LGBTQ parents react to the Larry Craig scandal

There have been mixed reactions to this latest scandal even within our own community.


Loudest is the cry of hypocrisy; a cry that is certainly warranted given Craig’s staunch opposition to equal rights. He’s about as conservative as they get. Without fail, time and time again, Craig has voted against our families on important legislation.


Hypocrite or not, many people have sympathized with Craig - even in our own community. How many of us made fun of gays in high school so that we wouldn’t be picked on ourselves? How many of us had boyfriends or girlfriends so that people wouldn’t question our sexuality? It’s a time of inner conflict and fear. Granted, making a gay joke isn’t nearly as harmful as voting against ENDA, but still… a parallel does exist.


With all the publicity and media hoopla surrounding this scandal, I think that it is important, as parents, to recognize the less obvious victims of the situation. Our hearts certainly go out to Craig’s three children in what must certainly be a difficult and trying time for them and their family.
