"This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park," Allen, who is white, told police in a taped statement after his arrest. Allen said he feared he "was about to be a statistic" and would have said anything just to get away.Mr. Allen, who has been a staunch supporter of anti-gay legislation in the Florida Senate, was arrested in July for solicitation.
I'm not sure which is worse; the blatant hypocrisy of yet another outspoken gay basher getting busted for doing what he's campaigned against, or thinking that he can get away with it by using racism as his defense. Both are pretty disgusting.
PS: Josh Marshall's headline is worth a chuckle.
