family values republican - that's an oxmoron for the ages
Mr. Goodman, who is married, promoted “the ideals of a loving father and mother” and “a committed natural marriage” on his campaign website, which has since been taken down. He worked for Jim Jordan, a congressman from Ohio known for his staunch opposition to gay marriage.
A series of reports alleged that for years Mr. Goodman had sought, or engaged in, consensual sexual encounters with men. The Washington Post also reported on an allegation that Mr. Goodman had groped an 18-year-old college student in 2015.
Ohio conservatives had considered Mr. Goodman a rising star, said Tom Zawistowski, president of the conservative Ohio Citizens Political Action Committee, which endorsed Mr. Goodman last year.
The Post, citing letters and emails, reported that conservative leaders knew that Mr. Goodman was accused of touching an 18-year-old in 2015. One of those leaders, Tony Perkins, is the president of the Family Research Council, an advocacy group that says “homosexual conduct” is “by definition unnatural.” He urged Mr. Goodman not to run for office but did not make the allegations public, The Post reported.
