Crooked Sheriff Paul Babeu admits Being Gay and leaves Romney's Camp


Sheriff Paul Babeu continues his drama as he speaks on working in Romney's camp and the deportation scandal. For the Romney part, Paul said:
"I called the Romney campaign, and I told him I'm going to step away from the campaign," Babeu told a crowd of reporters. He says the campaign told him: "We support your decision, sheriff."
He was the Arizona co-chair of Mitt Romney's campaign. However, the scandal continues to draw more questions and concerns.
Babeu characterized the business dispute as ending after his attorney, Chris DeRose, demanded from Jose all the passwords to the accounts they say were hacked. However, letters provided to New Times detail continued exchanges between DeRose and Melissa Weiss-Riner.
If the matters were settled, and there were no further attempts to persuade Jose into silence, then why would DeRose continue contacting Weiss-Riner?

Weiss-Riner, who received the phone calls directly from DeRose, stands by her clients' allegations.
Babeu admitted to reporters that he did have a personal relationship with Jose, the man who reached out to New Times to share his story. And he also said he did not deny the veracity of the text messages or photos published by our publication.

In one series of texts Jose provided, the sheriff himself appears to be threatening his former lover:
Babeu: "You can never have business after this and you will harm me and many others in the process . . . including yourself & your family."

Babeu followed with: "And you say you have loved me? Papi . . . this is no good."

Jose responded: "Good threats. Wont work. Im already hurt me . . . and you didn't care."

Then later:
Jose: "Dont threat me. Thats illegal. Im just speaking . . . true."

Babeu: "You have crossed the line. Better get an attorney. You brother will also be contacted."
I feel like this is going to get worse.

What's worse is that the Right will look on this as how being gay damages people, as opposed to how remaining closeted and abusing the gay people damages them.

Also, congrats on passing 2,000,000 pageviews.

Republicans are the biggest hyprocrites, especially when it comes to gays.

I just wrote a blog about an encounter I had with a Republican aide.

Keep up the good work on your blog. You give up-to-the-minute updates on issues relevant to gay folks. Appreicate it much.
