WHAT WAS THE CRIME? What law did Craig... [View All]

break?

As near as I can figure out, the worst he did was try to hook up with some guy. Why is this illegal, and why is this cause for celebration amongst so many of us?

"But, he's a hypocrite..."

Oh, bullshit. The guy grew up when you stayed in the closet if you knew what was good for you, and old habits die hard. That Schadenfreude of finding some rightwing moralist with his hands in some other guy's pants gets old when you start thinking about the consequences for people you might actually like.

Or, maybe it's just more of the same old homophobia finding a new door cracked open a bit. To many of us straights there still is an "ick" factor in the reality of homosexual relationships and it might seem acceptable to use incidents like this to vent.

It isn't, if we actually believe in gay rights.
