  • This is so hilarious. It should be a sitcom.
    Larry Craig, you're such a liar and God bless your wife for standing by your side. You should have told her before you married her.
    I can't believe you're still denying that you're a homosexual. I don't understand how people can hate who they are. You should embrace it, Larry. How nice it would be to not have to hide your identity in the men's bathroom
    And Suzanne, I don't think it's gonna work out, stop pretending.

  • Craig is so pathetic, his problem is a textbook example of what happens when someone tries to deny an overpowering piece of themself. That piece will squirt out in a neurotic anger against anyone else who is brave enough not to deny that part of their personality. From his first vote against sexual civil rights he (or those who love him) should have sought a good counselor to overcome his issue. This pathetic man has been allowed to deliver hate speech from the highest podium in our country. Where were his fellow lawmakers while this went on for 25 years? On yeah, they're all dealing w/ f***ing neurocies of their own!

  • He may be an example of what happens as a result of widespread hatred from others, and how people are inclined to repress themselves, be closeted, and even attack those who represent who they are pretending not to be.

    If society didn't present such disapproval, unacceptance, hostility, and even hatred for homosexuals, people may not have to live like this, and may not behave in this fashion.

    Just a theory.

    Also interesting theory. I saw on television recently, the Science Channel, Discovery Channel, or one of those channels, where a university group did a study of young men (20s), to determine how they felt about homosexuality. What the study participants didn't know what that they were divided into two groups, those who claimed to be homophobic, and those who claimed to be accepting of homosexuals.

    Then the men from each group, one by one in private of course, were each shown homosexual pornographic images and/or pornography, while monitors were connected to their penises. What do you imagine that they found?

    They found that the group who was accepting of homosexuals was not aroused by the gay porn. However, the group that was homophobic was stimulated by the gay porn.

    Me thinks they protest too much!
