False promises

All we know is, Craig's opening line from today's news conference at which he -- again, and repeatedly -- denied that he's gay will surely make the late-night comedy rounds. Craig's opener: "Thank you for coming out today."-Mary Ann Akers writes on the controversy over the incident with Senator Craig. All over the news is the incident in which Senator Craig was caught in a bathroom in an airport, a notorious gay pick up spot, Craig was caught hinting towards a police officer that he wanted to partake in gay activity. Now, my point is that no matter how many marches are held, no matter how many laws are passed, prejudices will forever remain as long as we live The way people conduct prejudice today is merely a silenced version of the past. Beliefs of parents are passed down to their children who will continue to pass it to their own children. Just because slavery is abolished and there arent as many open displays of prejudice, it still remains. My example is the Craig case. What does it matter if hes gay? Why is it such a bad thing for his career? The answers simple, some prejudice people would rather vote for a straight senator than a gay one no matter what. The fact he was caught attempting to pick up a guy in a bathroom should not matter. Bill Clinton had multiple affairs yet they were straight, so it makes it okay. If the senator was seen going into a hotel room with some other women, no one would think twice its the fact he was picking up a guy is what stirred everything up.
