If Ryan Loskarn Were A Straight Republican Caught With Kiddie Porn, It Would Be A Much Bigger Story

Below via the Daily Caller. Also via DC, more here: Ryan Loskarn’s online handle reveals darker warning signs, pre-teen wrestling, other X-rated raunch For a couple of reasons, I think this story would be seeing much more coverage – and sensationalist, at that – outside the Beltway if Loskarn were straight.

Sen. Lamar Alexander‘s R-Tenn. now ex-Chief of staff Ryan Loskarn led a pretty typical life for a 35-year-old gay GOP aide in Washington. He attended happy hours. For a good while he had a boyfriend. Sources tell The Mirror he was even going to be in the wedding party of NRSC Spokesman Brad Dayspring who did not offer a comment as to whether Loskarn would still be part of the wedding party. Dayspring is engaged to Jake Tapper‘s CNN publicist Lauren Pratapas.

That Loskarn was a prominent Republican staffer and apparently all but openly gay flies in the face of the media narrative that depicts the GOP as homophobic and intolerant. Furthermore, that he was a gay male who evidently enjoyed kiddie porn really has the media stymied. That narrative feeds into the worst stereotypes – and fears – involving homosexuality at a time when gay marriage is item one on the Left’s and the media’s agenda.

If Ryan Loskarn were a prominent Hill Republican tied so closely to many other prominent Republicans, including a Senator, and he were a straight male caught with child pornography, this would be making much bigger news outside the Beltway than seems to be the case.
