BOSTON May 15, 2005 — Former U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay member of Congress, quietly married his longtime partner last year after same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts, according to a published report. Studds, a liberal Democrat who spent more than 20 years in Congress, married Dean Hara in Boston on May 24, the Patriot Ledger of Quincy reported Sunday. Studds, 68, and Hara, 47, declined to comment for the Ledger's story. First elected to Congress in 1973, Studds built a loyal constituency that returned him to Washington with an average of nearly 70 percent of the vote over 12 elections. That loyalty was tested in 1983 when it was revealed that Studds had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male congressional page. He publicly acknowledged being gay and was censured by the House for sexual misconduct. Studds admitted an error in judgment but did not apologize, and in 1984 was re-elected with 56 percent of the vote. Tuesday is the one-year anniversary of legal gay marriage in Massachusetts. More than 6,000 same-sex couples have gotten married in the past year.

Boston Creme Puffs? Really though, this guy is no hypocrite, so he only makes an "honorable" mention in this category. Sorry.
Crap. I was just winding up to have fun with it too.
Feel free to continue. What the fucking faggot lacks in pious, he more than makes up for in perv. Chop at will.

A 21 year age differential...
I think that's the mentor/young protege syndrome, explained in depth by one who should know on DailyKos a few months ago.
That's what made Batman and Robin seem funny to me.
Holy Batman! I never thought of that.
It explains the prancing around in tights. And Bruce Wayne is rich and good looking but can't seen for get a date.
Men in tights is an acquired taste, I'm thinking. Was there much prancing? I don't remember.
Well, this has gotten just a little too disturbing for me. I think I'll retire to my shop with my stun-gun and give myself some shock therapy.
Appreciate what you have. Little kids in Africa are going to be tonight without getting zapped.
We do live a much better life in Amerika.

Only friendly countries get new improved zappers.
