Straight men HATE gay men for one reason and one reason only: sex. Straight men have to labor and work for every tiny taste of pussy they get (unless they're a rock star or pro athelete), but getting sex for gay men is easy beyond words. Sex is at the touch of our fingertips. They hate us for that. The choice is endless for gay men. Life partners, boyfriends, fuck buddies, on-line hook ups, bar tricks, bathouses, public bathrooms, parks...If a gay man wants sex he can find it in an instant. Its not uncommon for gay men who are good, platonic friends to do the nasty on occassion. Poor, poor straight guys have to beg and plead. They can't stand it. A friend of mine wouldn't have sex with her highschool boyfriend because she was a "good girl." So, he would leave her house, run over to a certain male classmate's house and fuck like weasels. He would NEVER consider himself to be gay. My friend found out this had gone on at her 25 the reunion.

Men, gay and straight, of all ages are horny sluts. I was watching one of those HBO sex shows and they featured a woman who did sexual counceling for couples. It was all about the Victoria's Secret lingere removed slowly piece, by piece; the whip cream and strawberries; the candles; the telling the woman she's beautiful; the insertion of a finger and asking if everything was ok...men want SEX. They want their dicks sucked, they want to fuck, they want to get fucked, they want to sweat and grunt...they want SEX. Gay men have SEX, and horny straight guys hates for that.

Public bathrooms freak me out, and I dread having to go into them, so men's room sex doesn't appeal to me. I think most guys into it fall into three categories: closet cases like Craig, guys who like the danger of getting caught in the act, and sex addicts. I don't think what Craig did was that big of a deal. He doesn't need to resign for it, but he's a giant, cowardly hypocrite and that's my problem with him.

Traditionally, self loathing was par-for-the-coarse with homosexuals. Boys in the Band pretty well summed it up. Shortly after that toxic movie we had David Bowie kick the closet door open so hard he broke the hinges and nothing was ever the same. Gay rights, acceptance and visibilty have made huge strides since then. There aren't many compelling reasons for a gay man to stay closeted these days. Location? give me a break! Move, its as simple as that. there's a whole big world outside of Idaho, Montana, Mississippi, etc. that offers a full, enriching, open and honest life full of opportunities (and not just in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, LA and Miami).

My theory on these wack-job Republican and conservative closet-cases: Their self-loathing is raised to a nuclear degree. They live in self-imposed fear while they watch gays going about their lives open and happy and accepted. They have to meet their needs in the most depressing and furtive manner. They lashout and take revenge on well-adjusted gays by supporting and initiating cruel, destructive and bigotted initiatives and legislation. They're cowards.

Yeah right, that's why there are so many married men trolling bathrooms and online hook up sites.

I'll go for the handicapped stall. Its more like a suite.

Get off your high horse. How about when straight men give up their sleazy lap dances and lingere lunches behind their wives' backs. At least gay men are up front about what they do.

The vast majority of gay men, myself included, haven't had sex in a public bathroom. But alot of gay men do, and usually its with someone's husband.

I have alot more respect for the queer guy who tells his friends, "I had the hottest sex in Macy's bathroom last night, It was incredible!" than I do for the straight guy he had that sex with who goes home and twll the wife he had to work late.

Spare me the shock and piety.

and if he had been in the right place ate the right time?

ooh-la-la!

Let him go there and make a major public address to the Iraqi people. then he can talk about success.

Its beyond imagination that this bad vaudeville can have any credibility with the American people. In fact, it does nothing more than cast even more suspicion on anything that might be in Patraeus's report.

...and it was crystal clear during the 2000 election that he had absolutely no business occupying that office. Yes, he's a buffoon, and he makes the entire nation look like baffoons.

"Bring it on", "We're kicking ass", it doesn't take a genius to realize that kind of inflamatory nonsence will do nothing but infuriate and incite the very people who wish to harm us.

I go back to money whenever I comment on Iraq. As long as that situation festers and simmers just like it is with no end in sight and nothing trully being accomplished, the cash facet is turned on, and all of the Bush/Cheney cronies are making fortunes. I'm beginning to wonder if his "Bring it on/We're kicking ass" comments aren't just stupid.

They could have just told the GAO "We're kicking ass."

I think most people know Iraq is disaster and by this point have tuned out the carefully manufactured "information" eminating from the administration.

Patraeus will do his performance art piece next week and most of the public will view him as just another liar like Colin Powell.

If the situation changes and there's more money to be made by pulling our troops out, Bush would load them into a U-Haul himself. The only light he's seeing now is the light in the eyes of his big industrial military complex cronies eyes'.

the action in the Senate men's room?! It must sound like an Ann Miller show in there.
