Rep. Wes Goodman |
An Ohio lawmaker known for his devotion to “family values” has stepped down after allegedly engaging in “inappropriate conduct with another man” in his office.
State Rep. Wes Goodman (R-Cardington) resigned Tuesday after a witness reported the incident to Ohio House chief of staff Mike Dittoe, according to the Columbus Dispatch. Specifics of the alleged incident are unclear.
House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) said he met with Goodman on Tuesday, and that the lawmaker “acknowledged and confirmed the allegations.”
“I was alerted to details yesterday afternoon regarding his involvement in inappropriate behavior related to his state office,” Rosenberger said Wednesday. “It became clear that his resignation was the most appropriate course of action for him, his family, the constituents of the 87th House District and this institution.”
Nothing wrong with being gay, nor necessarily anything wrong with a little hanky panky at the office (I've certainly done my share.), however when you run as a "family values" candidate you simply cannot let your man parts touch another man's parts.
Hell if he had only molested underage girls or raped grown women apparently the fundamentalists would have given this guy a pass.
But simply put the "gay stuff" just freaks them out.
In light of all of the increased awareness of sexual harrassment, etc, I can't believe you said "nothing wrong with a little hanky panky at the office". Oh wait, I can.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who's been here for any length of time knows that he meant consensual, but by all means keep on your "disparage at all costs" mission. He's stronger than you. Obviously.
DeleteNobody has to disparage Gryphen at all costs. He does that perfectly well on his own. He's the most sexist and misogynistic "pretend Democrat" you could ever hope to meet.

DeleteOnly if you think women can't consent or even pursue. My current spouse and I were colleagues, neither in a supervisory position over another, neither with anything to gain by favors, sexual or otherwise. We kept it discreet,and locked the office door before sex on the desk AFTER marriage. Now married almost 20 years.
DeleteSorry, but I really don't see the problem.
Your paid for iffice? Or tax payers office?
DeleteAlicia, get lost. NObody ever had sex on any desk with you. You're unemployable.
