Gay Senator and Porn Star Do Dinner 

State Senator Paul Koering made headlines when he became Minnesota's first gay Republican to hold elected office. Now, he's in the press for taking a 20-year-old gay porn star out for dinner.

Koering dined with porn star Brandon Wilde on Sunday night at Iven's on the Bay restaurant in Brainerd, Minn. The two dined on strip steak and beef medallions, according to The Sword.

Wilde tweeted about their date that evening: "lol so funny!! in 45 mins im going 2 dinner with the senator :)."

Koering talked to The Sword about their date Tuesday morning.

"I don't see anything wrong with going out with him. Do I think that being a porn star is the best thing? No. But that's his choice. I think he's a nice guy."
