Rep. Zach Wyatt, a Missouri Republican, comes out as gay and speaks out against “Don’t Say Gay” bill

It is clearly very tricky to be gay and to be a Republican elected official.

Missouri state representative Zach Wyatt is not running for reelection and decided to come out this week and to speak out against the state’s proposed ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation.

‘I’m not the first or the last Republican to come out,’ Wyatt said. ‘I’ve just gotten tired of the bigotry being shown from both sides of the aisle on gay issues. Being gay has never been a Republican or Democratic issue and it should never be.’
