Senator Rick Santorum has a gay chief spokesperson. Robert Traynham came out as a gay man and he is the communications director for the senator. Santorum is very well known in the gay community for denying gays their civil rights and was a major supporter of the Constitutional Amendment that would have banned same-sex marriages.
Santorum said this about it:
Traynham has worked for the senator for 8 years and has been openly gay the entire time. Is it possible that Santorum is really more understanding and tolerant of gays then he portrays himself? Does the media treat him unfairly when reporting his stand on gay rights? Maybe he is really not against gays but only wants to protect the definition of marriage as he understands it.

Santorum said this about it:
“[Robert Traynham] is widely respected and admired on Capitol Hill, both among the press corps and among congressional staff, as a communications professional,” Santorum said. “Not only is Mr. Traynham an exemplary staffer, he is also a trusted friend and confidante to me and my family,” Santorum said in his statement.
