--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector-Hustler expose of Rep. David Dreier: "Gay and Ashamed" http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2115 Submitted by: Anonymous " December 9, 2004 After a quarter century gliding through the raindrops, it’s time for the influential Republican lawmaker to come clean about his homosexuality and the lethal hypocrisy he’s employed in pursuit of power. MICHAEL COLLINS and MARK CROMER hold up the mirror to Dreier’s face. What a beard! Dreier with Bo Derek Nineteen-eighty, the year Ronald Reagan’s long road to the White House ended in triumph, marked the cordite-fumed return of the Radical Right—and dovetailed nicely in every reactionary’s mind with the murder of John Lennon. That same year the press began covering an ominous outbreak: Gay men were being stricken with rare cancers as the first wave of what would later be dubbed AIDS hit the nation. While hardly a headline-grabber, the opening of the decade also saw the election of a fresh-faced, smooth-talking 28-year-old Republican legislator named David Timothy Dreier. Like his beloved Gipper, Dreier called Southern California home, and he too exuded his party's new suntanned image. Indeed, Dreier's was the cherubic, gum-chewing face the GOP put on to tell the Great Society: "Hi, we’re here to kill you." As the cultural war the conservatives were so eager to wage came into full bloom during the 80s, the moral flotsam of libertines, pinkos, women's-libbers and other undesirables (read faggots) were to be tied to the philosophical stake and ritually burned by the Reaganites. Dreier didn’t seem to mind holding the matches. Yet while the flames from the Republicans' Holy War danced in the night sky, few seemed to notice that Dreier often appeared one-dimensional, polished but going through the motions. Something was missing. One photographer invited into the congressman's home described the pad as "sterile, more Levitz showroom than a young bachelor's place." Where were the wife and kids that were so central to the Judeo-Christian utopia that Reagan swore was shining on the hill? Republican Wayne Grisham, an early Dreier rival, caught on and quietly encouraged local newspapers to explore the politician's sexuality, according to editors who recall the campaign. Asked recently about Dreier's homosexuality, Grisham said, "I never used it." During a 1996 interview with Low Magazine (the first publication to explore Dreier's sexuality as it related to GOP public-policy positions), Whittier Daily News editor Val Marrs remembered Grisham's efforts against Dreier in the early 1980s differently. Grisham had been agitating for Dreier to be confronted, Marrs said, so she asked Dreier point-blank if he was gay when the candidate sought the paper's endorsement. Ready for her, the young congressman answered no, retorting with stories about his girlfriend. Marrs sensed something amiss in Dreier’s reaction. "He was a little too glib," she said. "There should have been a blink, indignation, some emotion. A laugh. Something."... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
