Louisiana Republican Mike Yenni: "I mean, it was just...it was a stupid action. I'm not gay.""

Louisiana Republican admits to sexting teen boy and buying him sexy underwear but says ‘I’m not gay’

“I can’t explain why I did it,” the married, 40-year-old Yenni told New Orleans’ Fox 8 News. He maintained that many of the details revealed in a 2015 blog post by the boy about the affair were false and that he never had sexual contact with the teen beyond kissing, nor was he grooming the boy for a sexual relationship.

“I can’t…I really can’t answer it,” said Yenni. “I mean, it was just…it was a stupid action. It was a stupid action to even get into this form of text messaging. It was something…something that I can’t explain why I did it.”

Yenni met the boy at a Jesuit High School function. They began to exchange sexually charged messages. Yenni visited the boy at his job at a local mall and presented him with a pair of underwear. They kissed, but Yenni insists that was their only contact, which was not illegal because the age of consent for boys in Louisiana is 17.

“I’m not gay,” Yenni replied.

But not that he went after a teen or cheated on his wife.

You know why ? Just like vitter and trump they are just fine with it if it's a female.

"The worst things for a politician is finding a dead woman in his bed or live man." Little has changed.

Of course, I don't know if this person is gay or not, people always seem to forget their is such an identity as "bi" and there are those "chance" encounters which have little to do with one's sexual orientation.
