Ray Ashburn says "I Am Gay" - US Anti-gay Senator Comes Out

US senator RAY ASHBURN has come out. In a radio interview Ashburn who has voted time and again against gay rights said "I am gay... those are words that have been so difficult for me for so long".

Speaking on KERN Radio Mr Ashburn said that he had voted so many times against gay rights bills because that was what his voters would want him to do rather than it being based on his own "internal conflict"

Last week Asburn was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. At the time it was rumoured and reported on NowPublic that he had just left a gay club in the company of another man.

Ashburn has said that he will not run for any further public office when his term ends later this year.
