A gay Alabama lawmaker has threatened to expose her colleague’s affairs.
After a federal judge ruled the ban on same-sex marriages unconstitutional in the state of Alabama, many politicians have taken to social media to express their feelings.
Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard expressed his concern over the ruling on Facebook?and has received many comments on his post.
Now, Patricia Todd, Alabama’s first openly gay legislator, has threatened to expose affairs of her Republican colleagues due to their opposition of same-sex marriage.
This weekend, Todd took to Facebook to express her frustration with other politicians who have stated that they will fight the recent ruling on same-sex marriage.
“This (is) a time where you find out who are accepting, loving people. To say I am disappointed in Speaker Hubbard comment’s and Attorney General Strange choice to appeal the decision is an understatement. 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. I will call our elected officials who want to hide in the closet OUT.”
At least for now, Todd hasn’t named who she was referring to in her Facebook post regarding affairs.
Mike Hubbard issued a statement to AL.com in response to Todd’s Facebook post.
“I consider Rep. Todd a friend, and we have always enjoyed a good and cordial relationship, so I am sorry that she is upset about my remarks,” Hubbard stated. “We do have a fundamental disagreement on allowing same sex marriages in Alabama, and I will continue to voice my opinion on this important social issue, just as I expect she will continue to voice hers, but we can disagree without being disagreeable.”
