Seems those pesky “unidentified” sources claiming anti-gay Republican State Senator Roy Ashburn was at a gay club before his DUI arrest are becoming more and more identifiable.

Openly gay West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon says Ashburn is a regular at gay nightspots throughout the city.

“To live a secret life and at the same time be attacking exactly the people who you’re one of – but that you’re too ashamed to admit – that’s the hypocrisy that I think for folks, whether you’re gay or not, is just unacceptable in politics,” Cabaldon told local CBS affiliate CBS13 on Thursday.

Last year, Cabaldon wrote on his Facebook page: “It wouldn’t bother me so bad to see Roy Ashburn at [gay bar] Badlands with a boy if he didn’t have such a bad voting record on gay rights.”

Ashburn has been freed from custody on $1,400 bond, and has taken a personal leave, according to his spokesman.
