Hospital: former Rep. Studds dies at 69
Yahoo! News ^ | 10/14/06 | Yahoo! News

Posted on 10/14/2006 7:20:42 AM PDT by melt

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.

He will no doubt be dealing with the consequences of his earthly desires.

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.

Yeah ... too much of that probably allowed AIDS into his tormented life. Of course they don't want to disclose THAT.

Bet ya a cyber dollar, AIDS conquered him.

"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."

Ah, that's because you're not a Demoncrat. It makes perfect sense to a Demoncrat to have DOUBLE STANDARDS and feign outrage ONLY because a Republican is involved.

Let me get this straight, Studds is glorified and honored by the MSM for actually having sex with a teenage page and was married to a "man" in Massachusetts while Foley is vilified for having perverted conversations to a former male page through IM who was actually 18 during the contacts and never did have sex with him? No media bias here that I can see. (sarc)

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?

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)

Don't be surprised - at the time, the MSM had an almost absolute lock on what we saw.

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.

Yup!

A studette is in mourning. LOL! Probably busily sodomizing someone else even before this guy drew his last breath.

I hope he didn't head that! There's no telling what he'd do with ANIMALS! Defenseless ANIMALS!!!!

I know! HAVING SEX with a minor is okay as long as you are NOT send naughty messages. Demoncrats have difference standards for OTHERS.
