Dennis Hastert spent years fighting LGBTQ+ rights in the name of “protecting children.” Meanwhile, he was hiding his own history of sexual abuse. The danger was never queer people. It was powerful men hiding behind “family values.”
qburgh.comDennis Hastert, the ‘Family Values’ Speaker Who Molested Boys, Dies at 84I have to admit, I had forgotten about Dennis Hastert. In fact, if you’d told me he’d already been dead for years, I would have accepted that without question. Or mourning. The former Republican speaker of the House died Oct. 3 at his home in Plano, Illinois. He was 84. What can I say? It’s really hard to keep track of the many elected officials who turn out to be total creeps.
