Isn't it sweet when hypocrites get exposed? Naturally, the district attorney in question is a Republican and campaigned as a "family values" supporter. Why is it that these frauds delight in tormenting and disparaging gays while they are meanwhile engaging in illicit activities themselves? Such hypocrites!! 365gay.com has an overview (http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/01/011708da.htm) of the story. In addition, numerous articles can be found at the Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/index.html) about the scandal and investigation. Here are highlights from 365gay.com's coverage:(Houston, Texas) The district attorney who defended the Texas law criminalizing homosexuality before the US Supreme Court is desperately trying to keep his job following the discovery of e-mails containing sexually explicit videos, racist jokes and what is described as torrid love notes to his executive secretary.
Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal (R) is facing a state investigation into the emails which were discovered on his office computer. If he is found in violation of "official misconduct'' he could be removed from office. The office computer also contained evidence he had used it for political purposes. Rosenthal who is married and portrayed himself as a "family values" candidate ended his re-election campaign last week after the sexy emails to his secretary were discovered. His current term runs out at the end of 2008.
But in 2002 it was "family values" Rosenthal who argued before the US Supreme Court that the Texas law against sodomy was upholding the moral values of the state and was in place to protect families. The case was Lawrence v Texas. In his arguments he condemned adultery and homosexual acts.
