    With Windom it was hire a prostitute to smear him. With Moore it was wait until he could not be taken off the ballot and then come out with salacious claims to which there is no way to defend, now Kay Ivy and claims about her sex life, having to bring her sex life into the campaign. How despicable.

    Gay Alabama lawmaker suggests governor is lesbian; Ivey calls it 'disgusting lie'

    Gov. Kay Ivey.

    Patricia Todd, Alabama's only openly gay state legislator, posted comments on social media Tuesday night suggesting that Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey is gay.

    Todd, who is not seeking re-election to office this year, posted the comments on Facebookand Twitter.

    The Ivey campaign denied the accusation.

    "This is a disgusting lie being pushed by a paid liberal political hack," said Debbee Hancock, Ivey campaign spokeswoman. "There is absolutely no truth to it."..........

    On May 1, Todd was named executive director of One Orlando Alliance-- a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of LGBTQ individuals and was formed in response to the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. Todd is scheduled to begin that job on June 1.

    AL.com attempted to reach Todd via phone and at her Birmingham home on Tuesday night but she was not available.

    Nothing to even support the claim. From the party of the KKK and segregation to this, how lovely.

    You are aware I presume that the current RED Republican South was, until the passage of the Civil Rights legislation by LBJ,the SOLID SOUTH of the once KKK Democratic party.Since then the party's did a !80 reversal the Republicans became the stronghold of the KKK and the neo Nazi's and the Democrat party became the party of diversity and Civil Rights!

    I love how you paint Roy Moore as a victim. A guy who thought it was OK to break the law by feeling up an underage girl. Ya gotta love Republicans, as long as the child molester is a GOper then he's a victim.

    I don't pity homophobes getting their own prejudices turned against them. This extends to people who say "I'm not homophobic I just don't agree with their lifestyle", I'm going to be laughing every time people make it clear your views aren't welcome.

    I point to the voters of Alabama as the victim for the Democrats successful attempt to undermine the election as they have a history in this state.

    And now this sleazy crap.

    Roy Moore is just like Lyin Ryan a parasite that has lived off taxpayers all of his adult life.

    I predicted this as soon as they pulled it on Moore. They will triple down.

    You probably should have made an appearance and voted for Roy Moore instead of sitting at home.

    I am more inclined to make note of the fact that Ivey considers the allegation that she is secretly gay to be a "disgusting lie." In a world that is post Obergefell and post Pulse night club, one would think it more prudent of a politician to refrain from saying that being labeled gay is disgusting.

    The GOP put up a child molester as a candidate. The only victims here were the girls & women he preyed on. For those of us who have long wondered how low GOPers would sink Alabama gave us an answer - even child molesters are OK as long as they talk about God a lot and hate all the right people.

    To be fair, enough GOP voters found their moral centre to deny Moore a Senate spot that a department store dummy running for the GOP would probably have won. So kudos to those people. I would say shame on those who continue to defend him, but clearly they are incapable of shame.

    Most of the people who are 'disgusted' by this were only upset by the Pulse shooting because it was a Muslim. Had it been a Christian they would have fudged & talked about the 'wages of sin' or blamed gay people for not liking guns.

    Claiming a person has done something they have not is wrong, but claiming someone is gay when they are not is only going to have an impact if that person relies on the votes of people who will not vote for someone they think might be gay. You'll have to forgive me if I have limited sympathy for someone who relies on a voter base that bigoted. Its like getting upset because someone claims you and African-American who is 'passing'. Maybe if the GOP wasn't so determined to demonized homosexuals this wouldn't matter.

    Yes, but look on the bright side - maybe they'd vote for someone because that someone is gay? [​IMG] Swings and roundabouts, Squire, swings and roundabouts!

    Good for her then. Personally I can't get too upset about claiming someone has done something that is perfectly OK. If someone claimed she was vegan or liked death metal I wouldn't care that much either beyond my dislike of telling untruths about people.

    Well she's female. Yet to meet a male one. Other than that I can't help you. I've met more gay people than I could count over the past 40 years and I'm yet to find a 'look' that fits any category especially well.

    And a total misrepesentation of the facts but typical. The GOP did NOT put up a child molester. They put up a controversial former judge who I once again did not vote for. He was ALLEGED to have engaged in inappropriate behavior 30 years ago but those allegations were withheld until AFTER the primary and AFTER the date the state GOP could have had him removed from the ballot which it would have done. The reason the allegations were withheld was so the Dems could try to take the seat based on unproven allegations instead of on the issues. Not the first time they have done so in this state and now they are attacking Kay Ivy with similar allegations and attempts to smear.

    There was nothing fair about what the Dems did but as said, typical. And he was only defended on the fact these are still unproven allegations for which a person subjected to them has no way to defend themselves and then the HIGHLY questionable timing if them. As noted previous Democrats in this state paid a prostitute to lie about a previous GOP candidate to try and smear him.

    Now this cheap attempt to create some kind of personal scandal with Kay Ivy.

    You don't think it disgusting when someone makes fallacious public claims about another persons private sexual life inorder to achieve some personal or political gain?
