the center for humane sexual culture

Larry Craig is back in the news, this time to give his side of the story of what really happened in the then and now infamous bathroom stall at a Minneapolis airport. He set his suitcase down. Toilet paper got stuck to his shoe. His hand reached down to grab the toilet paper. And then, he was arrested. Craig spared no details on that front, but reiterated his blanket statement that, no, he is not gay or bisexual. And, yes, he kept the incident a secret from friends and family because he was “embarrassed”. Hmmm…it seems Larry Craig is a lot more distressed over the state of his sexuality than the public is. His interview with Matt Lauer this week failed to hit a ratings peak. In fact, according to the Washingon Post, the “Singing Bee” and “America’s Biggest Loser” regularaly draws bigger audiences in the time slot. Have we grown tired of political sex scandals?

Let’s hope so. No wants to go back to the days when a senator (i.e. Craig) could earn conservative support by calling the president a “bad, bad boy”. Shame on you senator for your reckless words. We couldn’t care less what you do behind closed doors.
