Same Sex Sunday — With Now-Out CA GOP Sen. Roy Ashburn
Each Sunday, Joe Mirabella and Phil Reese of The Bilerico Project co-host the Same Sex Sunday podcast, for which I am one of the regulars on the roundtable. The show can be found and subscribed to on iTunes, which I encourage everyone to do, but I wanted to make sure to highlight this week’s show, where Michael Crawford, Joe, Phil and I are joined by Get Equal’s Heather Cronk, Servicemembers United’s Jarrod Chlapowski … and the now-out California state Sen. Roy Ashburn (R).
Ashburn tells the roundtable, with striking honesty, that the California Highway Patrol did more to change his voting on LGBT issues than anything else. He also defends the Log Cabin Republicans’ hosting of Sen. John Cornyn (R) at an event during its national dinner — a point with which several of us on the panel (myself included) take issue.
Trust me, it’s worth checking out.
