GRANT STORMS SAYS HE'S SORRY



From NOLA.com.

Nearly every blogger I know scooped me on the local story of Grant Storms' shenanigans in New Orleans. I'm about burnt out with tales about men (mostly) who scream loud and long about gays and others who destroy "family values", and then get caught in compromising situations. As soon as these folks start shouting, we should watch their tracks for signs of a train wreck waiting to happen. The stories are so frequent that they are hardly newsworthy.
Though he admitted having his hands in his pants, Christian fundamentalist Grant Storms denied Tuesday that he was masturbating in a Metairie park before being arrested.

Storms addressed the allegations during a news conference in Metairie, one day after hiws arrest became public.
....

"I had my hands in my pants," he said. When asked by a reporter what he was doing with his hands, Storms answered, "I don't want to get into all that right now. That will come out in court."
....

Storms, who once called himself a "Christian patriot," gained notoriety for his fervent opposition to Southern Decadence, a three-day gay festival held in the French Quarter during Labor Day weekend. Storms and his followers used bullhorns and picket signs to protest the festival, which he has said turned the Quarter into Sodom and Gomorrah.

Storms on Tuesday apologized to those he had maligned.

So Storms apologizes. Better than not apologizing, I suppose.

He also asked forgiveness of his wife and four children, as well he should. My heart goes out to them.

And he admitted he has a problem with pornography.
