A North Dakota state representative says a colleague publicized explicit photos he sent to another man as payback for the Republican’s anti-gay vote. Randy Boehning, a 52-year-old Republican also known as “Top Man!” on certain hookup sites, voted against non-discrimination ordinances in the past, and had no intention of changing his vote, even after statehouse staffers spotted the closeted representative on Grindr. “How can you discriminate against the person you’re trying to pick up?” asked Dustin Smith, the 21-year-old man who revealed Boehning’s nude shots to a local paper. Boehning—who has since said he’s relieved to have been outed—refuses to name the staffer who told him he would be subject to retaliation. He also says he may vote for the bill another time—as long as it no longer protects people who are simply percieved to be gay.
