Explain to me why there are hundreds of thousands of kids left out in the adoption system by those prized nuclear families?

I’m convinced that some of these people do this just for the attention, who does stuff like that…in real life…
