[QUOTE=jtgain] I disagree. Regardless of how you feel, or the actions of the conservative Republicans, a man with Larry Craig’s wealth could surely hire high-priced gay escorts to satisfy his lusts. [/QUOTE] That’s not very safe anymore. Just ask Rev. Haggard of Colorado – it was his gay escort who blew the whistle on him when he became incensed that this guy was a regular customer, but in public was attacking gay people. Gay escorts, like gay people in general, no longer feel any need to assist in the lies of people who publicly attack the community. ---
