Anti-Gay Alabama Attorney General Busted in Bed With A Man?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Troy King, the Attorney General of Alabama, has been dogged by gay rumors for some time now. The hardcore Republican and foe of gay marriage, who backed McCain early in the primaries, is rumored to be ready to resign after the latest juicy allegations surfaced...

1) Troy "ask[ed] the Legislature to amend the state's anti-obscenity law after a Jefferson County judge ruled this month that part of the law was too vague to force closure of a Hoover store that sells sexual devices."

2) He all but called the Supreme Court terrorists when they dared to overturn the law allowing for the death penalty for child rape. Troy said

"Anybody in this country who cares about children should be outraged ... They are creating a situation where this country is a less safe place to grow up."

Is Alabama Attorney General Troy King referring to terrorists? Street gangs? Pedophiles?  No. According to King, the people endangering kids are justices on the U.S. Supreme Court who on Wednesday overturned a Louisiana law that made child rape punishable by death.

3) Then, in the last couple days...

According to rumors flying around for the last week Troy King, [the] rabidly homophobic, anti-sex toy, Sunday School teaching, pro-execution Republican Attorney General [of Alabama] is GAY! And I don't mean that as in happy either. I'd bet he is anything but happy right now. In fact, according to two sources he is about to resign. Also posted here.

Two Alabama bloggers emailed me asking if I had heard the rumor that King Troy's wife caught him in bed with a MAN and kicked him out of the house around the time of the Special Session. Could I confirm it?

4) The male aide, it is believed, is actually his college roommate, who he helped get a job with the state and/or on his staff so they could be closer together. As one source put it: "When Troy's out of town... the [old roommate] goes with." Another version says he's a homecoming king... as in, a recent graduate...

The story then became that the mystery man was a young man who had just graduated from Troy University and was the Homecoming King (no pun intended) (God that gets confusing...Troy King with the homecoming king who graduated from Troy) and that was who the wife walked in on. Then a few weeks later Troy and his boy toy from Troy were spotted at the YMCA (not kidding) engaging in....ummmm....inappropriate activities. Yeah...at the YMCA...made famous by the Village People. Apparently Troy has no inkling of what it means to be 'discreet'.

The YMCA story smells of total elephant shit, although the rest of this (that is-- that Troy was caught in bed with a man by his own wife, then booted from the premises) has been backed up by a variety of sources. However, just to further confuse you, one source claims that the leak on this story came from the Governor's office...

We shall see...
