This former Alabama Attorney General railed against homosexuality, calling it “the downfall of society” in a 1992 op-ed about a college LGBT group.
“The existence of the Gay-Lesbian Alliance on this campus is an affront to the state of Alabama, its citizenry, this university and its students.” (He also tried to ban the sale of sex toys in the state.)
So it was a bit embarrassing when, in 2008, it was reported he was caught by his wife in bed with a male aide.
Newspaper accounts pointed out the staffer was initially paid $39,456 a year as an “intern” while still in college, and then bumped up to $57,504. (King’s chief of staff said the aide traveled extensively with the attorney general and was “indispensable in terms of the many functions he carries out in this office.”)
King ran for reelection in 2010 but was defeated in the GOP primary by Luther Strange.
