Buckwalter-Poza has already made part of my point, but I've been more disappointed than happy that Senator Craig is now in a scandal. This scandal has been made into a "gay" scandal, rather than a "solicitation" scandal, which is what it should be. Obviously, it's against the law to solicit sex in the airport bathroom, and that should be all there is to it. The law doesn't discriminate on whether it was gay sex or not, and neither should the media. However, I must observe that this "boxing in," for lack of a better phrase, goes both ways. i remember at the '06 Oscars, when Crash upset Brokeback Mountain, many critics before and after the awards claimed that Brokeback deserved to win not only for its quality, but for the bravery of the film. Yet wouldn't a better step be to act like there is nothing abnormal about the movie? It wasn't the first movie about a gay affair, it wasn't the first big movie about a gay affair, and it wasn't the first good movie about a gay affair. I also thought that it was a fairly boring movie, trying to pad out the original short story, and I didn't think that out of any homophobia or anything. Putting the focus back on Craig, though, I hope that any person who wants to rebuke Senator Craig will make that point, otherwise they're just perpetuating a separation of communities.
