Mary (Sinsull), you're right. Craig's "sin" or "crime" is not that he's gay (if he is).*   What bothers me is that so many in the media are:
a) focusing on the "gay" aspect
b) treating the story as if sleazy men's room hookups with strangers is typical behavior among gays
c) going beyond that to the suggestion that maybe he's a pedophile too.

From what I've seen and read, the only thing Craig did that is or should be illegal was to engage in voyeurism (repeatedly staring through the door cracks into the officer's stall), and that's what he should have been charged with.   He's not even accused of having exposed himself or engaged in a sexual act in a public place.   

If it's illegal to "hit on" someone -- i.e., to say or signal that you want to have sex with them -- then heaven help those who go to singles bars and parties every night and do just that. (I've heard even folkies have been known to make suggestive gestures at each other.)
If tapping someone's foot and waving your hand to say, "Hey, sailor, I'm available" is against the law, that law needs to be changed.


Now, if Sen. Craig deliberately pled guilty to something he knew he didn't do, that may constitute perjury.

As for his being a hypocrite, that's plenty of reason for voters to reject him. But personally I'd rather he stay and face a re-election challenge than let the GOP cherry pick someone to replace him at this point.

*There are heterosexual guys who occasionally engage in sleazy or kinky homosexual behavior as a way of degrading someone else -- or just as a way of being "kinky" -- just as there have been thoroughly racist white guys who would "do" -- even rape -- black women for similar reasons.
