Jacob W (below) Yea I heard about that. I couldn't tell you what's going on with that.

Answer 1

Happens all the time.

I've got an idea. The Republicans believe in profiling. It seems like we have a reason to use profiling to catch lewd behavior.

Answer 2

I guess they are really men's men, I didn't know what that old statement meant until Larry Craig came along. The state of Idaho was so impressed by it that they put him in their "Hall of Fame". I'm waiting for this next guy's state to build him a statue. I guess the way you separate the men from the boys in the GOP is with a crowbar.
Talk about creeping me out, just after the Larry Craig episode I actually had to use a men's room in an airport and being disabled and more at risk for assaults I was scared as hell because I didn't know if a Republican politician was using those same facilities.

Answer 3

What's sad is the hypocritical behavior of members of a party that plays the 'holier-than-thou' morality card to appease the religious coalitions, paying lip service (possible pun) to 'family values'. A self-righteous brand of 'morality' that doesn't allow someone to be openly gay or to support of gay rights. Instead, that 'morality' forces their party members into the closet, thus perpetuating their own hypocrisies. It also very sad when that brand of 'morality' dictates that racism might be more acceptable than homosexuality. (see last link).

Since you brought it up... another 'wide stance' Republican, who sponsored a bill in the Florida legislature that would have tightened the state's prohibition on public sex, was busted for trying to obtain a $20 'unspecified act' from an undercover cop in a public restroom. I'd say he's hypocritical, frugal (cheap!) and maybe racist.

"Allen, who also served as the McCain campaign's co-chairman in Florida, has decided that he would come out of this scandal looking better if he is perceived as a racist rather than a homo. Sweet!" (NOT!)

Answer 4

Actually, I believe he's not a neo-con, but more of a traditional conservative.

However on the gay rights issue they share the same perverted giggling "it's bad" position, so maybe it doesn't matter. People who spend a lot of time whining about how bad equality for gays would be are usually closet cases, so he couldn't just come out in the open and ask some fellow for a date. So he had to prowl around bathrooms.

The "conservatives" mobilize on the "gay issue" by exploiting hate and fear. The "liberals" do it by promising sexual freedom and not delivering it.

Answer 5

This will never stop happening to Republicans as long as they continue their attitudes about gays in general. When they stop being ignorant and accept that the only difference between gays and straights is what they do in the bedroom, and remember that it's no one's business, maybe the party will start attracting people who are comfortable with who they are. How many of them have desperately tried to live a straight life, though they're gay, because of the intolerance of conservatives? It's very sad - for these men's families as well as themselves.

EDIT: Sigh...too many of them are like the "John K" that answered this question. They refuse to see the obvious. Those who don't feel pressured to pretend to be something they are not really don't have much need of bathroom sex. Sure, it happens with the dregs of homosexual society, but that is no different than straight men who cruise corners looking for a quick bj. There will always be those who like the seamier side of life, no matter their sexual orientation. But when straight married men seek out sex in bathrooms with other men, you can bet they've been hogtied by guilt and shame piled on them by their conservative surroundings and teachings. They did what they were told by their conservative peers. Rejected who they really were and lived a straight life. Except you can't escape who you really are, and they eventually end up acting like perverts and hurting their families. The blind leading the blind...

Answer 6

Makes me wonder why so many homosexuals are having sex in public restrooms. Did you happen to catch Governor Jim McGreevey's book? He frequented the rest stops on the New Jersey Turnpike. Quite the romantic setting. What causes homosexuals in or out of the closet to behave this way?

Answer 7

Pretty soon, the Paparazzi will stop following these boring celebrities and start hanging out in toilet stalls - the stories are far more interesting and involve less makeup.

Answer 8

It must be the call of the stall. How sad for those GOP members that might be gay, to have to exercise their Demons in a public bathroom, so much for family values. another poster question why we do not post about gay Dem's , it's not about being gay, it's about having anonymous sex in public while passing or stopping legislate that denies rights to gays because they are gay. It's about each year right before there is a election, the GOP when in control of the Congress, demands a vote on gay marriage. It's about states like Ohio in the last election that puts on the ballot a issue about gay marriage, knowing it will bring out their homophobes and elect W once again.

Answer 9

Man, at this point I'm afraid to go into a restroom where there might be Republicans.

Answer 10

Well, you know what they say...."He who screams the loudest...."

Or as they also say "He who smelt it...."

Frankly I think its funny, and we need more than Britney for comic relief especially with global warming claiming so much of Southern California these days.
