Cindy Adams on Larry Craig and Homosexuality
Gossip columnist Cindy Adams has a few words about Larry Craig in her Post column today, and they perked up our ears:
"I have nothing for this ruined ex- politico ex-senator ex-nice family man Larry Craig. Never met him. Never heard of him before. I don't care a fig about him. I don't care about Idaho either. I don't even know where that is, other than you get to Chicago and make a left. Aside from a baked potato topped with sour cream, who-the-hell ever makes mention of Idaho? So, I have no horse in this race. It's just that in my limited, not-very-smart view, his guilt is primarily hypocrisy. The rest of the crime, if in fact Craig is gay, is of our making. The tawdry solicitation leaves us partly to blame. Draping homosexuality in shame is what forces the weak to hide and lie and rail against it publicly in order to cover themselves privately. A guess would be he spoke and voted and campaigned against it in fear for himself. To draw a curtain around his own being. Those Enron guys probably didn't start out bilking billions. They started small. A little here, a bit more there. It's always the first step. Suddenly you're in it up to your eyeballs. Same with this shivering little scared mess of a man. Terrified of his own self, he early on made one statement. Then maybe had to back it up. Then he maybe enlarged it. All in mortal dread that his innermost voice might make itself heard. Possibly someday, if all of us, each with our own demons, could wash away the stain of whatever tints our sexuality, this pathetic soul would never have picked a bathroom for a bedroom."

dear andy....
this is hilarious....the story, the site, the inane aspects of summer in new york....just as the hypocrisy of so much after being away from the extremities of pockets of culture and anti-culture and anti-matter....yet, what i've seen gay men come to accept is baffling, if i'd not seen how much advertising and other absolute crap is being shoved down their gullets on a daily basis within the confined limitations of some semblance of urban existence with planning that is off-the-hook if not off the charts at times.
with all due respect, it makes me comprehend how you've allowed so much advertising on your site as well when i consider that i've been in touch for several years now. the changes -- both positive and negative -- perhaps the advertising goes with the latter, yet, a summer in the city, it's amazing but not surprising the crap that some people have embraced as a formative movement in a positive direction that isn't actually creating karma that will be ultimately very harsh, as it's nothing remotely close to a healthy garden. if any fag (or, maybe, a dyke) is remotely aware of contemporary history they'd maintain their awareness that a healthy seed (and soil) for the garden has nothing to do with mourning wet dream discharge in their underwear on the corner of 9th avenue and 14th street.
take care.
