LOS ANGELES .- Sen. Roy Ashburn , who excelled in the upper house of California as a strong opponent of gay rights, he admitted his homosexuality. "I'm gay. Those are the words that I have been very difficult to say for a long time," he said in an interview to a radio station in Los Angeles.

The legislature 55 years, divorced and father of four children, announced their sexual a week after being arrested while leaving a bar frequented by gays, in the city of Sacramento, where he claimed he had spent the night, reported Elpais.es

During the radio interview, the senator said he had decided to recognize his homosexuality because the people who elected him deserve an explanation. "I always thought I could separate my personal life from my public life. But with my own actions have done otherwise," he said.
