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.
