Randy Boehning, a 52-year-old Republican  legislator from Fargo, says a Capitol employee told him a fellow  lawmaker vowed to out him as gay if he continued to vote against bills  granting gays legal protections against discrimination. [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>The exchange came to light when Dustin Smith, a 21-year-old Bismarck  man with no known connections to the Capitol, contacted The Forum of  Fargo-Moorhead earlier this month, saying he recognized Boehning from a  gay dating smartphone app called Grindr. Chatting under the user name  Top Man!, Boehning sent Smith sexually suggestive messages and, in the  early morning hours of March 12, an unsolicited photo of his penis,  according to exchanges reviewed by The Forum.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: blue;\">Smith added, \u201chow can you discriminate against the person you\u2019re  trying to pick up?\u201d Good point, sir! It\u2019s very rude, to want to f%$# the  gays in a good way in your off time, and then go to work the next day  and f%$# the gays in a bad way, by voting against their (AND YOUR OWN)  rights.
