Gay Old Republican Lawmaker Caught With Male Hooker Is 'Not Gay'

Formerly closeted gay Republican lawmaker Phil Hinkle was caught in a hotel with a male gay prostitute earlier this month, which was all obviously some kind of terrible mistake, the way yet another GOP representative (Indiana legislature, this time) has been caught with a rent boy. But now the Republican married straight lawmaker has at least admitted he paid the comely young man $80 for a "good time" but definitely didn't do any gay things.

As often happens with these deluded old queens who think they can continue to be in power evenafterthey're caught soliciting homosexual sex with strangers, Hinkle refuses to resign even though the GOP is trying its lame best to get him out of the way before everybody notices thatalmost every Republican male politicianis a "secret" homosexual.

 The Indy Star reports:  

State Rep. Phil Hinkle admitted Tuesday that he paid a young man $80 to have a good time. But Hinkle insisted he isn't gay and doesn't know why he did it.

Uhh, we know why!Because he is a gay man.And he does it all the time, and everybody in the Republican leadership and his family (including the usual pinch-faced GOP wife) has known for years if not decades that Phil Hinkle is a closeted homosexual who compensates for his self hatred by being a sociopathic Republican politician. What else, Indy Star ? 

Usually he's in control of his actions, he said, but something changed .... Hinkle also said Tuesday he's not a homosexual. "I say that emphatically," he said. "I'm not gay."

Hinkle acknowledged he picked up Kameryn Gibson and drove him to the hotel, giving him $80 in the car. But when they arrived, Hinkle said, they simply made small talk about baseball and the view from the hotel -- nothing further.

"I went to the edge," Hinkle said, "but I didn't fall over the edge."

This is apparently what life is like for the nation'sthousandsof elected Republican self-hating gay men: a constant, pathetic battle to keep from going "over the edge" by having sex with a male hooker. And because nearlyallRepublican men engage in paid sex acts with male prostitutes on a regular basis, they all think this is a normal American struggle, to keep themselves from doing this too often. Because it'swrongto be homosexual, according to the Republican Party ... wrong, but oh so right! [ Indy Star via Wonkette super-operative "Matt N."]
