21-year-old Dustin Smith was cruising Grindr and was surprised to see a familiar “Top Man!”, in a new light for a reason you might not think. In an interview with InForum, Smith explained that earlier this month, he saw a photo of State Rep. Randy Boehning in the newspaper alongside other North Dakota House reps who’d just voted against a bill that would have banned discrimination against LGBT people.
“Just a couple weeks ago, I saw the front page of the Forum with all the congressmen who had voted no on that anti-discrimination bill. And I recognized him [Boehning], and was like, ‘who is that guy? I know I’ve seen him somewhere…’”
Then, Smith remembered where he’d seen Randy Boehning –on Grindr! He’d been sending dirty messages to Smith for over a year and a half.
“He was making sexual advances, asking me my preferences, what I’m like in the bedroom, that kind of stuff…He had asked for provocative photos of me. He even sent Smith an unasked-for dick pic. Yuck. I messaged him after I saw him in the paper. And I said — I was just flabbergasted — ‘I don’t see how you can hide behind your cell phone or your tablet or however you get on Grindr and vote the way that you are… doesn’t the hypocrisy of that bother you at all?’”
Boehning, who is not married, claims he’s relieved be out of the closet now:
“The 1,000-pound gorilla has been lifted. I have to confront it at some point.”
He voted against a similar bill in 2009 and would have in 2013, had the proposal not died in the Senate before a House vote. He has said to the press that he suspects he got outed in retaliation for voting against the bill. Duh. If you are an animal rights activist and then go on safari hunting big game, don’t you think you might get called on it? Bye, Felicia! Btw, here are the other dickbags who voted against LGBT protection in North Dakota.
