A Gay RNC Head?

By Byron LaMasters

The Washington Blade all but outed Ken Mehlman in May.

Now, Mehlman has been tapped by Bush to lead the RNC.

Mehlman has refused to answer questions about his sexual orientation. Considering that Mehlman was Bush's campaign manager, and a lead campaign spokesman who was frequently called upon to defend Bush's GLBT policies, including the Federal Marriage Amendment, I would think that Mehlman's sexual orientation is certainly relevent.

America Blog and BlogActive have more.

Update: Atrios hits the nail on the head. I could care less who Ken Mehlman is or isn't screwing. This is about whether a gay man will lead the supposed "values" party.

Maybe Republicans will use this to be gay-friendly while still being against gay marriage. I can see Hannity spewing now, "Don't get me wrong, I have some gay friends, and they're good people, but accpeting homosexuals has nothing to do with accapeting homosexual marriage."
