George Allen, who has a de facto affirmative action policy in his office for hiring gays, bashes gays for votes

I just watched Virginia GOP Senator George Allen on TV bashing gays in order to get votes. Allen wants to stop judges from taking away "his rights" by giving civil rights to gays. It's funny, therefore, that George Allen has had the gayest office on the Hill, and in Richmond, for years now. Gee, another "anti-gay" Republican hypocrite who says one thing about gays and does another.

Lots and lots and lots of George Allen's top Senate staff have been openly gay. Even the staff Allen hired to run the committees he's on - gay. And when George Allen was governor of Virginia, who were some of his senior staffers? Gay. I knew them.

George Allen has a de facto affirmative action policy for hiring attractive young gay men. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's more than a bit hypocritical (not to mention extremely odd) that a guy who spends so much time worrying about gays (rather than, say, Iraq?) has had such a strong penchant for hiring young gay men as his most senior staff over and over for the past decade.

I just find it a little queer.
