can anyone tell me why Craig is any different than Barney Franks?

[jl1966]

Here is a point I have not seen expressed thus far in this discussion. Sen. Craig is an avowed opponent of gay rights, yet pled guilty to lewd behavior in a public mens room, which in my understanding of the justice system means you are guilty. The fact that a man who rails against a certain behavior in public, then does that same thing in private, that troubles me. Just like Rosie O'Donnell having armed security but no other people have a right to protect themselves. You may not like Bill Clinton, but he sure is not gay.
