An anti-gay Indiana Republican state lawmaker has been caught in a gay sex scandal, accused of offering an 18-year-old male cash for “a really good time.”
State Rep. Phillip Hinkle, who recently voted in favor of a state constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage, responded to a local posting on Craigslist and offered the young man $80 plus tip to spend time with him Saturday night at the JW Marriott hotel, according to an email exchange provided to The Indianapolis Star.
Phillip Hinkle
The emails, sent from Hinkle’s publicly listed personal address, ask the young man for “a couple hours of your time tonight” and offer him cash up front, with a tip of up to $50 or $60 “for a really good time.”The email exchange is in response to the Craigslist posting in which the young man — who lists his age as 20 in the ad but says he is 18 years old — says, “I need a sugga daddy.”
The young man told The Star that they met, but that he tried to leave after the man told him he was a state lawmaker. 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.
The young man, Kameryn Gibson, told the Star he posted the Craigslist ad in the “Casual Encounters” section under “m4m,” which is shorthand for men for men.
The Craigslist ad was posted at 7:37 a.m. Saturday. The ad shows two pictures of Kameryn Gibson, shirtless with pants pulled below the top of his underwear.
The ad’s text features one written line: “Email me and I’ll tell you everything you need to know!”
Forty-seven minutes later, he received a response from phinkle46 @comcast.net, with the email signature “Sent from Phil’s iPad.”
“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 said that Hinkle picked him up and took him to the hotel. Gibson said he was given a room key and instructed to go into the hotel first, because they couldn’t be seen together.
Once Hinkle arrived at the room, Gibson said Hinkle told him he was a lawmaker and showed him his identification card.
Gibson said that when he got cold feet and tried to leave, Hinkle tried stopped him.
Gibson excused himself to the bathroom. There, he called his sister Megan. She said she would come get him immediately.
When Gibson came out, he said Hinkle told him he couldn’t leave. Gibson called his sister again. This time, Megan told him to put her on speakerphone.
“I started cussing him,” Megan told The Star. She also threatened to call the police and the local media.
Kameryn and Megan Gibson said Hinkle then offered his iPad, a BlackBerry and $100 in cash.
On the drive home, Megan Gibson said she began receiving phone calls on Hinkle’s BlackBerry, including one from a woman who identified herself as Hinkle’s wife.
“I was like, ‘Your husband is gay,’” Megan told the caller.
Hinkle, 64, is married, Catholic and has been a member of Indiana House of Representatives 92nd District since 2000.

Beware of those who holler the louder. Remember: “Me thinks thou doest protest too much”?
Poor closet case… LOL :)

Hmm. I wonder why a man who is apparently attracted to men would be against gay marriage. It doesn’t seem to make any sense . . . of course he is married. I sort of have to feel a little sorry for him, living a lie and being scared all the time. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but still, he’s leading a tough life.
Lol that’s what he gets
The guilty dog barks the loudest…
Time to add him to the list of others.
Surprise (NOT)!!
I love a good “toe-tapping” scandal…
I love it when this happens. Politics is like the hypocrite olympics.

Oh course. Surprised anyone ?

I lost most of my long time friends and nearly all my family by getting divorced and coming out 7yrs ago. The ignorance around me at that time shell-shocked me but it was esier than lying to myself. I’m sorry but I just don’t get people like him. :/

OOOOOOHHHHH. . . . I love a good ANTI – GAY – COMMING OUT SCANDAL . . . .
What else is new? XD
Of course.
Those jerks are giving gay people a bad name. This is same shit different day, the others just haven’t been caught yet. Jerks.
I can’t believe that he would send them from his person public email address that seems kind of ~stupid.
Woooooow.
Seriously? Another conservative republican closet case getting caught. The truth always comes out.
The “Antigay”people jumping up and down the loudest are usually the closeted queens. Next is Bachmann,,,,Come out, come out wherever you are.
ROFL
maybe they should just start calling themselves the “Gay Old Party”… Sorry, old joke.
I’m beginning to think that any male in a top leadership position, who is extremely anti-gay, is more than likely gay themselves.
Homophobes are pathetic squared. It’s the not knowing yourself that is the hardest part. They can even fool themselves into believing that they are just messing around and who cares what gender it is, but they always wind up telling on themselves. I wore those same pathetic shoes until I was 24.
This was a very entertaining read. It amazes me how homofobic closet homosexuals can be. Come on… Poke ur chest out & let ur pride release…. & some how I knew he was catholic
Lol that’s great. Who would have guessed a politician being stupid? Send some videos next time Einstein.
jajajaja Omg….That’s so funny
Unbelieveable! He only voted against it so he wouldn’t get outted. Not to mention, LOOK AT HIM! Of course he’s gonna have to pay, but $80? No wonder the other guy turned him in. He should have offered $8000! BASTARD!
The more I see this kind of thing the more I think the ‘haters’ hate us so much is because they are us. Which is kinda weird. And also pretty sad – for them.
lmao
they should see a it gets better video…..just come out dude
So tired of these homophobic gay hypocrites. They are as bad if not worse than the straight ones.
Looool What happens when u go Anti-gay, You always cock up :D
The Haters don’t hate you – they hate themselves. They secretly envy openly gay people because they don’t have to lie to themselves, to the public & the families they’ve made and eventually will destroy.
What a surprise.
hahahahahahahaha douche hahahahahahaha :D
wow…How ironic. Don’t ya think?
its always the anti gay ones that get caught doing the same thing they hate others for all it is is hate for themselves cuz they not confident with their sexuality
And just think this jerk gets full pension for the rest of his life…..we the people….those people are so full of it.
Ha ha ha ha, and I would also like to add, HA!
And does this REALLY surprise any of us? LMAO
I’m truly shocked.
Credibility? what Credibility? RESIGN NOW YOU TWO FACED PRICK!
republicans will just kick this man to the curve and add his homosexual acts to the reason why gays ruin straight marriage.
Haven’t heard this before (sarcasm intended). When will political influence be recalled for this reoccuring flaw in our system? These people have no place making laws for or against the LGBTQ community…
Ladybird (Marcus) Bachmann is next.
I feel bad for his family.
So pathetically not surprising at all…
The faces change but the story stays the same. Give us our civil rights already! these are the people who are delaying the process!
Typical Republican hypocrite. These fuckers give the rest of us (gay men) a bad name. I try to never use the the word “hate”, but I really “hate” this kind of man. My visceral feeling is, I would like to punch him in his smug face.
Anti-gay Republicans all hate the thing that gives them the biggest boner.
Molly, you seem, of all the commenters, to be the only one who understands the tragedy this guy is in the grip of.
I respectfully disagree on the perspective of where the tragedy is in this story. The tragedy of this story does not lay with the Congressman being married and living his life as a lie. The tragedy is that THIS MAN IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO HAS A SAY IN SPREADING SOME ANTI-GAY AGENDA. How dare he vote to keep others from getting married based off of sexual orientation when he himself CLEARLY has issues? It’s offensive that these people are in office and can banter on about “what is right” and then look at their actions. You wanna go meet men at some hotel, thats your business, you wanna do that and expect me to “understand and respect you” when you vote against gay marriage? What a joke.
