MONTGOMERY State Rep. Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, had a warning for her Statehouse colleagues over the weekend.
I will not stand by and allow legislators to talk about family values when they have affairs, and I know of many who are and have, Todd, the states only openly gay lawmaker, said on Facebook over the weekend. I will call our elected officials who want to hide in the closet out.
Todd was responding to comments from her fellow lawmakers after Fridays decision by a federal judge to overturn the states ban on same-sex marriages.
It is pretty well known that we have people in Montgomery who are or have had affairs
Todd told the TimesDaily this morning. I just want them to be careful what theyre saying, some of it might come back to stick on them.

(16,843 posts)We're sick of all the homophobic bullshit from all these hypocrites here in the South. We all know people whose private lives and public personas don't match, and they'd better watch what they say and do regarding marriage equality. They're messing around with people's lives here, and they shouldn't be surprised if some of us start pushing back.
