A former state attorney general of Alabama from 1997-2003 (and the youngest state attorney general at the time), Judge William Pryor was nominated to the Eleventh Circuit by President George W. Bush in April, 2003.
Since then, the staunchly conservative judge has proven to be an outspoken homophobe. in 2005, Pryor wrote a brief to the Supreme Court on behalf of the Texas anti-sodomy law where he argued that decriminalized gay sex would lead to legalized necrophilia, bestiality and child pornography.
Lambda Legal Task Force President called him “an ideological tyrant of the highest order.”
Law blog Legal Schnauzer is alleging that a set of 12 naked images taken between 1980 and 1984 (when William Pryor would have been in law school) are definitely of Judge Pryor. The images originally appeared in print, but resurfaced in the message boards of gay porn mega-site Badpuppy.
Legal Schnauzer contacted Judge Pryor via email asking for confirmation and requesting an interview, to which they received the following terse reply:
I have nothing to say to you except that these accusations are totally false. Do not contact me again. Bill Pryor
They replied Pryor’s email, stating that multiple sources close to the judge have identified the person in the photo as Pryor, to which he
received another terse response:
This is the last time I will respond to you. Those photos are not of me. Do not contact me again. Bill Pryor
So, obviously he’s going to deny it, but the pictures stand for themselves. Take a gander and decide for yourself.
It seems like it could very-well be Pryor, who is a married father of two. Posing naked is not something we would normally chide someone for doing. Given the fact that he’s been classified as one of the most demonstrably anti-gay judicial nominees in recent memory adds a level of hypocrisy to the whole equation. What do you guys think? (Also, if anyone has any of the other 11 photos from the set, please feel free to share them!
