the fact that he is gay is not relevant to anything
it is a distraction from him doing something ILLEGAL
which is using public funds for private purchases.
AND... on top of that,... being stupid enough to use government credit card in a GAY PORN SHOP
so, he gets caught and wants to make the issue a revelation on his being gay- instead of the real issue which is that he is a stupid moron crook.
That tactic seems to work pretty well in today's America. At the very least he'll get preferential treatment from the press.
‘...it is a distraction from him doing something ILLEGAL...’
Really.
Let him borrow a phrase from Jim McGreevy’s book: I am a gay expense padder.
Bingo! Your post is correct. He’s just a two bit stupid thief.
