Gay finally faces the music

This is long overdue.

From TalkingPointsMemo.com:

After now-former Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch (R) resigned her leadership post over an “innappropriate relationship,” a Minneapolis gay man — on behalf of the entire gay community — is pouring salt on the wound.

John Medeiros, who curates an LGBT reading series in Minneapolis, wrote an open letter to Koch, saying he is sorry gays and lesbians have destroyed the institution of marriage and contributing to her inevitable relationship with a subordinate staffer.

“These recent events have made it quite clear that our gay and lesbian tacts have gone too far, affecting even the most respectful of our society,” Medeiros wrote in the letter. He continues:

We apologize that our selfish requests to marry those we love has cheapened and degraded traditional marriage so much that we caused you to stray from your own holy union for something more cheap and tawdry.  And we are doubly remorseful in knowing that many will see this as a form of sexual harassment of a subordinate.

Koch stepped down as majority leader last week, and the news of her relationship quickly spread. One of her top staffers, Michael Brodkorb, left the Senate recently, too. There’s no firm evidence that the two events are related, but rumors are swirling.

It's about bloody time the Gays step up and accept their rightful blame for what they've done.

Of course. Everyone knows confession is good for the soul. Even the Gays.
