Ex-RNC Chair Reveals He’s Gay
-----------------------------



Former Republican National Committee chair and George W. Bush campaign
manager Ken Mehlman has publicly revealed that he’s gay. Mehlman
spearheaded Bush’s 2004 reelection. He went on to head the Republican
Party between 2005 and 2007 as it pushed several anti-gay initiatives.
In an interview with The Atlantic magazine, Mehlman said he decided to
come out of the closet in part to help campaign for gay marriage.
