GOP Legislator Who Crusaded Against College Sex Ed Classes Owns Company That Sells Kinky Sex Gadgets
In the winter of 2009, Georgia state legislator Rep. Calvin Hill (R-Canton) led a high-profile campaign against the teaching of public university courses that dealt with sexual health and related topics. Hill was joined by a small cadre of other conservatives who sought to end the teaching of courses dealing with topics such as male prostitution and gay history, and some of his acolytes even called for firing professors who taught these courses. Hill even appeared on CNN and boasted about an award he received for leading the battle to shut down courses dealing with sexuality. “Our public colleges are not the place for our young adults and future leaders to experiment and experience these types of sexually explicit behavior,” Hill said at the time.

Now, the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Jim Galloway reports that, while Hill may think that sex is too hot of a topic for the young adult students at public colleges in the state to handle, he’s perfectly fine making a buck off it. Galloway writes that Hill’s Democratic opponent, Stephanie Webb, has discovered that the company Hill serves as CFO of, Gila Distributing, sells numerous sex gadgets and gay pride paraphernalia through the company. These products include “stress relievers” in the shape of male sex organs and Gay Pride flag lapel pins:

Stephanie Webb is Hill’s Democratic opponent. One night, her husband/campaign manager was perusing the Gila Distributing web site and discovered more than antlers for sale:

"With 600,000 products, there is always a possibility that something slips through .... " Rep. Calvin Hill


“Do you know that your tax dollars are being used at our state universities to pay professors to teach your children classes like
'Male Prostitution' and 'Queer Theory'? Yes, even in tight economic times like we are facing today, our Board of Regents is wasting
your tax dollars to teach these totally unnecessary and ridiculous classes.”

5. The GA state legislature are pretty much the scum of the Earth.

Our local candidates for state house and senate are running on "bringing an immigration law similar to Arizona's to Georgia", creationism in the classroom, etc.

The only politicians loonier than the ones running for state legislature are the ones running for the school boards, lol.
