The most serious finding by the Statesman was the report by a professional man with close ties to Republican officials. The 40-year-old man reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington's Union Station, probably in 2004. The Statesman also spoke with a man who said Craig made a sexual advance toward him at the University of Idaho in 1967 and a man who said Craig "cruised" him for sex in 1994 at the REI store in Boise. The Statesman also explored dozens of allegations that proved untrue, unclear or unverifiable.
 
 Well, be careful with the fooot-tapping in Union Station AT LEAST.

I have it on good authority that foot tapping is old school gay cruising.  It's all about online hookups now.

From http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070829/ap_on_re_us/craig_gay_reaction :

 "My sense is that most of the people who engage in bathroom sex are living closeted lives," Foreman [Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force] said. "If you're open, you can hook up on line, in a bar or even through your church."
 
 William Leap, an anthropology professor at American University, said his research indicated that up to half of those who engage in male bathroom sex would consider themselves heterosexual.
 
 "You've got several groups of folks," he said. "Happily married men with children who enjoy having sex with men every so often, and also self-identified gay men who enjoy the thrill of anonymous sex."

Well, if the part about him pulling out his U.S. Senate card on the officer and saying, "What do you think of that?" is true...it makes one wonder if he's done that before to try to get out of hot water.

What would you guys consider to be worse?  Crusing for gay sex in an airport bathroom, or throwing a tantrum and physically assulting a baggage employee because your flight is delayed?

[nkotb]

Is the assaulting offender lobbying hard for strict anti-assaulting laws in an attempt to cover up his/her own hidden love of assaulting?

I'm not sure what his stance on gay marriage has to do with anything.
 
 Personally, I'm in favor of government recognition of gay marriage, and for churches to have the freedom to be for or against it.
 
 However, I can understand the opinion of those who say that marriage is and should remain a heterosexual institution.

True - I haven't even started attacking his record in Congress yet.  How he voted for the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act and, in 2006, voted to cut off debate on a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. He also voted against a 1996 bill prohibiting employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, which failed by one vote in the Senate.
 
 But you're right, I have stuck mostly with pointing out how absurd his rebuttal has been. [/b]

So you read page one of this thread too? How observant!

  I heard back in 1996 that he was gay. And that whole foot-tapping thing is old school gay cruising. Clearly he needs to get on Craigslist. No irony in the name there either.

No but he does represent the party that touts itself as being more pro-woman AND pro-union worker, just as the gay sex guy represents the party that touts itself as being more pro-morals.  But I guess battering female union workers is less exciting than soliciting gay sex.

seriously?  you see no hypocricy in engaging in gay sex on the one hand, and having an anti-gay track record?  none?

I am totally cool with gay people and I do not oppose government recognition of gay marriage...but as for this guy being against them, I understand your point...wouldn't gay marriage take the excitement out of his gay bathroom encounters?

Are alot of your best friends black, too?

[nkotb]

Admittedly, I didn't look at your link and assumed it was about Cynthia McKinney.  You do bring up a valid point.
 
 For the record, I do think that this shouldn't be a big deal because of his political affiliation, and shouldn't be taken as anything other than a repressed, self-loathing gay man being busted for hypocritical behavior.  He's certainly not lied any more or less than most other politicians.

I bet Hillary Clinton and tons of other Democrats who are against gay marriage wouldn't refer to themselves as "anti-gay".

maybe, i've never asked or read anything one way or another.
 
 but unlike craig, hillary doesn't court and align herself with right-wing religious conservatives who are openly anti-gay.  and then go old-school cruising for gay sex in public restrooms.
