Gay pick up behavior is held to a different legal standard than heterosexual behavior.

Just don’t scare the horses.

Gay pick up behavior is held to a different legal standard than heterosexual behavior.

Especially for gay Republicans.  Barney Frank faced no penalty for having his young gay “companion” using his home for homosexual prostitution purposes.  That would have been a felony if a gay Republican had done it.

As a lefty, I find what Craig did appalling. No two persons should have sex in public areas, including straight people. What I as a lefty dislike is his hypocrisy. He votes against the gay agenda and allighns
himself with the folks who dislike gays. At the same time he is out doing his thing in public bathrooms.

What’s the agenda?

...and allighns

Democrats.

So, he has no choice?  How totalitarian of you.

To repeat for the willfully ignorant: While he was accused of sex crimes(none of which involved “doing his thing”, btw), he was convicted, through voluntary confession, only of “disorderly conduct”, which is a misdemeanor, and not a sex crime.  The cops did this voluntarily, even though he didn’t have a lawyer present to represent him.  That should tell you something.

Hey, being a hypocrite and being morally weak are two separate things.

If Craig were a hypocrite he’d advocate against homosexuality while privately thinking it’s really ok.  Being weak means advocating against something you think is morally wrong but privately have a personal failing and engaging in it.

(Again, I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong with being gay.)

Rob-- I have to admit that your point about hypocrite or weak is a good one. I never thought about it like that.

I think of it like this:

I don’t think being fat is healthy.  I wouldn’t want my daughter to be fat.  Unfortunately, I am fat, and I am that way because I have a weakness for overeating.  And I don’t get enough exercise.

But just because I’m fat doesn’t mean I think being fat is ok.

Will you marry me?

Not sure if that was a serious offer or not, but sorry sweetheart.  I’m already hitched.

I think he copped to the lesser charge because he flipped out on the cop and went into a Mel Gibson moment about gays. This story just don’t add up any other way.

This story just don’t add up any other way.

Sure it does; it’s normal police practice to overcharge to frighten and intimidate the suspect into a confession, which is easier than having them be made fools of in court.  They get an arrest, and can act as if they did something good.  They knew they had nothing on him, and tried to play him into confessing to something before he came to his senses and called a lawyer.  They probably threatened him with the destruction of his career, knowing that even an accusation of sex crimes would ruin him.  They were right.

What horseshit, 108.  Sen. Craig showed the cop his business card; normally cops try to intimidate only poor, minority folks.

Rob, totally joking, dude.  But I do like your style.

I’ve written this several times before. Here it is again:

I think it’s almost indisputable that--if the officer’s facts are correct--Larry Craig was guilty of the more serious charge of interference with privacy, a gross misdemeanor. Minnesota law states:

“Interference With Privacy: A person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor who (...) surreptitiously gazes, stares, or peeps (...) (in a) place where a reasonable person would have an expectation of privacy and has exposed or is likely to expose their intimate parts (...) and does so with intent to intrude upon or interfere with the privacy of the occupant.”
.” (MN 609.746)

The police officer’s report states:

“I entered the men’s restroom and proceeded to an unoccupied stall in the back of the restroom. (...) At 1213 hours, I could see an older white male with grey hair (i.e., Larry Craig) standing outside my stall. I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, fidget with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. (...) I was able to see Craig’s blue eyes as he looked into my stall.”

If the officer’s account is based in fact, Craig is guilty of interference with privacy, a gross misdemanor. Hence, he should have been arrested.

But davey, ain’t it a gross misdemeanor to murder a helpless human?
