North Dakota Anti-Gay Lawmaker Outed On Grindr Looking To Hook Up With Guys, Also Outed As Having The Worst Text Game Ever
(Source) 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 articlealongside photos of the politicians. What surprised Smith was that he knew one of them — somewhat intimately, it turns out.
“I’m sure I’ve talked to this person before,” Smith remembers thinking to himself, as he told The Washington Post in a telephone interview from his home in Bismarck, N.D. “Suddenly it dawned on me: I think I’ve seen this guy on Grindr!” Smith started going through his conversations on Grindr — “an all-male location-based social network“— searching for the round, bespectacled face and bushy eyebrows. And there he was: Top Man!, a.k.a. Randy Boehning, the Republican state representative from Fargo.
Scrolling through the conversation, however, Smith found more than sexually suggestive messages. He found an unsolicited picture of the public servant’s not-so-public parts. “I just felt like this story had to get out,” Smith said. “A [representative] had voted against a bill for the LGBT community and here he was talking to me on Grindr.” Smith approached a reporter from the Forum in Fargo, and on Monday night the newspaper ran an exposé.
Since his election in 2002, Boehning has proved a staunch conservative. He has pushed to allow guns in classrooms and churches and sponsored strict voter identification requirements. He once attacked Democrats over their effort to give poor kids extra milk at school. Twice, he’s voted against expanding legal protections for gays.
Grindr-gate, however, has plunged Boehning into an existential crisis. Confronted with the photos he had sent Smith, the lawmaker admitted that he was gay. (His Grindr bio reads: “Seems I haven’t found mister right yet, so need to keep looking for and having fun on the way! Hit me up boys.”)
….
Ah yes, a story as old as time. Crazy Lawmaker uses his powers to strike down gay rights while secretly being “Top Man” on grindr looking to fuck dudes from here to Bismarck. A lesson we should all learn at some point or another. The person who barks the loudest usually has something to hide. The one who sits on his high horse judging usually has a skeleton or two tucked away.
Now this story isn’t exactly new, but what is new is how fucking shitty Randy Boehning is at hooking up. Between the “Seems I haven’t found mister right yet, Hit me up boys” grindr profile that sounds like a lame teenager, the smiley face tie that makes you look like middle management at an accounting firm just trying to “lighten up the mood” during tax season.
And the BRUTAL grindr convos, you suck at hooking up man. The existential crisis shouldn’t be about being gay, it should be about how shitty your game is. Because I don’t care who you are or what your sexual orientation is, when you send someone the “U Horny” text and they immediately reply “Not really” and you STILL send dick pics a split second later, you suck at sexting.
So if there is anyone to blame Randy it’s yourself. Be better at fucking dudes on grindr and maybe next time you went get outed for being a two face bigot. Randy has only one person to blame here, and that’s Randy for always being horny, lol.
