Subject: RE: BS: Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho)- lewd conduct
There is a sad side to this story although it on the surface appears funny. The Republican Authoritarian personality is bound to get caught at something like this. ( Some of you might remember Anita Bryant who spoke so publicly about the "sins" of homosexuality until it was revealed that her husband was gay. ) Instead of compassion for those who seek illicit sexual pleasure on the "Low Down", the authoritarians amoung us like to beat up on homosexuals. This is because they themselves have the urges that lead to social ostracism.

If acceptance of homosexuality as a biological fact instead of a moral issue were in this country, then all of this would just go away. As long as Authoritarian Republicans continue to rail against their own behavior by being little Nazi crusaders about it instead of showing compassion and understanding for the plight of those who have a problem dealing with their sexuality, then more Republicans will be coming out of the closet in droves.

"Methinks thou protesteth too much"...............I think the sad thing is that many Republicans don't get that. It's interesting that those affected are preachers and politicians.
