It's interesting that on a lot of threads the posters are having coronaries over government power and conspiracy,yet they seem perfectly happy to accept an unknown police officers account.
Along with past allegations, and a guilty plea. Yeah.
There is nothing in the recording that would convict anybody.
There are plenty of married homosexuals.If he is,his wife knew,whether she would admit it or not.And she had come to terms with it.I doubt the kids knew.
In the end what purpose was served.
No, the kids probably didn't. And they're probably the only real "victims" in this matter.
I will just feel so much better with the govern ment making us safe from gays.
This may have actually been a conspiracy.I doubt the officer is a Republican.
See, and I've heard it pitched as a Republican conspiracy against the gays that just happened to backfire. Personally I'd say it's not a particularly partisan issue;
both parties (and most of us in general) would probably say that cutting down on the number of people having sex in well-lit and (relatively) heavily trafficked public bathrooms is a good thing,
regardless of the orientation of the sex in question.
I'd say I've been one of the most vocal proponents of gay rights around here, and even I don't see anything wrong with the officer's actions or the sting/investigation (however you want to pitch it) in general. I want to be able to use the bathroom, or send my (theoretical) kids in to use the bathroom, without two people making it a couple stalls down. Two guys, two girls, or one of each...I don't care.
Get a motel room.
