Sen. Larry "Toe Tapper" Craig (R-ID) is apparently going to have to take his guilty plea sitting down.
Sorry.
His pal, Mike Crapo ...
Sorry again ...
says he's looking forward to working with his #1 boy ...
dammit ... sorry ...
while he works through his "legal battles."
Legal battle? Is that what we're calling not getting a BJ now.
Ok, I don't speak for all gay men, and who would want to. It would make such a hiss all of us at once, but I can certainly speak for myself.
I would like it very much if gay men would stop winking at the act of seeking out sex in public rest rooms as though it's some sort of sacred cultural thing. Let's get something strai- er ... clear ... it's not.
Mea Culpa. I've done it.
Yes, I've sat on that cold, lemony chair with the stench of nitrous in my dizzy brain waiting for someone ... anyone to think I was attractive enough to touch. And I don't live in shame because of it, the 4th and 5th step took care of that. But that doesn't make it "normal." Because I was there, I can say with relative certainty that I've met a pretty good sample of who's hiding out in stalls 4 and 6 waiting for the fat guy and his kids to leave. They are, almost to a man, either closeted ... or they have some mental disorder that prevents them from having normal relationships and probably sexual or otherwise. And I would guess that most of them are the former.
That's right. Most of them. Think about that. Most of the gay men who leave a public restroom without flushing the toilet are there because for whatever reason they don't feel they can be honest about who they are.
George Michaels wasn't out to the general public. So for him to be seen in the Atlanta terminal with a man on his arm pre-lav would have been a shock to his career that he must not have felt he could have negotiated. He's out now! And my guess is that you could sit in the rest stop on I-75 for a year and you will never see him come in tap dancing. Because he doesn't have to anymore.
But mostly it's guys with wives, guys with christian parents, guys with a brother who also happens to be a republican Navy Seal, or guys that just look in the mirror and absolutely despise what they see.
This gay guy does not think it's "ok" to troll for someone with as little self esteem to have sex with in any public forum where children could appear at any moment, or even an adult who might take offense to sex happening 2 and a half feet away while they have to sit with their pants down.
And I can certainly attest that no one in my social circle thinks its ok, either. Oh we talk about it. Because to not talk about it would be a lie. And every single one of us would have to admit ... we did it ...
BECAUSE WE WERE ... NOT ... OUT ... AND WE NEVER HAD ... BEEN OUT.
Incase my husband reads this ... love ya honey. See you tonight ... in our bed. Where it's normal.
