Gay Republican State Senator Speaks Out

CA Sen. Roy Ashburn Wasn't Drunk Or Cruising When He Voted For Gay Soldiers

Republican State Senator Roy Ashburn, a political conservative from the Central Valley, was the only GOP vote in Sacramento on Thursday in favor of a resolution demanding an end to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell " policy in the U.S. military.

For him, the issue was clear.

"Since the time of Julius Caesar, there have been gay people in the military, and it's time to end the practice of requiring people to conceal who they are," said Ashburn, R-Bakersfield.
