Republican Rep. Randy Boehning of the North Dakota House is seeking re-election and he would kindly like your vote please and thank you.
Boehning says he’s “proud” of his legislative accomplishments thus far, which include voting against granting LGBTQ people legal protections.
“That is why I’m running once again,” he said in a statement released yesterday. “I will continue to be a strong voice for the residents in my district.”
Boehning made headlines back in 2015 when he was exposed for sending an unsolicited dick pic to a dude on Grindr under the screen name Top Man.
How about we take this to the next level?

Ironically, the photo leak came very shortly after Boehning voted against a bill that would have banned housing and employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
After the leak, Boehning came out as gay and confirmed it was, indeed, his penis featured in the x-rated photo, calling the whole thing a “lapse in judgement.”
He explained: “That’s what gay guys do on gay sites, don’t they? That’s how things happen on Grindr. It’s a gay chat site. It’s not the first thing you do on that site. That’s what we do, exchange pics on the site.”
When asked this week whether the scandal could impact his re-election, Boehning shrugged and said, “I don’t know. I guess we’ll find out.”
The 55-year-old lawmaker was first elected to the House in 2002.

I am so glad that social media has a place in this world.

Sigh. Oh well despite the fact that we now live in a ‘if it feels good do it’ society there is consequences to promiscuity. https://www.therainbowright.com/morals-matter-milwaukee-has-largest-hiv-outbreak-in-us-history/ . Sad…

Another right wingnut who can’t stay off gay sites. Sad.

If you troll screenames don’t want to get busted for all being the same account, you may want to shy away from the fact that you all use words like “Chaste” promiscuity”, and other terms that call you out as an Evangellical trolling an LGBT site.

“promiscuity” is not the offence here – recreational sex is not wrong or bad – it’s up to the individual – some like it & some don’t – the real issue is HYPOCRISY – a gay politician who actively participates in anti-gay oppression & persecution, is beneath contempt and deserves no sympathy, nor tolerance …

There are consequences to IGNORANCE, you twit. One can be incredibly promiscuous and yet well protected from STIs. But you and your ilk (lying heterosexual scum masquerading as gay men poorly) are too far removed from reality to understand.
Unless you enjoy being laughed at for your dullness, you’d be wise to go back to britebart or wherever it is trolls like you hang out.

Should the comment not say, “there ARE consequences to promiscuity”? I don’t want to be picky, here, but we want our “Queerty” to be grammatically and in all other ways correct… RobtheElder

And even more ironically, this right-wing Republican hypocrite’s last name probably could be pronounced “Boning”!

Maybe Randy is just randy.

Unfortunately, he will probably be re-elected…. Absolutely nothing surprises me anymore.

Should use a sabotaging campaign to alienate his voters by suggesting he supports pro-gay policies.
