I know of two: Hormel in 1998, and opposing DADT repeal in 2001. You say he was constantly full of venom, prove it.

Lucky for Cleland he was not gay! If he had been, Hagle would have said he was unfit to serve. Bluenorthwest Jan 2013 #10

My words are here to read. Your inference is as well. Bluenorthwest Jan 2013 #50
Okay, I don't see any anti-gay votes there, so I guess there's not much there. Honeycombe8 Jan 2013 #53

repent would mean he acted in a way to mitigate what he did dsc Jan 2013 #54
He did decline to sponsor or vote on a constitutional ban on gay marriage TwilightGardener Jan 2013 #58
