Larry Craig's downfall
In 20 years, the sexual issues and tensions that led to Craig's demise will not matter anymore.
By Garrison Keillor [2007-09-05]

  • Titter

    So many crazy people here on the internet. As some one who has lived in both the South and the Midwest (hence the moniker), you all are smoking crack. Homophobia has declined radically in the normal world. Yes, people still say stupid shit. People will always say stupid shit. They're people, but things are changing.

    Gay people live in rural areas, happily even sometimes. I was born and raised in a terrifically rural area. My queer relatives are/were hardly chased out of town by pitchforked mobs. My own sexuality barely raises an eyebrow.

    Forty years ago you could hang a man for his color, now that would be unthinkable. By the end of my life, gay equality (legally) will almost certainly be achieved. Sometimes we have to stop and go hell yeah! Things are changing. Slowly but surely.

    I can live with that.
