GOP candidate admits lesbian affair with 'minor' while working as school gym teacher... but claims Christianity 'cured' her



A Republican woman running for a state government position in Virginia admitted that she had a lesbian encounter with a minor while working as a high school gym teacher.



Linda Wall, 61, said that she is a completely different person from the time when the relationship occurred, and now she consistently speaks out against legislation that she feels promotes homosexual lifestyles.



'Forty years ago I was a different person. I was a heavy pot smoker with... impaired judgement and made some bad choices,' she told a local Associated Press reporter.



Converted: Even though Linda Wall, 61, has publicly admitted to having a sexual relationship with a minor, it is still a felony and if the girl comes forward Wall can be charged because Virginia has lax statute of limitations laws

'You do that in college sometimes. Some people do, some people don't,' she continued.



She also explained that the the girl that Ms Wall had sexual relations with was a minor at the time. Because there is no statute of limitations on felonies, Ms Wall could still be charged with a crime if the woman decides to come forward.



The revelation technically came in 2006, when she was deposed as part of a defamation lawsuit against her and another Republican candidate.



In the deposition, she admitted that she resigned from her position as a physical education teacher at Prince George High School near Petersburg, Virginia when the girl's parents confronted her about the relationship.



'I've never tried to hide that I was in homosexuality. If anybody Googles me, they would find that out there,' she said.

The 2006 deposition was prompted by her competitor in the race for Virginia's state senate just two weeks before the election. She ended up losing.



'I did it because it shows Linda Wall is not fit to hold public office,' her then-competitor Paul Jost said.



She is currently running for a seat in Virginia's state House of Delegates.



On her campaign website, Ms Wall attributes her lesbian relationship to the wayward ways of her liberal college teachers.



'When I went away to Longwood College, I allowed liberal professors to destroy my Judeo-Christian upbringing. I guess one could say I became the 'prodigal daughter'. But when my rebellious years came to a close I knew it was the Lord that I needed.' she writes on her campaign website.



She now considers herself an 'ex-gay' and is very verbal in her prediliction towards laws that support the 'traditional' family.



She currently lobbies on behalf of a conservative group opposed to same-sex marriages and adoption by same-sex couples called the Family Foundation.
