'If You Oppose Gay Marriage, I'll Expose Your Extra-Marital Affairs' - Alabama Lawmaker Threatens To Expose Colleagues

Alabama state Rep. Patricia Todd threatened to reveal the names of her government colleagues who oppose same-sex marriage but are actually having an affair after a court ruled that the state's ban on such union is unconstitutional, Time Magazine reported on Tuesday.

Todd, an openly gay legislator, posted on Facebook her strong sentiments that might put some of her colleagues in hot water after a federal judge on Friday ruled that the said prohibition is illegal.

"I will not stand by and allow legislators to talk about 'family values' when they have affairs, and I know of many who are and have," Todd wrote. "I will call our elected officials who want to hide in the closet out."

"One thing I'm pretty consistent on is I do not like hypocrites," the Democrat lawmaker said. "If you can explain your position and you hold yourself to the same standard you want to hold me to, then fine. But you cannot go out there and smear my community by condemning us and somehow making us feel less than, and expect me to be quiet."

Same-sex couples, however, will have to wait a bit longer for their wedding as U.S. District Court Judge Callie Granade on Sunday issued a two-week stay on her ruling. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has until Feb. 9 to decide whether to continue the delay.

Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange (R) said he would have preferred a stay until the spring or summer, when the Supreme Court is expected to decide on the legality of marriage equality nationwide, Huffington Post reported.

Alabama will be the 37th state to recognize marriage equality if Granade's ruling is upheld.
