We may want to think he resigned because he could finally see where he was wrong and how he should not have tried to ruin other people’s lives. In reality, however, he is just a hypocrite and apparently a cheater.
As he was caught having sex with a man, cheating on your partner is bad enough. What puts the cherry on the top is the fact that he was also an Anti-LGBT Lawmaker.
"In a statement, Rosenberger stated, “I was alerted to details yesterday afternoon regarding his involvement in inappropriate behavior related to his state office.”
He continued, “I met with him later in the day where he acknowledged and confirmed the allegations."— Ed Hunter (@EdwardJWHunter) November 17, 2017
Rosenberger later confronted him about his ‘inappropriate behavior’ which led Goodman to resign officially.

Brad Miller, Rosenberger’s spokesman, explains that the ‘interaction’ was wholly consensual and it didn’t indicate any kind of sexual harassment.
Rep. Wes Goodman, who was endorsed by anti-LGBT PACs like
Citizens for Community Values, Ohio's Family First and Ohio Citizens, resigned after consensual "inappropriate behavior" with a man in his office. He's married. https://t.co/L2MHqwXkSk— Rebecca Reis (@rebareis) November 16, 2017
"It became clear that his resignation was the most appropriate course of action for him, his family, the constituents of the 87th House District and this institution.”
Some insiders claim there is a video of the incident."

Ah, yes, @WesleyGoodman. It's all about "natural marriage" until you get busted having sex with another man. Then it's all about respecting your privacy.

His campaign is literally about bashing the LGBT community and promoting ‘strong Christian values’. It has since been removed.
Healthy, vibrant, thriving, values-driven families are the source of Ohio’s proud history and the key to Ohio’s future greatness.
The ideals of a loving father and mother, a committed natural marriage, and a caring community are well worth pursuing and protecting.
"However, the spokesman for Rosenberger denied that allegation. There are no charges of harassment or abuse that were filed against Goodman.
In a statement by Goodman, he said, “We all bring our own struggles and our own trials into public life." "

" "As I move onto the next chapter of my life, I sincerely ask for privacy for myself, my family, and my friends.”
Goodman’s resignation comes less than a month after the resignation of Sen. Cliff Hite (R) after complaints of sexual harassment."

He has, however, issued an apology and wanted privacy for him and his family. I don’t think that apology is going to do him any good.
