This time it is Washington State Representative Richard Curtis....apparently he picked up a guy in an adult video store, and offered the guy $1,000 bucks for bareback sex. The kid took his wallet as proof. OMG, so funny (except the bareback sex part)
...this one is a TWISTED story! Everyone ends up a loser in this one!

EDIT: and from some digging I've done...rumor has it that the kid who the politician had the unprotected sex with was HIV +

SW Wash. GOP lawmaker resigns seat amid sex scandal

10/31/2007

By RACHEL LA CORTE / Associated Press

A Republican state legislator who repeatedly voted against gay rights measures resigned his seat Wednesday amid revelations he had sex with a man he met at an erotic video store while in Spokane on a GOP retreat.

In a written statement, Rep. Richard Curtis, of La Center, said that while he believes he's done a lot of good during his time in the Legislature, "events that have recently come to light have hurt a lot of people."

"I sincerely apologize for any pain my actions may have caused," he wrote. "This has been damaging to my family, and I don't want to subject them to any additional pain that might result from carrying out this matter under the scrutiny that comes with holding public office."

Three days earlier, Curtis had insisted to his local newspaper that he was not gay and that sex was not involved in what he said was an extortion attempt by a man last week.

But in police reports, Curtis said he was being extorted by a man he had sex with in a Spokane hotel room. The other man contends Curtis reneged on a promise to pay $1,000 for sex.

House Minority Leader Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, said that as more "troubling" details began to emerge "it has become clear that he can no longer effectively represent the constituents who elected him."

His resignation was delivered to Gov. Chris Gregoire on Wednesday afternoon. A Republican successor will be chosen by county Republican leaders, and will serve until the 2008 election.

Numerous efforts to reach Curtis or his lawyer, John Wolfe, by phone have been unsuccessful.

Curtis, 48, told police he was the victim of an extortion attempt by Cody Castagna at the posh Davenport Tower hotel on Oct. 26, search warrant documents said. Castagna, 26, of nearby Medical Lake, told police that Curtis had agreed to pay him for sex, then reneged.

Curtis is married and has children, according to his legislative Web site. Elected to the state House of Representatives in 2004, he voted in 2005 and 2006 against a bill that granted civil rights protections to gays and lesbians, and in 2007 voted against a bill that created domestic partnerships for same-sex couples. Both measures eventually passed the Democratic-controlled state Legislature and are now state law.

Curtis was among state GOP lawmakers in Spokane Oct. 24-26 for a retreat to discuss the upcoming legislative session. He went to the Hollywood Erotic Boutique early on Oct. 26 and met Castagna, who accompanied him to the hotel, police documents said.

The two arrived at the hotel around 3:30 a.m. and had sex, after which Curtis fell asleep, according to documents released Tuesday.

Curtis alleged Castagna took his wallet and later offered to return it for $1,000. Curtis said he only had $200 and left an envelope with the money at the hotel desk, the documents said.

Police reports said Castagna allegedly called Curtis and demanded an additional $800, and threatened to expose Curtis. But Curtis had already contacted police, who listened to the call and then met with Castagna.

There have been no arrests in the case. On Wednesday, Spokane County Deputy Prosecutor Larry Steinmetz said a decision about possible criminal charges in the alleged extortion case was weeks away.

Castagna, who appeared Tuesday at a Spokane news conference with his lawyer, David Partovi, said Curtis gave him his wallet to hold as collateral "for the money that he promised me." Partovi refused to let his client tell reporters what he did for the money, noting Castagna had already spoken voluntarily with police.

"Cody Castagna admitted threatening to publicly expose Richard Curtis' gay lifestyle to his wife unless Richard Curtis provided the disputed money," the police documents said.

Partovi refused to let Castagna respond to a question about whether he threatened to "out" Curtis.

The lawyer noted extortion "is a violent Class B felony" and declared that his client "didn't do anything wrong, at that level anyway."

On Monday, Curtis told The Columbian newspaper of Vancouver, Wash., that he did not solicit sex.

"I committed no crime," he said. "I did not solicit sex. I was trying to help somebody out."

Curtis, a former firefighter, declared, "I am not gay."

In his initial statement to Spokane police on Oct. 26, Curtis admitted having sex with Castagna, but said he did not offer to pay for sex. He said he gave him $100 as gas money, but said he did not consider that paying for sex, according to the police reports.

Police reports said Curtis initially contacted a friend in the Washington State Patrol, in Western Washington, to investigate the case because he feared the Spokane authorities would talk to the media. But patrol officials referred the case to Spokane police.

The police reports added that Curtis told officers he only wanted his wallet back "and wanted to keep the incident as low key as possible." He did not want to pursue charges against Castagna, the report said.

The next day, police reports said, Curtis told a detective by phone that he was in Cle Elum because he had wrecked his car on the drive home.

Curtis also told the detective he "would have to tell his wife the truth and he would have to get a divorce attorney."

ridiculous

and this is most likely a common occurrence

[theIncredibleEdi...]

I am not sure if this is the same one, but Larry Flint was talking about ANOTHER ONE coming up soon....

[Oasis]

So this is what, the second or third guy out of the entire republican party that has come out of the closet? Wasn't aware such a small sample size was an accurate representation of the entire party

[Spectatrix]

It's the third. But it's the third in four months, that's why it's so hilarious. And of course prior to this there were things like the Foley scandal.

[theIncredibleEdi...]

It's the third. But it's the third in four months, that's why it's so hilarious. And of course prior to this there were things like the Foley scandal.

EXACTLY...its the frequency thats funny. You would think these guys would go into hiding when this happens, but it's like they get some kinda rush out of doing it when the spotlight is on.

[Mommy]

I dont really think its funny. Id go on, but Im sure I would make someone mad so Ill just leave it at that

[Spectatrix]

Well... the funny part is how they scramble and try to deny their homosexual tendencies so vehemently.

But it is truly sad that these men are so hypocritical, with highly conservative voting records, usually consistently voting against improving gay rights.

[woody]

just cause someone is gay doesn't mean they have to vote for gay rights.

aren't you suppose to represent your constituents and not yourself?

[theIncredibleEdi...]

I dont really think its funny. Id go on, but Im sure I would make someone mad so Ill just leave it at that

No girl, go on...say what ya wanna say.

This is the internet, don't give a shit if people get mad!

[theIncredibleEdi...]

just cause someone is gay doesn't mean they have to vote for gay rights.

aren't you suppose to represent your constituents and not yourself?

But these guys dont IDENTIFY as gay...they vehemently deny being gay, but yet are having gay sex and then voting on legislation that limits the rights of gays. Thats being VERY hypocritical, even if you're voting for the people you supposedly represent. I mean, come on....how many of these guys aren't voting with some degree of personal bias? Probably very many of them are voting out of self-hatred rather than to represent their area.

[woody]

so someone denying that they're gay is something negative?

and if we accept prima facia that people vote on a personal bias instead of on behalf of their constituents, then we accept corruption

[theIncredibleEdi...]

so someone denying that they're gay is something negative?

Yes, it's negative when they're having gay sex..these guys won't even cop to being bisexual.

The thing is that true heterosexual people aren't as vehement about being straight as these closeted guys. Don't tell me you're straight when you've got a big dick in your ass; just like dont tell me its raining when im watching you pee on my leg.

[woody]

why does it matter if it's their personal life.

[theIncredibleEdi...]

why does it matter if it's their personal life.

Then they shouldnt be PUBLIC SERVANTS.

[Testm0nkey]

{PICTURE WAS REMOVED SO I DONT FACE ANY DEFAMATION LAW SUITS!}

so this guy likes unprotected anal sex?
this kind of information would be hot if it ever came out about attractive people

[theIncredibleEdi...]

LOL, no thats not him....

He's on the left, the guy he solicited is on the right

[woody]

Then they shouldnt be PUBLIC SERVANTS.

so you're saying as a public servant you have to give the dirt on your personal life? (Straight, Gay, Bi, into Orgies, if you like giving your wife anal sex, favorite sex positions, S&M, role play, etc.)

[Testm0nkey]

no but if you like to solicit prostitutes and are morally repugnant then yes you shouldnt be a civil servant

[theIncredibleEdi...]

so you're saying as a public servant you have to give the dirt on your personal life? (Straight, Gay, Bi, into Orgies, if you like giving your wife anal sex, favorite sex positions, S&M, role play, etc.)

Nope, im saying that as a public servant if youre going to OPENLY HATE upon a group of people, then you sure as hell better not be dabbling in that group's activities.

EDIT: Dont tell me that I am immoral and don't deserve certain rights when you yourself are partaking in such "immoral activities" because you get your rights with your fake marriage. Where's the justice there, when I am being an open and honest person and have to suffer and you are being secretive and dishonest but you get to reap the rewards. (not you personally, but these politicians)

It's just like those men in the days of blacks being repressed when they were voting for legislation that would segregate, but they were having sex with black women secretly.

[woody]

i don't knwo much about this guy, but how did he openly hate a group of people (assuming gays)

[theIncredibleEdi...]

i don't knwo much about this guy, but how did he openly hate a group of people (assuming gays)

His voting record...just like Larry Craig and the other ones who have been caught and the ones who haven't yet.

[woody]

so voting against X is hate?

[theIncredibleEdi...]

so voting against X is hate?

When that vote is intended to limit the rights of that group, yes.

Gays already cant marry...what's the point of amendments to the Constitution that would disallow it even further? To me, that action is spawned by hatred....hatred being a result of misinformation and lack of education. How many of those law-makers can give you information on gays that IS NOT based on the Bible or stereotypes and bad/old, outdated information?

[woody]

assuming that voting on personal belief/bias is OK.

sounds like the misinformation and lack of education is just that, misinformation and lack of education. but if you see it as hate, then you see it as hate.

[theIncredibleEdi...]

to each his own, i guess...

[Oasis]

Because being a faggot is embarrassing. I don't blame them

[theIncredibleEdi...]

Because being a faggot is embarrassing. I don't blame them

Yeah, he is a faggot...the rest of us are just gay.

[jonathan83]

maybe he's gay but can't say so or else he wouldn't get elected. a man's gotta have a job, and has to do what he has to do...

[RitalinJunkie]

um...point of order

I dont give no fuck if he pitches or catches......as a public servant he BROKE THE LAW BY SOLICITING SEX....regardless of who it's from.

He should be in jail for that right?

I'm pretty sure the fact that he broke laws he is supposed to uphold as a public servant should be the issue. Not that he was unfaithful to his wife, or that he likes to take the cock. Those are his own business.

HOWEVER, now that that is out of my system, I do agree that it is hypocritical to be a gay man who votes against gay rights legistlation, and while, yes, you do vote to protect your constituants interests, part of being a politician is to press your personal ideas and beliefs, i mean....why else would you become a politician if you did not want to change the world to help it be a better place (and if your gay, you most likely think gay tolerance is an improvement).

maybe I'm just talkin out of my ass or way overly idealistic....but seriously...

[Billy]

Maybe he votes against gay marriage so there are more gay guys at the gay clubs for him to pick from.

[Divergent Realit...]

Maybe he votes against gay marriage so there are more gay guys at the gay clubs for him to pick from.

i think this is the answer.

[GOB]

gays can't vote

[theIncredibleEdi...]

maybe he's gay but can't say so or else he wouldn't get elected. a man's gotta have a job, and has to do what he has to do...

there are a few openly gay elected officials....and *gasp* theyre in red states

[pebkac]

maybe he's gay but can't say so or else he wouldn't get elected. a man's gotta have a job, and has to do what he has to do...

Blacks didn't have to pretend to be white to get into politics. (well, except Barrack Obama)

[Oasis]

there are a few openly gay elected officials....and *gasp* theyre in red states

Local or state reps? I can understand a gay guy winning a spot on the city council in Austin (a primarily liberal city), TX (a primarily conservative state). But something like a senator in a red state?

What reps are you talking about?

[THECHICKEN]

When that vote is intended to limit the rights of that group, yes.

Gays already cant marry...what's the point of amendments to the Constitution that would disallow it even further? To me, that action is spawned by hatred....hatred being a result of misinformation and lack of education. How many of those law-makers can give you information on gays that IS NOT based on the Bible or stereotypes and bad/old, outdated information?

I disagree with this statement.

Think gays should marry, but don't think voting against the status quo equals hate. Hypocritical, sure, but voting for the status quo isn't by default hate in my mind (i think misinformed/false beliefs are completely different than hate voting)

[Mommy]

gay people smell funny....like anal lube

[woody]

how to you know what anal lube smells like?

[Spectatrix]

Isn't anal lube just like any other lube?

[Mommy]

how to you know what anal lube smells like?

because I have smelled a gay person

/circular logic

[woody]

when did you smell a gay person's anus?

[theIncredibleEdi...]

gay people smell funny....like anal lube

Is that different from regular lube? Am I missing something?

[theIncredibleEdi...]

Here is a link....this site gives all openly gay elected officials. This organization/site helps donate money to people who are openly gay and want to run for an office.

Figures, most of them are school board members or other small time jobs. Very few are state reps or judges or anything important.

Every single female I saw on there looks like a raging bulldyke.

I dunno, there are some senators in there, including Nicole LaFavor (spelling) from Idaho (say hello to Larry Craig for me!)....and florida had quite a few judges.

[chook]

Yeah, he is a faggot...the rest of us are just gay.

"But I just want to Cuddle"
