Well, it appears today’s story of a Republican senator’s “Honest guys, I didn’t know that the guy who I had dinner with last night was a gay porn star.” story comes from the great state of Minnesota.

State lawmaker has dining date with porn star

A minnesotaindependent.com article states that a gay porn news website, The Sword, quotes Koering as saying: “Do I think that being a porn star is the best thing? No. But that’s his choice. I think he’s a nice guy.”

Wilde has starred in films such as “My Brother’s Hot Friend” and “Cruiser Boys,” according to the minnesotaindependent.com, and he divides his time between Brainerd, Minn., and West Hollywood, Calif.

The website also quotes Minnesota state GOP chair Tony Sutton as saying the dinner showed poor judgment by Koering.

The question Koering did not raise during our interview is whether a heterosexual politician’s dinner with a tweety porn star would have raised any eyebrows.

The answer: Oh yeah.
