Most of us care not about someones sexual preferences-- It is the hypocricy involved, the denial of his true nature,the implicit power play by showing a senatorial ID card, the stupidity signing a guilty plea.

Most of all the fact that his public persona is that gays should not have equal rights under the law. He endorses that with the power of his vote.

Now that we've heard him deny his inentions-we realize he's not too bright either. What fastidious looking man picks up a piece of toilet tissue from the floor of a public toilet? (with his palm up) He can't even cover his ass with a good story.
