No, Jonny, it will result in a massive "gay hunt" to find those that look and act gay to "weed" them out of the "manly" party. This goes to the core of the party, who we are. Are we "real men", or Democrats(women, as personified by their leaders Senator Clinton and Edwards(sorry Obama, may be next time). Women and gays belong in the Democratic party and manly men in the Republican party(but not too much testosterone or they become gay).

Mr Stein, would you be so quick to defend Larry Craig if he had been caught soliciting a female prostitute for sex? Or is this just an automatic defense of an alleged gay Senator because he is apparently gay? For a U.S. Senator to solicit an anonymous sex partner in a public bathroom is just plain sick and reprehensible behavior for an elected official, either gay or straight! (none the less being completely stupid!)

ewad -
I'm glad I don't have to solicite sex in bathrooms because I have a partner, a monogomous relationship and a healthy self-esteem, but I think that calling it 'just plain sick and reprehensible' is grossly overstating the offense. After all, seeking permission for a concentual sex act is not like rape and this notion of secret, gay sex in bathrooms is only a product of a homophobic culture. If we were all free of that b/s, than Craig would have been flirting with a guy in an open and above board fashion at a night club or even, on a more wholesome note, a soda fountain pharmacy. [Aw - that's so sweet!] The thing that is sad about the situation is only that:
a. He's a closet case [his overarching life lie]
b. He was cheating on his wife or trying to [his once every couple of months lie]
c. He discriminates against other homosexuals through his politics [his professional lie]
d. The cops spend tax payer dollars trying to catch homos who are so starved for an outlet for their deepest yearnings that they would want sex in a room that smells like shit and sanitizer.
ewad - get over yourself. I bet someone could ferret out a detail of your life that they would argue was 'just plain sick and reprehensible', too.
