N.D. legislator who voted against gay rights bill caught sending pics on Grindr

Dustin Smith is an “out and proud gay man” living in North Dakota, one of America’s more conservative states. So the 21-year-old wasn’t exactly surprised when he read that state legislators had refused to outlaw discrimination against gays. “These are the members of the House who voted against legal protections,” read the headline of an April 2 article alongside photos of the politicians.

What surprised Smith was that he knew one of them — somewhat intimately, it turns out.

Questions to pose to the crowd:

Would you, hypothetically, as a staunch conservative whose support partially depended on anti-gay rhetoric, send dick pics? Is this an effective way to run your career?
Do Republicans love Dicks?
How good of a name is Boehning for this controversy?

 

[Phrossack]

Republicans have always loved Dicks.

Spoiler :

 

[Wolfbeckett]

Another Republican who spouts anti-gay rhetoric publicly while secretly engaging in gay activity?

Yaaaaaaaawn.

"Okay, I'm a closeted homosexual living in a conservative state. What should I do today? I know, I'll send people pictures of my penis. No need to hide my face either, what's the point? But before that, let's cross the t's and dot the i's on this anti-gay speech that I'm giving tomorrow."

The OP didn't give the legislator's full name: Randy Boehning (pronounced boning). Seriously, that sounds like a porn name already.

I'll just start assuming that anyone opposed to gay rights is in the closet. There are too many of these types of stories for it to be a co-inky-dinky.

Is he related to the Speaker of House by the same family name?

No, that's Boehner, which is also a funny name.

 

[Kennigit]

I gotta say, grindr keeps getting quality free brand awareness by all these guys getting caught on it looking for hookups

Boehner and Boehning, ki-ss-ing!

Raised in an evangelical Christian family in Dickinson, N.D., Smith said his parents learned he was gay when they found an amorous conversation with a schoolmate on his cellphone.

Alright this is getting silly.

 

[Antilogic]

Randy Boning hooking up with a guy from Dickinson? This is ridiculous. Are we sure this isn't a planted story?

 

[madviking]

no no no no

you can't mix hastags and -gate

that's not how it works

 

[Goodfella]

I don't even see why this surprising, we already knew the guy liked to screw gays.

(obv joke)

 

[JollyRoger]

Doesn't North Dakota already have enough fracking problems?

Yaaaaaaaawn.

My thoughts also.

If this guy's married I hope his wife divorces him & takes all his stuff.
