Politicians - CA State Senator Roy Ashburn
This is an interesting dilemma.
I respect elected officials that vote to support the desires of their constituents.
I DO NOT respect those that misrepresent themselves in order to get elected.
And that's what solves this dilemma for me...

Demian Bulwa writes for the San Francisco Chronicle:
"Organizing a rally at Bakersfield's Patriots Park, Roy Ashburn stood with evangelical leaders to condemn same-sex marriage as gay-rights advocates shouted him down.
'Marriage between one man and one woman is fundamental to civilization,' Ashburn said that day.
Now, after a drunken driving arrest near a gay bar in Sacramento forced Ashburn to reveal that he is homosexual, people in his district - including some who were at Patriots Park that day - are wrestling with what to make of him and his long public career."
