I wonder if Congress will honor him by naming the dorm where the pages sleep after him???
In North Carolina there is a large public building named after a convicted pedophile. A talk radio host has been talking about it and wants to get the building renamed.
The same people who are making Hastert's life a living hell would call you a "homophobe" or "hatemonger" if you oppposed naming the pages' dorm after Studds.
They would sue you if you were the Boy Scouts of America and had a rule against gay scoutmasters.
If three years ago Hastert has initiated a serious probe after hearing about the "overly friendly emails (not the IMs)" there would have been a firestorm of outrage about the GOP having a gay witch hunt.
Another interesting mayhaps convoluted question....
Will "the grieving widower" be entitled to survivor payments and bennies (at taxpayers expense!)...
....As would normally be payable to a surviving spouse for life??
The Gerry E. Studds Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, which sits at the mouth of Massachusetts Bay, is named for Studds
