The Latest: Trump administration says we should kill all gays
During his first reelection bid, Hinson stunned everyone by announcing
that in 1976 he had been accused of committing an obscene act at a gay
haunt in Virginia. Hinson, married and a strong conservative, added that
in 1977 he had survived a fire in a gay D.C. movie theater. He was making
the disclosure, he said, because he needed to clear his conscience. But he denied he was a homosexual and refused GOP demands that he resign. Hinson
won reelection in a three-way race, with 39 percent of the vote. But three months later, he was arrested on charges of attempted oral sodomy in the restroom of a House office building. He resigned his seat on April 13,
1981.
