Anti-LGBT state rep resigns after getting caught having gay sex...in his office

Ohio state rep Wes Goodman has stepped down - officially for undefined "inappropriate behavior in his office". Story here.

Quote:

House Speaker Cliff Rosenberger said he was alerted Tuesday afternoon to Goodman's involvement in "inappropriate behavior related to his state office." Rosenberger met with Goodman later Tuesday, and the representative confirmed the allegations. "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," Rosenberger said in a statement Wednesday. In an interview later Wednesday morning, Rosenberger told cleveland.com there had been an inappropriate interaction in Goodman's Riffe Center office between the married lawmaker and a person not employed by the legislature. Rosenberger wouldn't provide any more details. Rosenberger spokesman Brad Miller said the interaction was consensual and happened several months ago. Miller said it did not constitute sexual harassment and no complaints of harassment by Goodman were made during his time in the House.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, which it would be pointless to link because the site is paywalled, the "person" Goodman had his consensual interaction with was a dude. Wes Goodman is staunchly anti-LGBT, and a highly outspoken advocate of Christian conservative family values. His wife is an assistant director of a prominent anti-abortion group.
