And in PA, Conservative State Representative Daryl Metcalfe came out as a heterosexual

"Mr. Metcalfe's comments, captured on video, came after the committee's ranking Democrat, state Rep. Matt Bradford of Montgomery County, was trying to make a point about a bill having to do with land use and, for a split second, laid his hand on Mr. Metcalfe's left forearm. The two were seated side by side at a conference table.

'Representative Bradford,' said Mr. Metcalfe, interrupting Mr. Bradford in mid-sentence. 'Look, I’m a heterosexual. I have a wife, I love my wife. I don’t like men, as you might. But stop touching me all the time.'

He then added: 'It’s like keep your hands to yourself. Like, if you want to touch somebody, you have people on your side of the aisle that might like it. I don’t.'"

there's "somebody" sitting around waiting for this month's "silence check" to arrive, just like the former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.....................
