Chief Financial Officer of Republican National Committee admits he’s gay, stays quiet

By John Byrne | Raw Story Editor

Jay Banning, the Chief Financial Officer and Director of Administration for the Republican National Committee since Ronald Reagan’s presidency in 1983 acknowledged that he was gay during a telephone conversation Saturday.

Banning was first suggested to be gay by activist Mike Rogers, whose outing campaign has already targeted two gay congressmen who have voted against measures allowing gay couples to marry and adopt children.

Banning, as CFO and Director of Administration for the GOP, is responsible for all accounting systems, the administration of party headquarters, GOP security, personnel, information services, graphic services and executive secretariat services.

Asked if he was out at work, Banning said, “uh, we don’t discuss it.” He added that he didn’t feel that he was at risk of being fired for being gay. “I don’t believe so,” he said.

1. I believe in aggressive outing of ALL.......................

these hypocritical f---ers in the Christofascist Party. Anybody who posts explicit photos of them engaging in "acts" has my blessings, too. Time to take the gloves off.

2. Gay pubes coming out of closet in droves...Shrock, Drier, now Banning.

I only believe in outing gay hypocrites, not any different than outing the straight philandering adulterers in the Republican Party like Barr, Hyde, Livingstone, Burton, DeLay, Gingrich, and Dole who got outed after their very noisy throwing of stones at Bill Clinton.

3. Hell.. not just the gay ones.

I think we should dig-up EVERYTHING in the skeleton closet. Past drug use, spousal/partner abuse, child abuse, criminal convictions.. I'm willing to go nuclear when the country's existence is on the line.
