"Foley, a five-term congressman, refused to answer questions about whether he is gay, saying his sexual preference had no bearing on his duties as a lawmaker."

He's gay.

But I thought that the all loving liberals don't care about that. I don't know if this guy is gay or not, and I don't care, so long as he doesn't try to indoctrinate my children. The democrats apparently have a problem with a Republican who may or may not be gay. Rank hypocrites....

They don't, but they figure conservatives do and wouldn't vote for him if that was the case. An approach of stripping support of the challenger instead of building support for your candidate.
