I believe the "I am not gay" speech being quoted there is a response to an earlier accusation of gay flirting, and not to the bathroom incident....
Many men who have sex with other men make a big deal out of denying their [[homosexuality]]. This seems to be based on a sharp distinction between [[homosexual behavior]], i.e., two males being sexual together, and [[homosexual identity]]. I'm not sure why this matters. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:33, 31 August 2007 (EDT)

:We have the [[Conservapedia:Manual_of_Style#What_Not_To_Include_In_Articles]] which prohibits gossip and outing by blackmail. Perhaps we need to include innuendo. True, Craig plead guilty rather than no contest to a disorderly conduct, but no homosexual act was involved in this case, according to any police report. This again is like the Mark Foley case, no homosexual act is involved, and Craig specifically denies being gay. I think we may have to include the word "innunedo" in the guideline, under a presumption of innocence clause. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 13:59, 31 August 2007 (EDT)

:I believe the "I am not gay" speech being quoted there is a response to an earlier accusation of gay flirting, and not to the bathroom incident.... Craig made a different speech there, and the details were different. He has acknowledged that he put his suitcase so as to block the door to his stall (really, where else are you going to put a suitcase in a tiny stall, you want it as far from the waterworks as possible), and that he may have accidentally tapped his foot and brushed up against the other person's foot due to his wide stance, and that he may have passed his hand under the stall to pick up a piece of paper.... I think the more significant thing coming out of this whole incidence is that it uncovers the activities of certain homosexuals, who ''do'' in fact go to public restrooms, make various signals to "cruise" for other homosexuals, and then engage in sex acts there in the restroom.... we don't tolerate that in public places between a man and a women, or even between two women, so why should we tolerate it when men do it?
