Oh Dear, another Republican put the cherry on top of the Hypocrisy Sundae.

North Dakota Republican State Representative Randy Boehning voted against a bill granting equal rights to gay people in the state.

Come to find out, Randy Boehning goes by the name “TopMan!” on Grindr, a popular hook-up app for gay men.  He had be sending raunchy texts and even winkie photos to a 21 year old man.

He got outed.

Boehning’s response?

Boehning, who thankfully is not married, claims he’s relieved to finally be out of the closet. “The 1,000-pound gorilla has been lifted,” he told reporters. “I have to confront it at some point.” But he told the reporters he suspects he got outed in retaliation for voting against the bill.

I suspect it was mighty quiet in the GOP caucus that afternoon.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
