This time, it’s in Indiana. Meet state representative Phillip Hinkle, who voted with his anti-gay compatriots to ban marriage equality in that state. Here’s what he does in his spare time:
Indiana state Rep. Phillip Hinkle (R) is embroiled in controversy after The Indianapolis Star discovered emails appearing to solicit the paid company of a young man, sent from Hinkle’s publicly listed email address.
In response to a M4M forum Craigslist post, Hinkle emailed the man, named Kameryn Gibson, and offered him $80 cash, with a tip of $50 or $60 “for a really good time” in the hours he proposed spending together at a local Marriott.
Gibson, whose ad lists him as 20 years old but is actually 18, said he met Hinkle at the hotel, and tried to leave when Hinkle said he was a state politician.
He said the lawmaker at first told him he could not leave, grabbed him in the rear, exposed himself to the young man and then later gave him an iPad, BlackBerry cellphone and $100 cash to keep quiet.
That same link goes to the Indianapolis Star, where they have reprinted the e-mails between Hinkle and Gibson. Here’s Hinkle’s original response to Gibson’s ad:
“Cannot be a long time sugar daddy,” the email reads, “but can for tonight. Would you be interested in keeping me company for a while tonight?”
The email offers “to make it worth (your) while” in cash, and offers a personal description: “I am an in shape married professional, 5’8″, fit 170 lbs, and love getting and staying naked.”
Fifteen minutes later, Kameryn Gibson replied: “Yes I can!” He also sent along his phone number.
What followed was an email exchange between phinkle46 @comcast.net and Kameryn Gibson. One email from Hinkle’s account asks “what will make you happy for giving me a couple hours of your time tonight?”
Gibson: “Wat (sic) can you give me?”
Phinkle46 @comcast.net: “How about $80 for services rendered and if real satisfied a healthy tip? That make it worth while?”
And on and on and on. So, let’s see…anti-gay male politician solicits young man for sex over internet, gets caught…
We’ll just file this under “typical stories involving anti-gay Republicans.”
In the immortal words of the appropriately-named band Queen, “Another One Bites the Dust.”
roflol ><
Yeah, another uncomfortable weekend for a bigot. I feel sorry for his beard (=wife) and whiskers(=children)….
This is starting to get a little pathetic.
When is Michele Bachmann’s husband going to come out of the closet ?
I feel so sorry for this man’s family, but the hypocrite himself. When will these idiots learn that sooner or later, they’re going to get caught? Pathetic.
That should read “But NOT the hypocrite…”
Maybe I’m just a thick Brit but I can’t understand the mentality of a gay person voting to make/keep life harder for themselves.
We have a saying over here ‘cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face’.
If gay marriage was legal, then Mr Hinkle would have found fulfilment in a marriage and family with a member of his own gender instead of having to haunt the seedier sides of life afraid of being true to himself incase anyone finds out.
Hell, no one is offering me an IPad, LOL.
I, for one, am completely SHOCKED…that he wasn’t outed sooner.
“…sent from Hinkle’s publicly listed email address.”
Are all politicians really this dumb when they use the internet, or only when they’re horny?
Why haven’t I seen this all over the news, is it a state secret or something. I hope he goes down in flames but first he should be forced to out Marcus Bachmann and the rest of his little late night party host’s and their boy toys. Thank goodness for hot boy toys for getting these hateful GOP creeps out in the open for all to see.
Silly Wabbit tricks or for closeted Republicans!Haha!
Oh boy, let’s see….I have to keep a log of these guys. Maybe I should buy one of those gate clickers do I can keep the count! They are coming so fast! I love this….another REPUBLICAN….what a******s!
A complete Republican fool strikes again.
But what really blows the lid off this is hinkle giving the hustler his Blackberry cell phone to keep him quiet for grabbing him to stay, and the hustlers sister later calling Hinkles wife on Hinkles cell phone and telling her her politician Hubby is gay. And the wife offered $10k to try and keep the hustlers sister quiet. My God, it’s so pathetic it’s not even worthy of good porn script.
@Sarah, the man is 64. Back then, we were taught to fear our gayness and many of us did so by marrying, having children and leading “normal” lives. I can understand this closeted politician voting against gay marriage as part of his cover. In addition, many gay men of that age don’t believe in same-sex marriage, odd as that may seem. I do, but I know a number who don’t. One can be for gay rights on all other fronts but not for SSM. The elder gay men I know who feel that way believe civil unions should suffice. I hasten to add that I do not feel that way.
Doesn’t surprise me a bit. Dirty old man living out his fantasies because he thinks he’s entitled to play around & hide behind his political office in safety. I hope they incarcerate him after they kick him out of congress!!!!!
God, I love this. So another “anti-gay” nuthead got caught. It doesn’t get any better than this.

From the Raw Story link supplied above: “Later, Hinkle himself called the phone, and Megan Gibson [sister of the young man propositioned and bribed] told him that she’d spoken to his wife and said he was gay.
“You’ve ruined me,” the lawmaker said.”
Correction, Mr. Hinkle. You’ve ruined yourself. You have no one else to blame.

meanwhile, on an unrelated note, in order to avoid confusion with the other Brian who posted above and is not me, my future posts will be named OldBaldGuy, a name I use when commenting on another blog. I’m sure there are other old bald guys around, but maybe not as happy about it as I am!
Damn, and Bill Maher won’t be back until September 16th. I guess we’ll have to rely on Jon Stewart to do this story justice. >:)
Abel, I agree, he is from another time and he obviously doesn’t (or didn’t; ha-ha!) want to abandon his life as a lawmaker and family man to pursue another at this point. What makes him evil is that he is working to perpetuate the society that did not give him the choice to live his life however he may have wished.
