And so today we find that Larry Craig is still guilty! Big surprise. His lawyer announced he is dropping his appeal to the state Supreme Court and throwing in the towel.
So what does this mean? Not much for most folks, but for former Minnesota Senator Craig it means he will have to live with the conviction and some day come to terms with his sexuality. Or maybe he can just live in that land of make believe most Republicans inhabit?
Craig was seeking "public bathroom sex" which is a pretty good indicator in my book that he has a real sexuality struggle going on. I know a lot of people whose first homosexual encounters were in public bathrooms. Not a very good spot for developing a healthy attitude toward sexuality.
Now I also know guys who like this kind of sex because its kinky and risky. The big problem with this is, a lot of folks just go to the bathroom to "go to the bathroom"! This means they could stumble upon a couple of guys going at it and that puts it squarely in the category of non-consensual space. I have a real problem with that.
If Larry Craig is one of those guys, more power to him, but he needs to get his kicks in a consensual space not the airport bathroom. I suspect that is not the case. Craig is just a self hating gay man trapped in a straight life. Sad but it could be remedied by one simple step. COME OUT!
End of rant.
