Anti-gay Puerto Rican senator blames ‘political enemies’ for naked Grindr photos
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/08/31/anti-gay-puerto-rican-senator-blames-political-enemies-for-naked-grindr-photos/

A Puerto Rican senator who allegedly posted a picture of his naked buttocks on gay iPhone app Grindr says he is the victim of political enemies.

New Progressive Party Senator Roberto Arango, who has not denied the images are of him, has opposed gay marriage, gay couples adopting and equal workplace rights.

In a resignation letter effective today, he said: “I affirm with the utmost certainty that the controversy which Puerto Rico’s Senate and the city capital is currently facing is the result of a sinister maneuver orchestrated by my political enemies.”

Apparently referring to Grindr, he added: “I’ve been a victim of my own ingenuity and of technological advances that, upon falling in the wrong hands, can be transformed into something very harmful.”

Oh yes.... the situation is due to "result of a sinister maneuver orchestrated by my political enemies".


Oh hell yes.... it has noting to do with him taking photos of his ass, so the whole world could see it.....


Christ, typical of his ilk.... it's always, always, always... the fault of someone else.... ALWAYS.....


Isn't the Republicans that prattle on about "personal responsibility"?
