Aladamnbama, Y’all.
Okay, so there’s a probate judge in Alabama who refused to perform marriage ceremonies for LGBTQ people because … Jesus.
He just got caught sexting a former bride in his court who married a much older man … you know, about the same age as the judge.
The complaint said Archer met a woman in 2013 when she was 34 and went to the probate office to wed a 68-year-old man. Archer performed the ceremony and noted the large age difference between the two, the complaint said.
The wedding was soon annulled, according to the complaint. In January, Archer began sending the woman sexually explicit messages and nude photos on Facebook, investigators alleged.
So, he’s sending naked pictures of himself on Facebook because … horny.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
He obviously forgot Jessica Williams’ two rules of social media:
1) Don’t tweet your junk.
2) No, seriously, DON’T TWEET YOUR JUNK.
(I know it was Facebook, not Twitter, but the rules are just as valid IMHO.)
1SnacilbupeR ethics, writ large. Shame on Letcher. Er, Archer. Either way, same thing.
2I knew a gentleman of 80 who was brilliant, a great storyteller, adored women, and had absolutely no trouble attracting female attention, including intimate attention from younger ladies.
But, dude, sending her pictures of your stuff does not intersect with the above description at any point. Any point.
And how did you get to be that age and *still* think that’s what women want?
3Heck, Rhea, Sean Connery is 85, and he would have NO trouble attracting me (and probably all other ladies.)
4I thought the typically republican/male/rabidly-religious misfeasance here would’ve been sexting to a young male. My mistake.
5So I looked up the local newspaper story and got the biggest chuckle from an exchange of comments:

“This is crap. He is a good man. A good Christian man. He should be forgiven. Lord help Judge Archer.”

6“Maybe the lord shoulda helped him before he sent out nudie pics.”
Oh yeah … just guessing that the picture of the judge had more downs than ups.
7AKLynne, Sean Cannery? Yuck. He’s one of the top misogynists in movies. Even if I was straight, I’d still find him repellent.
8Could not resist…had to go stick my oar in and tell the judge’s defender that good Christian men didn’t take pictures of their junk and share them. Jesus never said Share your junk with the world and then blame the woman for “baiting” you .
9AKLynne, I see your Sean Connery, and raise you Patrick Stewart. (Recently Susan Sarandon said that when she was 80 she wanted to direct porn. Comments: “As long as the actors aren’t 80, I’d watch.” “There are plenty of hot old people. I plan to be one.” “If someone made a good erotic film with Patrick Stewart and Helen Mirren, I’d watch the heck out of that.” “Oh, yes!” “Make it so!”)
10You just can’t make this stuff up….when I think I can’t be surprised at the stupidity anymore
11This is such a snacilbupeR characteristic that it no longer even enrages me!
12I’m deeply suspicious of anybody waving the Jesus stick.
13Rhea, yeah, Patrick Stewart every time.
I think most men … straight or gay … want to show off their “junk!” Most are quite proud of what they have to offer! LOL Sort of like women with big boobs … they simply want to show them off to whomever wants a look-see!!
14Elizabeth Moon@9: Just because you couldn’t find Jesus’s “little bird” parable in Mathew, Mark, Luke, or John, or even in one a them Corinthians, doesn’t mean it isn’t written. It must be, or so many good Christian folks wouldn’t display such behavior on one hand, and on the other beat their chest about how morally superior they are. I’ve come to the conclusion that this and so many other of Jesus’s instructions to these douchebags is recorded in a secret book of the New Testament. Acts. Acts of the Apostates. I have faith in that.
15You’re absolutely right, Debbo! Connery is a wife beater! Don’t take my word for it, use the Google. I totally lost it for him after I read all that woman-beating stuff. He’s not a man. He’s a coward. I won’t cry when we finally hear he’s DEAD. I’ll cheer.
16@treehugger: pity he didn’t just stick with waving the Jesus schtick, no? Poor lady!
17Yeah, Aggieland Liz, is there a collection for eye bleach for her?
18The article doesn’t say how old this 40-years-married bozo is. But I’m putting my bet on senility.
In which case, he shouldn’t be a judge any more. So maybe that 6-month suspension should just quietly segue into retirement.
And his age aside, refusing to marry same-sex couples is deplorable.j
19bethany: The man may be a wife-beater. And a great lay. So… enjoy the sexy time. But, for goodness sake, don’t marry the sumbitch!
And as for any man’s “junk” and Jesus? What can you expect from a guy who ends every orgasm with “Oh, God! Oh, God!”
20JAK, “The man may be a wife-beater.”
Huh? I think you may need to learn a little more about domestic violence. He’s highly likely to be emotionally abusive to his children and animals, if not worse. No woman who gets into any kind of relationship with him is safe. A domestic violence offender is a cruel sumbitch who humiliates, terrorizes and injures people smaller and weaker than him. (I’ve worked in domestic violence for decades.)
PS. I’m not trying to embarrass you. Just offering information.
21Debbo: Believe me, I get it. Happens in the gay world, too. The advice here sounds silly but true;
1. Scope him out. Take time. There’s no rush. If ANYTHING bothers you, then bail.
2. Take it for what it is. A fling? Fine. Move on. Don’t expect more and no, you can’t “fix” him. Why should you have to?
3. If it’s meant to be more it will be. Don’t manufacture or project what isn’t there.
Took me a good many years to learn these simple and wise precautions
22I know it happens in any relationship. What I’m saying is, if he has a history of violence, stay far away. Don’t do any scoping, no feeling out. Stay far away.
