by Claudine Zap The California state Senator Roy Ashburn , whose arrest caused a frenzy of searches, has come clean. Not about his DUI. That was public knowledge, and he already apologized for his mistake. No, he admitted to what many bloggers and the rumor mill had already suspected: The anti-gay rights politician is gay . To recap, the state senator was arrested in a state-owned car last week on suspicion of driving under the influence. Well, that was embarassing.
