Here we are, again, reading about the sexual crimes of another American politician, another Republican, and another member of the U.S. Senate. What I find so disturbing isn’t that a married male republican got caught with his sexuality exposed in a guilty plea; that seems to happen all the time. What upsets me is that some men are using public toilets to troll for a trick.
I’ve been in the Minneapolis airport restrooms a number of times. Men at this airport have tapped their toes and kicked their shoes under the stall wall towards mine several times. Now remember, I live in Chicago where nobody obeys the rules of civil privacy in public. After the offending dude kicked or tapped me with his shoe I thought he was being impolite so I kicked the dude back, hard, and said “Keep your ‘#@*%#’ shoe in your own stall.”
I once had a dude wearing a dress and with pumps tap my foot with his pump under the stall wall. I didn’t kick him because I feared I might be charged with a hate crime against transgender people.
Sadly, this incident supposedly took place in an airport, in a passenger only area, during the day, when children might be exposed to the lewd behavior. Everybody has a sexual nature. In our secular society same sex behavior is not a crime. In God’s kingdom, God decides who is guilty of sexual crimes and who isn’t.
My advice to all people is keep your sexuality at home, or at lease in your hotel. Also, if you’re having a conflicted sexual orientation: don’t run for political office, don’t seek the conservative ministry as a profession, don’t engage in sex in public places and don’t engage in anything that’s criminal.
Sadly, the next time I use the Minneapolis airport restroom I'll be sure not to look in the crack of the bathroom stall; I’ll still take my bag into the stall because the airport recording says not to leave you bag unattended; I’ll keep my feet in the center of the stall; I’ll report any impolite men in the stall next to me to the police; and I won’t tap my foot on the floor as I think of the 500 things I have to accomplish before the day is finished; Mostly I won’t plead guilty to things I didn’t do.
The bible would say:"Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near."
