On this date in 2014, “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” profiled Roy Ashburn, a former California State Senator with a long history of voting against LGBTQ rights legislation, as well as supporting Proposition 8 and voting against a Harvey Milk Holiday. Ashburn's career came undone when he got busted for DUI back in 2010... on his way out of a gay bar with an anonymous guy he picked up there that night. Ashburn has since vanished from the political scene.
In 2015, 2016, 2017, as well as 2018, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" profiled North Dakota state legislator Randy Boehning, whose story hit the news wire, and caused us to sit in disbelief, and re-read the story several times to make sure it wasn’t a parody from The Onion. Randy Boehning, member of the North Dakota House of Representatives. Randy Boehning. RANDY BOEHNING. If there ever was a name destined to be involved in gay pornography, it was Randy Boehning. But Randy Boehning, an anti-gay Republican state legislator, was outed as gay because he was using the Grindr App to find gay dudes to hook up with, and someone decided to expose him because he's leading a hypocritical double life by sharing his own submitted nude photos to whoever would listen.
Boehning *snicker* was first elected back in 2002, and had a career with plenty of anti-choice, pro-gun and of course, hypocritically, anti-LGBTQ legislation. We’re thrilled to report that finally, in 2018, Randy Boehning’s career as a determined hypocrite came to an end. We would now like to wish him our heartiest “goood riddance” send offs, and wish him luck finding Mr. Right on Grindr.
