19. I don't really care about the hypocrisy...
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 11:51 AM by 2beToby
You know, his hypocrisy doesn't really irk me. He's a closet case who believes he has to fight his "urges" and that everyone else should too. Hell, I've met more than one woman who believe women shouldn't have the right to vote!!! How backwards is that?! People can be something and still think that it's wrong. Hypocritical? Big deal. What bothers me is that he lies about it. Liars piss me off.

I'm a gay guy, and in truth, I've NEVER heard of someone trying to pick someone up in a bathroom by tapping their foot or putting their hand under the stall. If someone ever did that while I was in a bathroom, I'd be thoroughly creeped out. Even before I heard about this.

How is this not some sort of sexual harassment? If I were at a bar and somebody, without saying a word came up, and started tapping their feet and putting their foot on mine, I'd move and be pretty freaked out. If they did it in a place where I couldn't go anywhere to get away (eg a bathroom stall) I'd call a cop. Who thinks this is acceptable behavior? I wouldn't want this happening to me, much less my young son.

Yes, it should absolutely be a crime to proposition someone in a way that makes them thoroughly uncomfortable when they are in a vulnerable position. In a bathroom with your pants down qualifies as a vulnerable position. It's already a crime to lie to the court. So either he shouldn't have plead guilty to begin with, or he shouldn't be denying it now. So let him be strung up for lying.
