When I keep telling readers the Indiana's largest problem with their lack of LGBT right legislation is the large percentage of conservatives who are hiding their own sexual peccadilloes by using our community as a scapegoat for their own religious shame, I know what I'm talking about. Earlier this year I put out a call for information that would expose some of these hypocrites who voted anti-gay but had their own sexual skeletons in the closet.

While I exposed state representative Jud McMillin's tortured past earlier in early March, including sending unwanted photos of the himself masturbating with his balls tied to an office chair leg to a domestic abuse victim he was supposed to be representing as a deputy prosecutor, several juicy tips came in that just weren't verifiable enough for me to feel comfortable printing the story.

One of the most frequently e-mailed subjects was Republican representative Phil Hinkle. While none of my correspondents could provide any actual proof, three different men told me they had met Rep Hinkle for sex in an Indianapolis hotel room. All three were able to describe Rep Hinkle's penis in detail and all three descriptions matched, but it just dint' seem like enough for me to print the allegations.

Now the Indianapolis Star has been given the smoking gun. In a story running this morning, the Star has seen proof that the long-serving legislator offered a teenage boy $80 for sex after finding the young man on Craigslist and they've printed the salacious details.

More after the break.
