		<description>My response on my local newspapers website was the following...

...so many different things being brought up. I believe what is said is true, many who participate in these activities do consider themselves heterosexual, and do live lives of denial where they can't see any way out.

I think that removing the toilets and putting in pay toilets is a step in A direction, but it's not going to stop the activity. Any illicit activity can and will always find a way to continue, as long as their are people who are going to participate in it.

I think the problem that everyone is ignoring or just not addressing is really the root core of all of this. It's the constant damnation of anyone who remotely shows any signs of being gay. Kids grow up with these images, then end up realizing they have these feelings, hating themselves, denying who they are, getting married, acting on their feelings secretly, they get found out because they still have these feelings, and then they're treated like they're horrible people for doing the only thing they felt they could.

Also, here is what was said and I guess your story didn't mention.

***The officer then showed his police identification under the divider and pointed toward the exit "at which time the defendant exclaimed 'No!'" the complaint said.

The Aug. 8 police report says that Craig had handed the arresting officer a business card that identified him as a member of the Senate.

"What do you think about that?" Craig is alleged to have said, according to the report.***</description>
