G.O.P. Consultant Weds His Male Partner By Adam Nagourney

WASHINGTON, April 8 - Arthur J. Finkelstein, a prominent Republican consultant who has directed a series of hard-edged political campaigns to elect conservatives in the United States and Israel over the last 25 years, said Friday that he had married his male partner in a civil ceremony at his home in Massachusetts.

Mr. Finkelstein, 59, who has made a practice of defeating Democrats by trying to demonize them as liberal, said in a brief interview that he had married his partner of 40 years to ensure that the couple had the same benefits available to married heterosexual couples. ...

... Mr. Finkelstein has been allied over the years with Republicans who have fiercely opposed gay rights measures, including former Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, and has been the subject of attacks by gay rights activists who have accused him of hypocrisy. He was identified as gay in a Boston Magazine article in 1996. ...

Yet again we are our own worst enemy. This jerk-off (and I don't mean that in a good way) paid for his wedding on the backs of other gay and lesbian individuals that he has made a living repressing. But you know what they say, "Karma's a BITCH" I'm sure he'll get his.
