So, Sen. Craig of Idaho got caught man-trolling in a Minneapolis airport. Pastor Doug Wilson weighed in his thoughts about the issue speaking as an Idahoian (sp?). Sandip Roy of the New American Media (yea! new!) writes in "The Outcome of Wanting (Gay) Sex: A Shakespearean Tragedy" that the only crime committed by the Senator was desiring to have sex, and what happened in that Minneapolis airport stall was comparable to what happens every night in singles' bars across the country. Macht wonders why we all assume that Sen. Craig is "gay" when, if he has a wife and kids at home, we don't immediately assume he is actually "bisexual?"

Does anyone expect our singles out cruising in a bar to be held to the same standard as our elected officials? Theoretically, there was a time when holding office meant putting personal wants and lives on hold for the service of the state. Big deal if all the Senator wanted was sex. If we ever get to the point of multi-sex bathrooms, I don't want anyone being able to hit on me while I'm trying to do my business in a stall. That's why we have singles' bars.
