Oh for crying out loud...not another gay conservative?

Is there some unwritten, or perhaps written, law stating that people getting pinched for soliciting gay prostitution, or unwanted gay advances have to be Republicans and or clergy? Is there something about Republicans that makes them more prone to turn "gay"? All the Democrats I know of are either straight or gay and have no problem with either. Only the conservatives seem to be flip-floppers on their own sexual orientation.

Look if you are a gay Republican then just accept it and be done with it. God made you that way for a reason, perhaps to embarrass hypocrites, or maybe he has slated you to burn in hell. Or maybe he just made you that way "just because" and wants you to make the best of it and enjoy your wonderful life for what it is. Don't insult God by trying to be something you are not.

Now on to my own self flagellation. This is a STUPID story. What is the guy guilty of? I mean really guilty of, if it is true? Wanting some consensual sex in a bathroom. So the guy has to resign? This is absurd. Let him and his local constituents talk it out and then let him be. I love the hypocrisy angle but this, like Monica, does not rise to the level of an offense worthy of anything other than and embarrassed "excuse me".

Mr. Craig do not resign over this. If you have lived a double life for 60 plus years then you have already lived in hell. If you are telling the truth then stick to your guns. But the homophobes on the right, and the democrats on the left want you gone for their own narrow reasons. I do not agree with any of your positions on gay rights. However I also would not wish you to be forced from office because of such a silly bit of nonsense.
