Church has its finger in State's butt...

Free Senator Larry Craig!

It's taken me quite a while to address this issue, NOT because I haven't been paying attention but because everytime I read a story about it I keep saying to myself, "Okay, THIS story's gonna tell me what the actual CRIME was."

I have yet to hear what this man did that was illegal. He didn't proposition a minor, he didn't offer money in exchange for a mustachioed blow job, he didn't get methed out and order a male prostitute to his hotel room. All he did was a little inter-stall tap dance with an undercover cop hoping to find another closetted homo, and that adds up to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct according to this story.

I guess in Minnessota, it's illegal for a man to hit on another man in the privacy of his own airport toilet stall. So, there's a task force out there, who's sole purpose is to root out these closet cases that attempt to have consensual sex with each other. Nice use of tax payers money. That undercover cop should be granted a medal and promoted to captain. We're clearing out the bad guys!

Should our taxes go to maintaining the 100's of bridges in the greater Minneappolis area? You know, like the one that collaped just 7 weeks after this Craig incident occured? No. We got queers in our toilets and we want 'em exposed! Gay men using the very same bathrooms where I fart, shit and piss. The same bathrooms that our sons go in... to fart, shit and piss. How arousing.

He got hit with disorderly conduct for sticking his foot under somebody's stall. National exposure for trying to be as discreet as possible in his sexual tendencies; not illegal. Ordering a male prostitute, illegal. No matter how ridiculous it is. Sticking your foot under somebody's stall - uncomfortable for those uninterested in blowing a guy after they shit, good signs of good times for the gentlemen who ARE bathroom sex inclined - deserves an apology at most. Not a misdemeanor.

So where do we draw the line? Where do uncomfortable advances become disorderly conduct? I've been pissing with two open urinals next to me and had the guy come and choose the one right by me. Totally opting out of the traditional "If there's two available, skip a urinal" rule. Is that code for "you want a handjob?" Yes, I'm uncomfortable, but can I make a citizens arrest? Is there some law saying that anytime my heterosexuality is in the least bit challenged I should take legal action? Or can I just say "What the fuck dude?" and finish up my bathroom activities unharmed and still loving boobs.

Maybe they're just worried more people will choose the pink path of queeriness if presented the oportunity so they need policemen to intervene and remind everyone to "Just say Nay to Gay!"

That's bullshit.

Now this guy has a misdemeanor charge for acting totally within his rights to pursue men, of legal age, in a consentual manner, to cheat on his wife with. Is it moral? Not to most. Illegal? I didn't think so but, apparently in Minn. it is.

So consider yourselves warned gays! There's what seems to be a witchhunt after ya'll. Not only are these religious politicians trying to fuck you out of marital and military rights, but apparently they're also just trying to plain old fuck you. So I guess to practice your natural tendencies you're gonna need to do the same thing the rest of us do when we try to score drugs.

"I noticed you across the room? Are you a cop? You have to tell me. I have a lawyer. No? Okay then... You're cute. Can I buy you a drink..?"

Now for some reason the entire Republican Party is worried about how to act on this issue. Do you condemn the man that proclaims "I'm not gay!" for his homosexual actions and come off like a party of bigots? Or do you ignore the actions opening yourselves up for scrutiny from within the party of inaction? What to do?

Nothing. It's none of your fucking business. It's between, Larry Craig, his wife, whatever boy toy he's keeping on the side, and the progessive state of Minnesota that is abusing it's resources to root out the queers.

It's a non-issue. It's a religious attack on a man that's done nothing illegal. This airport is SUPER busy. I've gotta go take a shit.
