Three things are really bothering me about the "scandal" surrounding the arrest and subsequent guilty plea of Idaho senator Larry Craig... First, nearly every Republican legislator in Washington has called upon Craig to resign. They all shroud these calls under the guise of his guilty plea and the idea that no sitting senator should be convicted of ANY crime and be allowed to keep his seat. In reality, given the generic and vague way that all of these legislators speak of the incident, I have little doubt that most of the GOP is calling on him to resign mainly because they all assume he's gay, and that no sitting senator should be homosexual and be allowed to keep his seat. After all, while 10% of the population is gay, there are no openly gay members of the Senate and only 2 in the House of Representatives. Not exactly a fair representation of America. Second, while I have little doubt that having sex of any kind is illegal in an airport bathroom, last time I checked sexual activity NOT in an airport bathroom or other public place was still legal. Senator Craig didn't have sex with anyone in that bathroom. At "worst," he simply propositioned someone to have sex (with a hand gesture or foot tapping that the undercover police officer claims could ONLY have been a sexual proposition -- huh?). Given that he didn't actually provide verbal details prior to his arrest, it's entirely possible that the sexual activity Senator Craig had in mind (if he actually did) when he made the hand gesture or foot tapping was to occur in a private place. Thus, the activity would have been perfectly legal. Am I to assume from this incident that we all must now restrict all flirting to private residences or face arrest? Third, I am now absolutely TERRIFIED of using airport bathrooms due to fear that there will be an undercover police officer there who will misconstrue some nervous hand gesture or foot tapping that I make while I'm minding my own business and arrest me for lewd conduct. I make hand gestures and tap my feet all the time. I don't intend them to be sexual propositions, but who knows what the anti-gay airport bathroom police think.
