I guess I just must not be living right. I go in, do my business, wash my hands (ALWAYS! I'm a nurse, so it goes with the territory) and walk out. I don't look anyone in the eye, don't make conversation, just do what a bathroom is designed to accomodate. I've never had any problems like Sucker, and I'm almost 50 years old. Even in my younger days, when I was riding a motorcycle across the country and went to sleep in the grass at an interstate rest stop in Indiana that seemed unusually busy at 3 a.m. (What can I say? I was a clueless straight guy who didn't figure out what was going on until years later.) Far be it from me to say what gay guys do in restrooms (although I lived in San Francisco from 2003-2005, and I did not hold my bladder for that time, let me tell ya). But my experience has been that you don't get cruised if you don't give signs that you're open to it. Not that there's anything wrong with that! But wash your hands before you leave...

Either he was was lying when he said he slammed the guy's head into the stall in order to seem butcher (and more pathetic) than he is, or he was lying when he said he "held" the guy until the cops came in order to seem less homophobic (and less pathetic) than he is. It's all so very confusing. But either way, the guy should just shut up. And MSNBC should fire him. Because either he beat a gay man for hitting on him and bragged about it or he pretended to beat a gay man and bragged about. And either way, he's disgusting and, dare I say, much worse than Don Imus. It’s amazing how bad Carlson has foot-in-mouth disease for an on-air personality.
