BOSTON - Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay person elected to Congress, died early Saturday at Boston Medical Center, a hospital official said. He was 69.
Christian Kiriakos, central administrator at the hospital, said Studds died between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. He did not have additional information, and details of Studds' death could not be immediately confirmed.
Studds, a liberal Democrat who spent more than 20 years in Congress, was censured by the House in the 1980s for having sex with a 17-year-old male page. He was re-elected for several more terms.
Last year he married his longtime partner, Dean Hara, in Boston.
I wish he could rest in peace, but from my philosophical stand point, he is not.
Any good that he did in his life will forever be overshadowed by his lust for the flesh of men.
So shall he reap what he soweth.
So sad.
What does Karl Rove have to say about this?
I'd also bet ole Gerry STUDDS lived up to his last name.
Probably a real gay STUD!
can't wait to see and hear the eulogizing about this guy.
This is eerie. I do not remember much being made of this at the time.Funny how the memory goes....
A 17 year old page? And he actually had sex with him?
And then didn't resign?
I'm finding this all hard to believe.
Two sex with pages scandals at the same time. A conservative Republican (Dan Crane, brother of Phil) from downstate Illinois had consensual, adultrous sex with a female page. And this Studds geek, a liberal Devilcrat who had sex (possibly coerced, my memory on that is fuzzy) with a male page. Guess who stayed in ofice.
"Dies at 69"
Hey, I've heard of rough sex but this is ridiculous!
"BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay person elected to Congress, died early Saturday at Boston Medical Center, several days after he collapsed while walking his dog, his husband said."
Does this mean his husband gets his retirement pay from all of us for the rest of his life?
chocked to death ??????
A 17 year old page? And he actually had sex with him?
Had sex? Thank God that's all that happened, I thought he might have sent him naughty messages, now that would be a story.
"Probably a real gay STUD!"
Since his husband reported his death, wouldn't that make him a studette?
By the way, if memory serves me, Studds was given the chairmanship of the Fish, Wildlife and Environment subcommittee in the house as a form of punishment. (sarcasm)
ooops.........choked to death ??????
I had never heard of the creep, either.
Did you know that there is actually a "Gerry E. Studds Visibility Award"? I just discovered this 5 minutes ago.
So studds was the "wife?" Oh good grief!
Not only didn't resign, but was re-elected 6 MORE TIMES!
Maybe hard to believe, but it is TRUE.
