Anti-Gay Ohio Lawmaker Secretly Sent Suggestive Messages to Young Men

Wes Goodman, an Ohio lawmaker who resigned last week after engaging in “inappropriate behavior” with another man in his office, reportedly sent suggestive messages to and pursued young men sexually despite his anti-LGBT views. Chris Donnelly, a former Republican Capitol Hill staffer, told Cleveland.com that Goodman was “all over Craigslist” in pursuit of sex with men during his time working in Washington, D.C. “It became a running joke between me and my gay friends on Capitol Hill,” Donnelly said. “It’s not like it was some one-off thing.” Goodman, 33, is married and formerly worked on Capitol Hill for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
