Republican California State Senator Roy Ashburn was arrested for driving drunk on Wednesday—and now sources tell local news that he was on his way home from a gay club. Ashburn, of course, has a history of opposing gay rights. The father of four was said to be visiting Faces, which calls itself “Sacramento’s premier GLBTI Nightclub since 1985.” "I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgment," Ashburn said in a statement about the DUI. "I accept complete responsibility for my conduct and am prepared to accept the consequences for what I did."
