Family Values Anti-Gay GOP Politician Outed After Sending Dick Pic to Another Man on Grindr

Have you ever suspected that a lot of the Republicans protesting so loudly about same sex marriage and voting for anti-gay laws might be secretly gay themselves?

Well, here’s one who definitely is: Anti-Gay GOP Lawmaker Outed After Sending Explicit Photo to Another Man.

The Forum, a North Dakota-based newspaper, reported that the man who received the photos from the lawmaker, Randy Boehning, was upset that Boehning had voted against a sexual orientation nondiscrimination bill.

According to a voter guide [PDF] issued by the North Dakota Family Alliance, the state affiliate of the Family Research Council, Boehning said he supports North Dakota’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and opposes laws barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. He also said he opposes “adding ‘sexual orientation’ to the list of criteria used to determine anti-bullying policies in our public schools.’”

“He initally refused to answer questions about his app-tivity when contacted two weeks ago. On Saturday, he told the paper, regarding his sending of a dick pic, “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.”

On being outed, Boehning said, “The 1,000-pound gorilla has been lifted.” In addition to finally admitting that he’s attracted to men, Boehning says he’s also attracted to women.”

From Christian Post

“After careful review by our team, we have found the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions,” Oregon Live quoted the site as saying in a statement.

“The money raised thus far will still be made available for withdrawal. While a different campaign was recently permitted for a pizzeria in Indiana, no laws were violated and the campaign remained live. However, the subjects of the ‘Support Sweet Cakes By Melissa’ campaign have been formally charged by local authorities and found to be in violation of Oregon state law concerning discriminatory acts. Accordingly, the campaign has been disabled,” it added.

Alex Jones cultists have occupied Austin and taken over the governor’s mind. Abbott Orders Texas Guard to ‘Monitor’ Planned Military Exercises

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is ordering the Texas State Guard to monitor a two-month long U.S. military exercise scheduled to be held in Bastrop County this summer. The move comes amid suspicions from some residents (and the Internet) about the motivations behind the training.

The exercises, designated Operation Jade Helm 15, will involve more than 1,200 soldiers, Marines and others between July 15 and September 15. The military says the exercise is intended to train personnel on acclimating to unfamiliar terrain and climates.

I should emphasize that the Abbott/Jones collective’s orders have gone to the STATE Guard, not the Texas National Guard. The State Guard is an unpaid and usually unarmed (though officially sanctioned) volunteer militia.

Comment #330 Previous Thread - Texans Question Military

I’ve noticed an interesting and rather bizarre back narrative in the uproar over this Jade Helm exercise. A lot of the alarmed citizens seem to be unaware that the US military has ever conducted exercises like this in the United States, or that its missiles, tanks, and other equipment have always been stationed, and periodically moved around, in this country. I know it is weird, but what other inference can you draw when people carry on about this being “unprecedented” or various kinds of equipment appearing “suddenly” in locales where it has in fact been visible for years? One conspiraloon spelled it out to me. She threw their standard claim at me that I was only “taking the government’s word for it” when I pointed out that Reese Air Force Base had conducted military training near Lubbock for almost 50 years.

The same propaganda technique, pretending that the familiar and routine is new and sinister, is very much on display in the similar conspiracist uproar over recent ammunition purchases by various federal agencies. Published records show that similar orders have been placed in past years for similar amounts, and this goes back as far as you care to go. Should our 50,000 Coast Guard personnel (who work for DHS) have to buy their own ammunition to maintain the required handgun proficiency? The IRS needs ammunition because some of its field agents are armed and guns are useless without practice. The necessity for this should be obvious to anyone.

This is total conjecture on my part, but as we watch all these cities going up in flame, and we see massive amounts of people showing up and being bussed in (quite organized), I’m wondering if all those Obamaphones are being used by the regime to text coordinates, instructions, etc. What else could explain these organized riots?

Along with military exercises and government ammo purchases, the so-called Obama phone is yet another example of the far right giving the familiar and routine a sinister spin simply by pretending that it is new and unprecedented. The program in fact dates back at least to President Reagan though it provided only land lines until about 2010.

Maybe he can doxx Ben Carson—he was running his mouth about Baltimore as well—and making about as much sense as he usually does.

We need to get to the bottom of any problems of discrimination. But the larger issue here is, how do you react when something is wrong? If you have an unpleasant experience with a plumber, do you go out and declare a war on all plumbers?

I think “non-violent protesting” is a misnomer. Serious non-violent protests (like those led by Gandhi and MLK) weren’t passive. They were active and violent — but they were about receiving the violence, not dishing it out. They forced the other side to commit violence and willingly accepted that violence in order to completely destroy the legitimacy of their opponents. It is a brutal and effective strategy, but it takes a lot of discipline.

Yeah, that’s something lost on all those morons quoting Dr. King and criticizing protestors for not practicing “non-violent protesting.” The whole point of such is to invoke outrage and sympathy against the authorities and for the protestors respectively. In the South, where violence had been a way for centuries to keep blacks in line, police didn’t think twice about it. But in the North, where that sort of shit wasn’t acceptable, the cops got wise and took to provoking demonstrators by cutting off access to services, keeping them confined in an area, and doing everything they could to piss off the protestors until one would do something like throw a rock, at which time the truncheons came out and the skull cracking began. And when the whole melee was over, the police would blame “violence” on the part of the protestors for the riot.

Given the nature of the rest of the sculpture there the sculptor is probably making an artistic statement rather than a religious one. Now the idiot that paired it with the creepy kids? He’s off in lalalalalalallallaa land with it.

127 Shiplord Kirel  Apr 28, 2015 7:23:01pm

Speaking of devil spawn, the spy network in Massachusetts has yielded some new gossip intelligence about my church deacon brother Judas.

It seems that he sees himself as an ultimate martyr, since he has been miserable throughout his 36 year marriage to my ex-wife Jezebel but couldn’t escape because he was trapped by his “sense of responsibility.”

That’s pathetic enough, but the good part is that he thinks this is all my fault. Yes, being as clever as Satan, I somehow manipulated him and Jezebel into running off together (taking my daughter in the process) because I was tired of the marriage and wanted to dump her on someone handy, which he happened to be.

DARVO for him, exquisite schadenfreude for me.

*sigh*

A wingnut associate (I use the term loosely) has now provided me with a new conspiracy, courtesy of a blog I’ve never heard of. According to this blog, Freddie Gray received a lump sum settlement in court for injuries sustained in a car accident. That much at least has a shred of evidence, namely court documents online. But then it goes completely off the rails by saying “anonymous sources” are telling the blogger that Gray suffered spinal injuries and had surgery, possibly as little as 10 days prior to the run-in with the Baltimore PD. And then goes on to speculate that Gray, in his flight from the cops, caused his own injuries due to the recent surgery.

A quick glance over the rest of the blog tells me all I need to know, from theories about how the EPA is looking to turn churches into indoctrination centers, to accusations that the White House is orchestrating the riots in Baltimore.

139 Targetpractice  Apr 28, 2015 7:46:28pm

Thing about it is that, even if the theory was correct, it’s still falls under the “eggshell skull rule.” It doesn’t matter what condition Gray was in when the cops got hold of his ass, their behavior caused injury or aggravated an existing injury in such a manner as to contribute to his death.

I should emphasize that the Abbott/Jones collective’s orders have gone to the STATE Guard, not the Texas National Guard. The State Guard is an unpaid and usually unarmed (though officially sanctioned) volunteer militia.

So Abbott thinks that Cletus T. Yokel and his fellow militia patriots will be able to keep up with active duty SpecialOps? Good luck with that.

Honestly, it’s embarrassing that we’re governed by a paranoid moron who panders to other paranoid morons.

145 The War TARDIS  Apr 28, 2015 7:57:33pm

Oh, I did find this about about Baltimore’s mayor. From Wikipedia, but I checked, and it is on Playbill:

In 2015, Rawlings-Blake became the first mayor to appear in Chicago, saying “I am honored to be the first mayor to appear in Chicago—one of the most historic shows in Broadway history—and I want to reassure the cast and crew that I am already hard at work rehearsing my lines. I always love to show off the ‘razzle dazzle’ of Baltimore’s flourishing cultural scene, from expanding our Arts & Entertainment Districts, to growing Baltimore’s downtown theater corridor and all that jazz. I cannot wait to make my big debut in an amazing show like Chicago.” She appeared in a one night performance on March 4, 2015, as an ensemble performer throughout the night.

I think she needs to be a one termer, since she is certainly not taking being mayor seriously. Draft John Angelos

A moment of sanity from a Freeper:

Here’s the thing for me: If any of us had caused Freddie Gray’s death because of even an innocent act on our part that exacerbated his previous condition we’d be up on charges for at least negligent homicide.

If we’d bound him and thrown him in the back of a van and then taken him on a ‘nickel ride’ so he got tossed around in the back of the van we’d be up on charges of first degree murder.

A badge should not be an excuse or a free pass to commit crimes that anyone posting on this topic would NEVER get away with.
