Anti-gay GOP senator caught posting nude photos on the gay dating site, Grindr

http://deadstate.org/anti-gay-gop-senator-caught-posting-photos-on-the-gay-hook-up-site-grindr/

That was Puerto Rico’s GOP senator Roberto Arango’s excuse as to why images of his naked ass showed up on the gay dating app, Grindr.

Published photos from the application show “a man’s nude upper body with a cell phone obscuring his face,” and another showing “a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees.”

According to the Washington Post, the face in the photo seemed to match Arango’s, and the man in the photo was also wearing Arango’s trademark necklace.

Arango has opposed adoption rights for gay people and same-sex marriage, voting for Resolution 99, a proposal that would block any attempt to permit same-sex marriages in Puerto Rico.


Technically, he isn't a repuke -- he's a member of a pro-statehood party that is aligned with the repukes -- but still,

With the increasing acceptance of same sex relationships, I hope the day is coming soon when men and women no longer have to pretend to be straight or mask their identities because of fear, shame, or self-hatred. I've read too many stories, talked to too many men and women, who have adopted a straight persona to hide themselves. They've married perfectly nice women and men, condemning both parties to a hell of self-doubt and recriminations and breaking families when the charade could no longer be sustained.

Make.me feel sad and confused. I wish i felt like gloating or saying in your face but it just leaves me flat and depleted.

Hope he comes to grips with his real self and finds peace. He could help so many others have a better life if he came around. Hypocrisy sux.

I have reservations about outing anybody even hypocrites. Glad he could make the leap. It takes courage. Hope he now votes his conscience.

He meant to send these pictures to his wife, but he was hacked. The hacker took the photos and posted them on the gay dating website to further the gay agenda.
