Michigan State Rep. Bryan Posthumus, a Republican known for his anti-LGBTQ+ stance and “traditional family values,” is alleged to have had an Ashley Madison account and profiles on two other adult websites. Leaked data reportedly links Posthumus to these sites, including the use of his personal email and credit card information, during a time when he was married. While the Detroit Metro Times reported this information, Posthumus’ lawyer has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them false.
