Full Eye On Boise post here

The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota has filed a brief backing Idaho Sen. Larry Craig in his Minnesota court case, in which Craig is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport restroom sex solicitation sting. The ACLU contends that the whole sting was unconstitutional. “The actions of police in this restroom, the sting operations, are things that have been conducted against gay men forever,” said Chuck Samuelson, executive director of the Minnesota ACLU. “The object of the exercise, fundamentally, was never really to stop solicitation of sex but rather to ‘out’ gay males”/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.
