I was gay before I wasn't gay

In a John Kerry-esque flip-flop, Larry Craig - the admitted, and CONVICTED, bathroom prowler is now on the offensive! While trying some silly direct action maneuver to buy him some time, you may find the last sentence of this article of significant interest.

From the site Seattlepi.com via Drugde.

I have an excerpt below:


Craig supporters call for boycott of Minneapolis airport

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BATTLE GROUND, Wash. -- Supporters of Sen. Larry Craig with the American Land Rights Association are calling for a boycott of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport.

The Battle Ground (Washington) based association says airport police who arrested the senator in a men's room sex sting are responsible for weakening private property rights in the West. Craig is a Republican member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

The American Land Rights Association, which has an office in Washington, D-C, advocates for the use of federal lands and against what it calls federal "land grabs."

The association says the airport should apologize to Craig for what it calls "ambushing" the senator.

Craig is trying to withdraw his guilty plea in the Minnesota case, and if he can do that he would change his mind about resigning.


Mercy - I would love to go back and get some of my own admitted transgressions removed from the official record. But then again, I thought that in America, once you are tried and convicted - you need a reason to appeal. It strikes me as particularly odd that a Senator of this land who pleaded guilty willingly in a plea deal is now trying to wiggle out of this.

How can it make sense to have a Senator saying "I was guilty before I was innocent".

These are the types of people that give gays a bad name. Not alot of people agreed with Michelangelo Signorile outing high profile people in the 80s. But I believe that his intent was to uncover the hypocrisy of people in trying to have it both ways - I want to be gay but I don't want to suffer the repercussions of being gay.

Larry Craig was skulking about bathrooms trying to get some action and everyone who has ever been in a bathroom where this shit goes on KNOWS that it is not an accident. Hopefully someone can come up with a little blue shirt with a big stain to nail this coffin shut and send this fucker back to Idaho to the Mormons and right-wing nut jobs.
