An Open Letter to Republican Politicians, Re: Your Sex Life

Dear Repub­li­can Politicians,

Since it seems that each and every one of you have a secret gay sex life, don’t you think it might be time to come out of the closet? I mean, I don’t care if you want to stay in the closet, I really don’t, though I find your hyp­o­crit­i­cal voting records trou­bling, but think of what a life as an openly gay politi­cian would mean. No more hiding out in public restrooms, no more embar­rass­ing press con­fer­ences, no more sneak­ing around trying to think of people to blame for your arrests.

The thing about all of this is that even­tu­ally, every­one will find out what you’re up to (I’m look­ing at you, Mitch McConnell and Lind­sey Graham) because you keep having sex with people! Those people aren’t going to watch you vote against gay rights year after year with­out speak­ing up. So why not just come out and defuse the whole sit­u­a­tion? You know, stay ahead of the situation.

And just imag­ine what a relief it will be when you can stop this whole self-​loathing thing! You can stop sup­port­ing those beards you’ve been paying for, you can meet some­body who shares your inter­ests in low­er­ing the cap­i­tal gains tax and flower arrang­ing, and best of all you can listen to a much better class of dance music! I mean, aren’t you tired of pre­tend­ing you like line danc­ing when you could be at one of DC’s many gay clubs? I’m sure the selec­tion in Idaho is lim­ited, but after a long day on the senate floor dis­en­fran­chis­ing minori­ties and restrict­ing civil lib­er­ties, you can take your pick of clubs to do some pop­pers and mingle with cute guys hungry for a sugar daddy.

Just promise me you’ll think it over.

Your constituent,

Jemal Cole
