Larry Craig, closet case

I would hope that you are are aware of Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho), who was arrested in a Minneapolis airport bathroom back in June for trying to solicit a MALE undercover cop for sex.

Hilzoy (via Andrew Sullivan) talks about why he at first sympathized with Craig for being a closet case then changed his mind:

Craig seems to have made a habit of voting against laws that would secure the rights of gay men and lesbians. In addition to supporting the Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, he voted against a bill that would have banned job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, against expanding the definition of hate crimes to include sexual orientation, and was rated zero by the Human Rights Campaign in each of the last three Congresses (1, 2, 3; all pdf.) I truly can't imagine what it would be like -- how little self-respect a person would have to have -- to amass that sort of voting record while cruising for gay sex in airport restrooms.

Exactly. Craig is just like Roy Cohn and others who have railed against gay people while trolling for young men at night. However, this fellow here seems to understand Larry Craig's plight!
