Yet another shoe has dropped in the seemingly never-ending story of former Ohio state Rep. Wes Goodman, the married antigay Republican who was outed for being bisexual last month.
Between the reports he was caught having sex with another man in his office, the screenshots of the raunchy sext messages he sent to a bunch of other dudes, and leaked emails about his involvement with an underage boy at an antigay fundraiser, we didn’t think it could get much worse for the self-proclaimed “Christian. American. Conservative. Republican.” who made promoting “natural marriage” one of his top campaign issues.
And then this happened…
Not one but two men who work in Washington, D.C. have come forward to talk about their sexual relationships with Goodman, who they both met on Craigslist several years ago. And, yes, they have the email threads and text messages to prove it.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Johnny Hadlock tells cleveland.com that he met Goodman back in 2010. At the time, Hadlock was working for GOP congressional staffer Chris Donnelly. He claims the two started by texting. The texting quickly turned into sexting. Eventually they had phone sex, though Hadlock says they never actually engaged in any physical sex acts.
The relationship continued for a few years before fizzling out when Hadlock went to work for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign. He says he last spoke to Goodman in 2014. He shared a Facebook conversation with cleveland.com that shows Goodman initiating conversation multiple times.
One time Goodman says his wife was “out of town.” Another time he says she’s “asleep.” In one conversation, Goodman tells Hadlock he’s “in his underwear.” In another, he asks if Hadlock is “turned on.”
“Wes never sexually harassed me,” Hadlock says. “We both knew what we were doing and we were both fine doing it.”

Another former GOP congressional staffer, Chris Donnelly, tells cleveland.com that in 2008 Goodman replied to a M4M Craigslist ad he had posted and that the two actually hooked up.
Donnelly shared the email thread with cleveland.com, which shows the name Brady Murphey, which he claims was an alias being used by Goodman, describing himself as a “straight/curious” guy who needed to be “discreet.”
“Maybe we can hang and see what’s up, no expectations really,” the response reads. “But your post seemed cool so let me know bro.”
Donnelly claims Goodman “all over Craigslist” back then and responded to several of his ads.
“It became a running joke between me and my gay friends on Capitol Hill,” Donnelly recalls. “It’s not like it was some one-off thing.”
In his resignation statement released last month, Goodman said: “We all bring our own struggles and our own trials into public life. That has been true for me.”
No kidding, dude.

We all know, and it has been proven over and over. If you are a rabidly bigoted anti-lgbt Republican there is a huge chance of one of two things.
1. You are a closet case and think that by attacking lgbts you will give yourself cover.
2. You attack lgbts to pretend to hide the fact that you have a major and usually illegal skeleton to hide. You are a child molester, a wife beater, a drug addict etc… and figure that you can pretend to be holier than thou and nobody will look too closely at you if you attack a different group.

Accurate observation but in fairness to the scum, there is another reason they do it which I would propose. Some of them do it I believe because of deep-seated anxieties they feel about their own sexual prowess. These people seem to believe that all gay men are hypersexual and engage in sexual activity 24/7. They compare that to their occasional forays into sex and are deeply concerned that somehow they are inadequate as men.

How soon before the one troll and his 8 screenames comes in here to try to change the subject to Hillary?
Juanjo
any minute I am sure.

3… 2…. 1…. Wait for it.
BTW Juanjo, I didn’t call you a pedophile. KaiserRoll said I did. I was calling a fake account of mine that. Apologies for any confusion.
You’re cool 🙂

I don’t see how any of these 2 stories add anything to the plate. Nothing new about a married guy getting his rocks off with someone of age on craigslist. And it happened like 7-8 years ago. I am sure it’s all Hillary’s fault…LOL

This was from some weeks ago. I’m surprised Queerty didn’t cover it before. This guy apparently assaulted a 17 year old. Not all his liasions we’re consensual. Apparently, he also constantly went through Craigslist for hookups.
I think the third or fourth Ohio Republican to resign in scandal. Another rep resigned for a sexting scandal.

Queerty actually did cover this, and the GOP/conservatrolls came out to defend Goodman, as expected. I guess none are willing to slip from under their rocks and defend him this time. BTW, could this creep have had a more ironic last name?
GC1985
Goodman was a Badman after assaulting that teen boy. The right wing trolls defended him? I haven’t been on this site too often, but doesn’t surprise me they defend a two timing hypocrite. They also like Roy Moore for his “economic issues” (whatever the heck that means).

The thing that surprised me the most in my adult years was how many gay men worked in politics. Both parties. In all levels. I mean, we have already had more than one gay president (some say 3 already).
So being self loathing and hiding it…not a real big shocker. Most zealots are big O hypocrites.
GC1985
I would hope any gay men would be fleeing the GOP. That is like throwing yourself into a lake of alligators.
tricky ricky
the underage was actually 18 and legal but he was asleep and it was without consent. it was the same maneuver used by an indiana republican on a sleeping male.
Notright
Sigh…any change they get to rag on a republican even if its not warranted. News flash Queerty not all gays are liberals!

News flash. Gay Republicans and gay conservatives are self hating self serving hypocrites. And again with those articles. That tax cut only benefits the rich, hit and run troll. It also adds $1.5 trillion on the debt. What good is an extra $20 on your paycheck when healthcare premiums skyrocket because of it? That tax cut is a joke and so is that website. Might as well be Jews for Hitler.
