WASHINGTON – Prominent Democrat, gay rights activist and Obama donor Terry Bean is taking a leave of absence from his post at the Human Rights Campaign after being arrested and indicted on two counts of third-degree sodomy and third-degree sexual abuse with a teenage boy.
Bean and his 25-year-old former boyfriend, Kiah Lawson, allegedly used the iPhone app Grindr to arrange a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old boy in a Eugene, Oregon hotel on Sept. 27, 2013....

Former Bush administration official Brad Blakeman said if Bean were a major Republican donor, coverage of the story, which has been mostly regional, would be different.
"The coverage would be overwhelmingly negative, and it would be a trial in the media as opposed to a trial in the justice system,” Blakeman told Fox News. “He would have been convicted just by the charges alone.”

Come to think of it, Rachael Maddow hasn't said much about this guy's arrest. If he was republican ??....probably yeah, she'd be talking about it for the full hour of her program and nothing else...for about a week or two.
