Your Asshat of the Week: Senators Sessions and Vitter

Our asshat nominees this time out included yet another out gay director who advises gay actors to stay in the closet (what, is this an epidemic or something?), a gay panic inspired flash game, a non-profit that's exporting American-style intolerance to a very receptive Romania, and two Republican lawmakers. Here are the voting results for this week's poll.

Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and David Vitter (R-LS) won in a landslide for their efforts last week to derail the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act by attaching an impossible to pass pro-concealed gun amendment to it. What clever asshats!

We'll be back with a new selection of Asshat Smackdown nominees in Friday's Best Gay Week Ever column. Feel like nominating anyone? Please share in the comments!
