This is either hilarious or pathetic. Or some combination of both.
The short version: a California state senator notorious for his activism against gay marriage has recently come out of the closet.
How does this happen? What kind of mind supresses its own sexuality in the quest for political power?
Well, I've got a theory. This theory explains why men in the highest echelons of power get caught so often in some kind of sexually damning scenario.
Some politicans aren't heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual. They're mysexual.
Meaning they love themselves above all else.
While I'm not old enough, experienced enough, or cynical enough to apply this theory to every politician, only the most idealistic (or idiotic) would deny that the overwhelming majority of politicians have horrendously inflated egos. Their life goal is power and attention, and in that pursuit they will sacrifice whatever it takes.
There are, of course, degrees. Not every politician is mysexual, because not every politician has let their ego seep that pervasively into their psyche.
But, for the worst of these fellows, sex is merely a physical impulse that has to be taken care of quickly so they can get back to big, important, attention-getting things.
Which explains why so many of them are caught and exposed, and explains why the circumstances in which their dalliances occured are so head-scratchingly hastily thrown together.
Sure, some of them are gay, some of them are straight. Sexuality is as much a physical trait as intelligence or strength. But their psyche is so overwhelmed by their ego that that it gets buried.
