Thoughts on Craig Resignation

First, let's be clear. I don't give a shit if the guy is gay or not. People's sexuality is their own thing and should not be governed in any way unless they are hurting others. With that caveat, there are a few thing about this past week's events that have me asking a few questions.

1. Why are gays being targeted for engaging in cruising and the result of that cruising in Minneapolis? Why aren't we outraged like we would be if this were about racial profiling? Supposedly, the airport restroom is being investigated due to complaints about the gay sex. What if it were straight sex?

2. I can't help, but wonder who is complaining and what is their motivation? My guess is that some of these men (since it is a men's restroom) are whining because they don't understand the casual need or is some deep down frustration and jealousy that they themselves were not cruised?

3. The cops think that Craig lied about not cruising. Let's just agree to disagree for a moment and he had come out of the closet (wouldn't that be more delicious?). Doesn't the LGBT community deserve to be represented, too? Are there no gays in Idaho or are they deep in the closet? Is Idaho so conservative that they would reject a gay senator who has voted on their behalf and upholding their beliefs? Why aren't we more offended and upset that we have allowed this gay-bashing and allowed for this man to be swept back in the closet? We should be mad as hell! Why can't we stand up for our fellow Americans no matter what their sexual orientation?
