CHICAGO, Aug. 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Americans For Truth President Peter LaBarbera issued the following statement today on Sen. Larry Craig's 'homosexual toilet sex' scandal:

"First of all, Sen. Larry Craig needs to step down, and spare himself and the Senate any further embarrassment. He pled guilty to lewd conduct in a men's restroom. It is hard to conceive of police officers – trained to spot homosexual 'toilet sex' – somehow misinterpreting his odd behavior outside a bathroom stall.

"The Republican Party needs to clean its house of all secret perversions and lifestyles – gay, straight and in between – if it is to have any credibility as a 'pro-family' party. The Democrats are worse off: they need to stop pandering to homosexual activists and the radical abortion lobby and become a pro-family, pro-life party.

"As to charges by homosexual activists such as National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman of Republican 'hypocrisy,' they should know that 'h-word' well: the Task Force and another homosexual group, Lambda Legal, have enabled and promoted homosexual 'public sex' – of the type alleged against Sen. Craig – for years.

"Lambda Legal publishes a 'Little Black Book', which is linked to on a homosexual 'Cruising for Sex' website as a helpful tool for 'cruising' men to stay out of legal trouble.

"Rather than tell men outright not to engage in such reckless depravities, Lambda Legal's 'Little Black Book' features headlines like 'Cruising Safely,' and advises, 'If you cruise in parks, bathrooms or other spaces open to public view, trust your instincts, be aware of your surroundings -- and know your rights.

"As for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, before calling others hypocrites, Foreman should check the speakers' logs for past Task Force conferences. In its 1998 'Creating Change' conference, the Task Force invited as a panelist the webmaster for the 'Cruising for Sex' website – which lists thousands of places where men can find sex with other men – including 'cruisy toilets' like the one in Minneapolis that will help end Larry Craig's senate career."
