i never have been gay. >> larry craig not gay.united states senate any way and was replaced by another idaho republican named james rich. he rented the private jet of frank van der sloot to fly around the state in his successful campaign to replace larry craig in the senate. he comes up a lot in idaho politics. he's not only a co-chair, he's also directly held fund-raisers for mr. romney. he's donated to the super pac. as well as to the romney for president campaign. a few years after he helped finance the homosexual lifestyle billboards around idaho. he also got very, very involved in an award winning investigative series published by a small newspaper. it was called the post register. the paper published evidence that boy scout officials and mormon church officials had been warned about child molesters in local boy scout troops. they had known about it and kept them in the organization and facilitated their further access to kids. it was a brutal and disturbing investigation that went right at the most powerful pillars of that c

be gay right i mean there is i think some self loathing i think there are people out there again larry craig is a perfect example he's very homophobic legislative history but turns out he's gay it's a really sad case he hears that you have a senator who asked to have sex in an airport bathrooms right it makes sense in some ways that he is so uncomfortable and then kind of conflicted about being a sinner according to him not according to me that he would try to legislate other people's sexuality right i mean those are the people who maybe have the deepest issues are the ones who probably care the most. it is interesting when those cases come out time and time again. but do you think that handing out abstinence committment cards will prevent kids from having sex that they just pledge to not have it i think that the combination of a purity bear on and if you've seen. that i think that's their best shot i think of purity bear combined with maybe a purity ball where you pledge your absence to your father which is really weird freud and i mean we could get into that whole other discussion but you

sex phobic who are the ones who get caught in the bathroom right like toe tapping like senator larry craig or david vitter right to louisiana senator who goes to prostitutes and apparently incidentally has a diapers fetish but it's always coming from those people i feel like it's just dealt with their own issues and went to see a therapist we'd have a lot better of a country why do you think people are so scared of sexual freedom i mean here we are twenty first century i mean how many years since roe v wade and this is still an issue being brought up at every election. i mean i think people are some people are resentful and jealous i think they're they have on happy and satisfying sex lives our love lives so they don't want anyone else to enjoy them and i do think that there's a sad case like there was an article in the times the other day about you it was called homophobic you might be gay right i mean there is i think some self loathing i think there are people out there again larry craig is a perfect example he's very homophobic legislative history but turns out he's gay it's a really s

it's just really really interesting like the larry craig thing i mean the you know and like is it chicken is it i feel like it those are the questions like is it chicken or the egg are you the kind of person that totally has affairs or cheats or lies about your sexuality and also therefore want to become a politician or are you a politician first and then the state you know and then there's a desire to assert your power. base so if you're coming on to talk about this issue and interesting one that was comedian.

i'd like you to reality test them with me number one because so many people have come out in the larry craig generation of people who just stayed closeted and had sham marriages because fading away and dying off most people realize that they have gay friends they gave neighbors they have gay relatives and and that they're not we are dangerous and thus the this movement is just as inevitable now at this point in time as the civil rights of the fifty's and sixty's were after truman integrated the military and suddenly what people were supposed to be like it was not a problem is it makes sense yeah i mean a think that one of the clearer changes over the past two decades has been since the defense of marriage act was was only passed into law in one thousand nine hundred six by a democratic president is that there has been a generation of people coming of age knowing somebody who's gay and that change knowing people knowing somebody who is going through that whether it's at work whether it's at home whether it's in your place of worship. it really put. you in a position where you have to take the
