A Short Comment on Senator Craig

It is interesting that Senator Craig, after admitting to signaling a police officer in an attempt to initiate sex in an airplane bathroom, is now saying over and over again that he is not gay. My first reaction to this was to think: "Oh he's gay, he just doesn't know it."

But maybe part of what it means to be gay, or to say it about yourself, is having the strength of character to be honest about who you are, what your attractions are, and to be able to live with being different. In that sense, Senator Craig is, in fact, not gay.
