Human Being
I’m not offended by Larry Craig because of his homosexuality, but because he is a hypocrite who once had the power to actively deny gays their full civil rights. And, if I recall correctly, he used it.
Craig’s little misdemeanor is actually unrelated to his now-recognized homosexuality. People of all orientations enjoy the thrill of illicit sexual behavior. But the recklessness appalls and the absurdity of such closetedness is apparent.
I would ask my friends in the Republican Party —who love their country enough to know that its foreign policy must never again be lost to the degenerates in the other party— to carefully consider the value of its own anti-gay positions. Is it the Holy Bible that gives you the authority to ignore the science of sexuality? Homosexuality is as old as the species. God said, “Let there be light —and it was fabulous.” You know that. Gender preferences are innate. Is there really any question? Moral conservatism consists of a hell of a lot more than denouncing and demeaning homosexuals; it should, instead, extol and practice the virtues of commitment and honest sexual being.
Take it from an involuntarily celibate old man: human beings should have a right to be what they are as sexual creatures, but they owe it to others to have complete dignity about it and to take absolute responsibility. We are only separate from the animals by our human being —the eternal mind of the species, thinking itself into existence.
Lying to the world about what you are as a man for the sake of political ambition? I reject that as wrong and still unnecessary.
