Anit-gay, Gay Legislator Bob Allen says "blacks" made him do it

Essentially, Allen says that there were a "large number of blacks" in the park in which he was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover officer, and that's what made him do it. Yeah, I don't get it either.

If you haven't read the prior posts about Allen, he is a legislator from Florida who has a history of supporting anti-gay legislation, and recently got busted soliciting sex from a male undercover officer. Read about his latest pathetic claims of innocence here.

Allen's arrest marks yet another in a string of revelations in which anti-gay politicians and public figures turn out themselves to be gay. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

For the record, I think it's crazy that two consenting adults can't legally engage in a sex-for-money arrangement. Where is the constitutional basis for such laws? Marrying someone for money is not illegal, and, I would argue, is generally encouraged by society. I subscribe to the libertarian view that, with several important exceptions, nothing should be illegal unless it deprives another person of life, liberty, or property. Too bad Libertarians are usually such jerks or I might sign up.
