Alabama's first openly gay lawmaker threatens to 'out' officials having extramarital affairs

Alabama's first openly gay state legislator fired back on Facebook over the weekend, including a threat to expose the affairs of state officials, to comments made by Republican Party officials in the wake of a federal judge declaring the state ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional.

State Rep. Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, said she was elated and in "shock" when the judge issued the order overturning Alabama's same-sex marriage ban.

But after seeing comments by Republican officials, particularly from Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, and seeing Attorney General Luther Strange's efforts to get a stay of the judge's orders, Todd fired off an emotional Facebook post making a threat to expose politicians' dalliances.

"This (is) a time where you find out who are accepting, loving people. To say I am disappointed in Speaker Hubbard comment's and Attorney General Strange choice to appeal the decision is an understatement. I will not stand by and allow legislators to talk about 'family values' when they have affairs, and I know of many who are and have.

How would she know? It isn’t something that fellow legislators would talk about? Lots of men and women spend more time with co-workers of the opposite sex than their spouses, especially if you don’t count sleeping hours. It doesn’t mean we’re having affairs.

Kinda like the time Jimmy Swaggart was bedded down with a mistress and a competing evangelist let the air out of his tires and called the press.

I’d much rather be known as an adulter, than a homo.
